When you're in a really pissy-ass mood, what CD helps change that mood?

[LynneSin]

For me it's always ELO's "Out of the Blue" and believe me I'm in a pissy-ass mood right now!

1. Songs for Sixty Five Roses

It's a compiliation CD that came out last year. NC musicians doing covers of NC music to benefit cystic fibrosis research. The daughter of legendary NC musician John Plymale was diagnosed with CF. The fact that so many talented people would come to the aid of an old friend warms my heart, and the performances on the album are absolutely great.

2. Squirrel Nut Zippers

Happy and jazzy and goofy and catchy. I can't stay in a bad mood for long.

19. Members of them are on the Sixty Five Roses

Tom Maxwell and Ken Mosher join Robert Sledge in a cover of the song Buddha, Buddha. Katherine Whalen performs a song whose title escapes me.

3. If I'm in a really pissy-ass mood...

CD's don't help.

[LynneSin]

4. I don't think my boss would appreciate me getting shit-faced drunk at work

But I know what you mean

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

6. Yeah, like that ever stops you.

[youthere]

7. Ah you never know until you've tried it!

Just kidding..I don't reccommend getting hammered at work. Hope your day goes better though.

5. Dropkick Murphy's "Warrior's Code"

It makes me want to go out drinkin' and fightin'.

[Beer Snob-50]

8. Love the Dropkick Murphy's

I think Irish music in general has the theme "Let's get drunk, fight, and then die!"

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

11. Yeah, pretty much.

:rofl:

[unpossibles]

9. Talking Heads "Naked" works for me

or at least it did about 10 minutes ago. Anything by Cachao or Tito Puente works wonders too.

There are others - I guess it depends on what I want the end result to be. if I want to be angrier sometimes I'll listen to some Faith No More.

15. Billy Joel River of Dreams

Especially track 4 A Minor Variation The music is blues-y and the lyrics...

A Minor Variation by Billy Joel

Some days I have to give right in to the blues
Despite how I try to keep fightin'
It's a sure shot I'm going to lose

And I'll tell you why
You think I'm crazy
It's such a sad composition
But can you blame me

For what's been causing my bad disposition?
Ain't nothing new with my blue situation
And nothing's fine, it's just a minor variation

When troubles want to find me, I ain't hard to find
They know where I am
Like a hungry pack of wolves when it's feeding time
They tear up a man

And it's a strange thing
'Cause now it don't really matter
More of the same thing
Don't even hurt it's been part of the pattern

But still in all it's a small consulation
I just define it as a minor variation

Ain't no way to fight 'em darling

Ain't no way around 'em baby

Ain't no way to take 'em honey

Nowhere to hide and believe me I've tried to shake 'em

I'm getting to the point where I don't feel the pain
And I've had enough
I'm ready for the next time it hits me again
'Cause I've gotten tough

It doesn't faze me
And now I've made my decision
I may be crazy
It's not as though I don't know that condition

Until I'm through with this blue situation
Pass me the wine, it's just a minor variation

Ain't nobody's business, baby

Ain't nobody's worry darlin'

Ain't nobody's problem

No way to win when you've already been forgotten


And it's a strange thing
'Cause now it don't really matter
More of the same thing
Don't even hurt, it's a part of the pattern

Until I'm through with this blue situation
Pass me the wine, it's just a minor variation

eidted to add: ya GOTTA get up outta yo chair and MOOOOVE! Dis is da tune for it!

17. Tenacious D

I can't stay mad when I'm singing "Dio" at the top of my lungs

[taterguy]

18. Difficult to listen to when you're in a pissy mood at work

Unless you work in an office where liberal use of the F-Bomb is tolerated

[izzybeans]

21. Of Montreal's "Satanic Panic in the Attic"

Just dance and sing and all worries go away.

22. Easy E All Stars (reggae) Radiodread (cover of OK Computer)

It takes me from a place where I am upset or pissy and resets me back to mellow. It doesnt make me happy per se, but levels me off pretty well.

Check it out if you like Radiohead

[ComerPerro]

23. "Workingman's Dead", Grateful Dead. "Billy Breathes" by Phish

[Richard Steele]

24. I have a Polysics mix CD I put together...

It's almost impossible to not get happy listening
to "New Wave Jacket", or "I My Me Mine"...

If all else fails, I like to imagine that it's actually
Professor Stephen Hawking "sitting in" for the vocals on their
cover of "My Sharona". That's seriously happymaking!
