FMD: Shake It Off

2016, you've been a jerk. So for our last Friday Music Day of the year, we're kicking you out and sending the message that we're better off without you. To that end, I'm looking for the best "Shake It Off" songs: songs that help one cast off the old, the bad, the funk, and create a new, fresh, hopeful outlook.

There's an obvious choice here, as suggested by the title. And I do love me that song, but it just seems trivial once you get to the "my ex-man brought his new girlfriend" bit. So I'm going to make two other suggestions. Though neither is particularly "shake-y" they both work an effective reset.

First, the classic... "Take a sad song and make it better."

Second, a newer pick that might be a bit all-encompassing, but it builds so nicely:

Drop your suggestions and random lists if you're felling it.

John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, and Mitch Mitchell – Yer Blues

John Lennon was killed 35 years ago yesterday (we're more reactive around here).

If you want a tie in with yesterday's video, I guess both Lennon and Gallagher were pretty big assholes. Does that work?

Many thanks to the Twaynster for a great DJ week, and he only stepped on our toes once πŸ˜‰ . Seriously though, good stuff, though he forgot one day: Muesday.
