Sometimes, if it's been a particularly rough day or you're just in a funk, blasting a great tune and singing at the top of your lungs can really relieve the tension. So roll up your windows, turn on your iPod, and just let it all out! Here are 10 of my favorite songs to sing at the top of my lungs:
"Since You Been Gone" — Kelly Clarkson
"Free Falling" — Tom Petty
"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" — Cyndi Lauper
"Don't Stop Believing" — Journey
"Holiday" — Madonna
"Buddy Holly" — Weezer
"Semi-Charmed Life" — Third Eye Blind
"You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" — Righteous Brothers
"1999" — Prince
"Strong Enough" — Sheryl Crow
I know you have your own, so add them below!

Liberty: Last night I saw Americans who have been hiding in the shadows of apathy or cynicism come out and get excited about the future of their country. Americans who showed that they can wait in a line for hours, just to participate in a celebration of their power to make a difference.
Barack Obama's speech stressed individual and mutual responsibility.

What a night! While Liberty and I hashed out the finer points of Barack's speech over dinner, one thing was clear: the setting was pretty unbelievable (for reasons we'll get into soon.) Wading through the mile-long line to the Mile High Stadium, we scored front and center seats — so front and center, we were right under the Oprah, Kanye, Angela Basset, Gayle King, Forrest Whittaker suite.
Shawn Johnson leading the pledge and Jennifer Hudson singing the national anthem was just the beginning.
