When I started reading this WWD interview with Blake Lively, I assumed the thing I would find most fascinating was Karl Lagerfeld’s brilliant decision to photograph her from the side so the focus would be on the Chanel Mademoiselle handbag she was modeling and not her famous womanly curves. But then I got to the third paragraph and read this: “I’ve just always believed you should put a lot of positive out there… When I have bad days, I just eat lots of chocolate ice cream and dance to the Lion King soundtrack. It’s really odd, but it’s true.” Shockingly, the writer, who joined Lively at a dinner hosted by Lagerfeld, did not follow up: Is she talking interpretative dance to “Circle of Life” or simply goofing off to ”Hakuna Matata”?
What’s your go-to pick me up song? I’m partial to the Cure’s “Mint Car” myself.
She is very pretty. My pick-me-up song is Concrete & Clay.
u2 beautiful day! can pick me up anytime i’m feelin down
Anything by The Devil’s Anvil.
My go to feel better song is “Life Goes On” by LeAnn Rimes or Van Halen’s “Right Now.” Kind of depends.
Duran Duran seems to get me out of a rut.
Specifically “Girls on Film” and “The Reflex” by them.
My pick-me-up song is “Alright with Me” by Kris Allen!
As overplayed as it is, I can never NOT singalong to “Bad Romance” by Lady Gaga.
float on by modest mouse
Excellent choice!!
YES!!! I listen to that and Dashboard back to back and can’t help but feel better.
I have a few, actually. Sometimes when yelling at the world makes me feel better I’ll choose something by The Pixies or Patti Smith. Other times it’s the “O Lucky Man” soundtrack by Alan Price, “Friday I’m in Love” by The Cure, “Wake Up” by Arcade Fire, etc. Lately I’ve noticed that what cheers me up the most is watching an Arrested Development episode.
“Till the End of the Day” by the Kinks.
Oh, and not really a song, rather a score, but “Duel of the Fates” from Star Wars ALWAYS gets me pumped.
Sushi or Kangaroo by Kyle Andrews or Electric Feel by MGMT
Gosh, I wish I would have had that information eailrer!
Normally, “Raider of the Arks” theme.
Lately- The “Dogs Days of Summer” -yes, it is getting overplayed and dang it sounds great LOUD! You can’t help but dance and jump around.
I’m with Blake Lively! Jamming to the Lion King dnace session, well the movie did come out when we were kids, so animal impersonations and silly moves to the tune of The Circle of Life is not unheard of! I also enjoy The Beatle’s 8 Days A Week,Prince’s Kiss how can you NOT clap/smack along?
Yeah, basically anything by Prince works for me.
That makes her a mystery? I have a playlist on my ipod devoted to songs I’d dance around to. Sounds like she’s got self-awareness enough to know what she enjoys and what is helpful for living her daily life, eh?
