After all the 'old-time' music we're had lately, maybe time for something more recent. Though on closer inspection this track from 2011 is anything, or mostly everything, but new. 
It's a surprising mish-mash of styles from American rapper Flo Rida (aka Tramar Lacel Dillard). An original composition called 'Good Feeling' - which samples the Avicii track 'Levels' which had in turn sampled Etta James's 'Something's Got a Hold On Me' from1962 ! As a result everyone gets a writing credit (deep breath: Etta James, Leroy Kirkland and Pearl Woods plus Avicii and Arash Pournouri along with Flo Rida, Dr. Luke, Cirkut and finally Breyan Isaac. As Christina Aguilera had recorded a version of 'Something's Got a Hold On Me ' in 2010, I'm thinking this song was certainly in vogue around this time. 
All that said (and there's plenty of lyrics that say plenty more) here's a 'Good Feeling' on a Friday


Recognise this  The TV ad currently running for 'Heycar' (free plug here) features this track. That's where I came across it.
