Songs that give me that tingly feeling

Not that kind of tingly feeling. Perverts.

Contrary to popular belief, I like music that has nothing to do with the Fab Four. I was thinking about some of them today, after my cry. Who doesn’t really use music to escape? I don’t listen to enough of it these days. I used to have 3000 of my favorite songs on my MP3 player. I gave it to my daughter, because she broke hers. I never replaced it. Besides, what a pain in the ass to reassemble my entire playlist.

Anyways, some songs just send shivers through you.

I have always wondered why someone might be a Rolling Stones fan, instead of a Beatles fan.

I know.

But there are people who prefer Mick Jagger to Paul McCartney. I have no idea why, but the proof is in the pudding. Whatever the fuck that means. I could look it up, but I am tired.

 The Tingle List

Independence day by Martina McBride

This song reminds me of leaving my ex. The meek shall inherit the earth, bitches.

Because you loved me by Celine Dion

My mom and I danced to this song at my wedding.

 Right Down The Line by Gerry Rafferty

You know I need your love
You’ve got that hold over me
Long as I’ve got your love
You know that I’ll never leave
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it’s been you woman
Right down the line

No explanation needed, I don’t think.

Let it please be him by Vicki Carr

I love to pantomime to this song, with all the drama of waiting for the elusive him to call. Yet, alas, it’s not him. And then I die.

I put a spell on you by CCR 

This is a killer jam. I ain’t lyin’.

New kid in town by The Eagles

Glenn Frey’s voice hits just the right notes, inducing tingles.

You got it by Roy Orbison

There are so many more, but now I want to know about you guys. What song gives you the tingles?

  1. As you know I love Elvis. My fave and my mom’s was I can’t Help Falling in Love. I love any thing Dusty Springfield sings – in particular All I see is You, You Don’t Have to Say you Love Me, Preacher Man, I do like the Gaga, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Rascal Flatts – aw hell, I can continue for days. Roy – It’s Over, Cry, In Dreams and Running Scared……. I get in moods and right now I am in a serious Dusty mood.
    (Rolling Stones – Fade to Black)

  2. I am so not a music person. It’s not that I don’t like music, I just never got into following it and I can never remember the song title or the artist name. I’m the only one.

  3. Omigosh! I love Roy Orbison … and that song too! The best Roy (imho) is “Running Scared” … the shy guy gets and keeps the girl! I love Lady Gaga’s “Americano”. AND the Moody Blues are awesome (esp. Nights in White Satin). Lately the Medieval Baebes are making me tingly too. And Juanes’ “A Dios Le Pido”. http://vimeo.com/28934355 And Stevie Ray Vaughan’s stuff!

  4. Yoko Ono – Barenaked Ladies: If I was John and you were Yoko…I would gladly give up musical genius. This is my favorite line of all time and am lucky to have a wife I feel this way about.

  5. Oh my…. I only have one tingle song, and it does so because it’s the one piece of music that literally takes me back in time, and oddly enough that’s Train’s “Drops of Jupiter”. As soon as I hear the opening chords, I get chills and all of a sudden it’s the turn of the millennium again. No idea why my mind would so strongly associate with THAT time period and THAT song, but it does…

    • That makes sense, though. Some songs become the soundtrack to a certain time frame or memory. Every time I hear “3am” by Matchbox Twenty I think of when my daughter was still a baby, and I had the radio on, doing housework. I liked that song when it came out. Late 90′s..

  6. Today my sister and I were in some store and Jackie Wilson’s “That’s why I love you so” was playing … our Mom LOVED this guy…anything Motown…but especially Jackie Wilson ;-) Tingly …

Be nice..
