Ta very much for all your happy songs last week - just shy of 550 different recommendations. Spending a weekend listening exclusively to the most uplifting music ever made does wonders for the spirits. I recommend it, readers.

As part of this column's concerted effort to pretend that winter isn't happening, this week's theme is fire. Like small children and pyromaniacs, songwriters love it when things burn. Any reference to fire, literal or metaphorical, is allowed, from Light My Fire to Disco Inferno to Eternal Flame. One exception: no cigarettes, joints, cigars etc because we devoted a playlist to smoking back in December. Other than that, burn, babies, burn.

Deadline is 6pm Monday.
