  • Leaving On a Jet Plane: You might be surprised to find this Peter, Paul and Mary staple on a John Denver album. But his rendition is surprisingly heartfelt, perfect for that "adulting is hard" moment when you just wanna jet off somewhere tropical.
  • Sunshine on My Shoulders: Okay, yes, this is another "hit," but there's a reason it's a classic. It's the musical equivalent of a warm summer breeze, guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Pro Tip: Avoid getting into arguments about the deeper meaning of "Leaving On a Jet Plane" at parties. Trust me, it's a conversation killer faster than a rogue blizzard.
