Katrina & The Waves - Walking On Sunshine

Walking on Sunshine is the song you typically expect when you're thinking of happy summer vibes. Katrina's lyrics are meant to create a feeling of never ending joy as she continually strolls through her video repeating over and over how she walks on sunshine because she is in love. The use of the repetitive lyrics, "walking on sunshine," make the listener continuously feel as though they are too. The very upbeat and repetitive rhythm stays within the mind of the listener, which then becomes easily associated with whatever is going on in your life when you first listen to it. This song tends to feel more like a song that is able to relate to that one happy moment you shared with someone or just a moment in which this associated to, because one has to have a specificity of emotion to be able to listen to this preppy song. I personally believe, therefore, this song is able to illicit the feeling of happiness through recognition of memory.
