Spring, Hearts Aflutter! Classic Western Hits (101–110)
Good FeelingFlo Rida
A track by American rapper Flo Rida included on his fourth album, Wild Ones.
It samples the vocals from Etta James’s 1962 song “Something’s Got a Hold on Me.” The song reached No.
3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
April In ParisFrank Sinatra
A standard number covered by numerous artists.
The renowned performance by the Count Basie Orchestra is especially famous, but Frank Sinatra’s cover is also highly recommended.
How about treating yourself once in a while to a luxurious spring afternoon, wrapped in Sinatra’s resonant voice as he sings over a romantic arrangement?
CenterfieldJohn Fogerty
John Fogerty is an American musician.
He began his music career around 1959, forming bands and more.
He’s highly regarded both as a singer and as a guitarist.
His song “Centerfield” unfolds on the stage of a baseball stadium.
The protagonist of the song is fired up, ready to step up to the plate and knock one out with a single swing.
Don’t the lyrics, packed with that determination, fill your heart with motivation too? It’s an uplifting anthem that breathes a strong “I’m going to do it” spirit into you.
Walking On SunshineKatrina and The Waves
A song written by Kimberly Rew, the founder of Katrina & The Waves.
It sings about pure joy.
It was released as a single in 1985.
The track has been featured in many films, including the 2000 movie American Psycho.
The Edge Of GloryLady Gaga
A power ballad with a heavy club beat that Lady Gaga dedicated to her late grandfather.
It was inspired by Sylvester Stallone’s hit film Rocky.
The saxophone is performed by Clarence Clemons, known from Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band.

FlowersLauren Spencer Smith
Lauren Spencer Smith is a Canadian singer-songwriter who rose to popularity after appearing on season 18 of the hit audition show American Idol.
She’s been consistently dropping hit tunes, so many of you may already know her.
Among her works, the song I especially recommend for spring is Flowers.
Centered on the theme of regret in relationships, it’s a perfect fit for spring, a season often marked by farewells.
SmileLily Allen
Lily Allen’s debut single, released in 2006.
It became an instant hit in her home country of England, and she performed the song on television appearances such as Top of the Pops and Saturday Night Live, as well as at other promotional events.
The organ part was sampled from “Free Soul” by The Soul Brothers, a reggae group from the 1960s.
