Sure cure for the blues
Sing a classic funk tune at the top of your lungs.
It is impossible to be miserable while belting the Commodores' "Brick House" with all the gutbucket growl you can muster. (Yes, the Caucasians in the room can do this too. Just give them a little extra space, so they don't hurt anyone.)
No human being can sing lines like "She's migh-tay migh-tay, just lettin' it all hang out" and "She knows she's built and knows how to please — sho'nuff could knock a strong man to his knees" with getting at least a little bit happy.
Go ahead. You'll see. Shake it down. Shake it down now.
P.S. If old Stax numbers are more your flavor, "Soul Man" by Sam and Dave works almost as well.

SwanShadow was randomly pounding the keyboard at 12:45 AM
4 insisted on sticking two cents in:
For me, it's the late Rick James' "Super Freak":
She's a very kinky girl....
The kind you don't take home to mother....
She will never let your spirits down....
Once you get her off the street...

But you've gotta get to "She's super-freakin', YOW!" for it to really work. It's the "YOW!" that does it.
RE: YOW.
Unfortunately my mom likes that song, too and--for some reason--when Rick shouts out "Yow!" I picture my mom yelling, too. Sends me into a spasm of laughter ;-)
Joel, there are two concepts that should never appear together in the same thought: "Mom" and "Super Freak." ;^)
