Welcome to Chillers, the ongoing series where we take a look at songs that give me goosebumps. Bi-weekly posting will be done on WordPress with a cross-post to Bluesky.

Mostly seen these days as a meme cameo from King of the Hill, at least from where I stand, Chuck Mangione’s 1977 hit “Feels So Good” is so much more than its cultural punchline reputation. The entire album is a genre-spanning journey—jazz fusion, Latin samba, soft rock, salsa touches, and warm late-70s smoothness—held together by Mangione’s unmistakable, soaring flugelhorn tone.

The titular track in particular is a masterpiece of mood. It breezes, swells, and dances its way straight into your bloodstream, that perfect blend of rhythm and melody that seems to naturally sync with your heartbeat. You feel this song before you even think about it. Its chart success backs that up too: a double-platinum record and a #6 spot on Billboard’s year-end charts.

It’s bright. It’s warm. It’s effortlessly cool.

And above all—it simply feels so good.
