Music that makes you feel cool

Groovy funk and soul songs usually make me feel really cool like say:

Bill Withers - Who is he and what is he to you?
Marlena Shaw - Woman of the ghetto
George Mcrae - I get lifted

Portishead - Glorybox

Aaron Neville - Hercules
Outkast - Spottieottiedopaliscious

cosign withers, mccrae and neville

oh and return of the mack obvs

Return of the Mack will never be uncool. I went to youtube and searched for “return of the mack dance” and it proved my point; dance classes with middle-aged, overweight women, drunk white girls, a quinceañera party, dadbod dork alone in his room dancing to this song all looked cool doing it.

I was relistening to the classic three early albums by Siouxsie and the Banshees (Kaleidoscope - Juju - Kiss in the Dreamhouse), I think it's a very cool brand of post-punk/gothic. I don't really know which song to highlight though.

Euro free improv like The Thing

my cool post-punk/goth song is Red Lorry Yellow Lorry - Talk About The Weather

I walked into a bar the other day and return of the Mack was playing. Apparently the bar paid some guys to do a playlist - good taste !

I beseech anyone to add Construcao by Chico Buarque to their 'walking down the street' playlist.
