–Queen Latifah’s “California Dreaming”

–Dolly Parton’s “Shine”

–Buckwheat Zydeco’s “When the Levee Breaks” (Led Zepplin’s version was a cover too. The original was by Memphis Minnie in 1929, about the great Mississippi flood of 1927.)

–Cake’s “I will survive”

–Fatboy Slim’s “The Joker”

–k.d. Lang’s “Hallelujah”

–Wolfgang Press’ “Mamma Told Me Not Too Come” (and the version by Tom Jones and Stereophonics is good too)

–Janis Joplin’s “Summertime”

–Israel Kamakawiwo’ole’s “Somewhere over the Rainbow”

–Plastelina Mosh’s “Viva Las Vegas”

And my absolute favorite, Yannick’s “Ces Soirées La (December 1963 [Oh, What a Night!])” He’s African, the song is in French, and the beat is pure joy:
