Magic is everywhere. You can spend magical moments with your loved ones. You can visit Mickey at the Magic Kingdom. You can give everything your “magic touch.” You can dress up like a fairy, wave your magic wand, and say Bibbity-Bobbity-Boo!” You can perform amazing magic tricks to amuse and amaze your friends. You can ride the roller coasters at Magic Mountain. You can watch fabulous YouTube footage of the great Magic Johnson.
The moonlight is magical. Sunsets are magical. Rainbows too. The ocean is magical. Mountains are magical. Old dusty books and faded photographs? Magical indeed. A wink and a smile. Holding hands. A kiss. All magical.

I love this list of songs! What a great way to group them together. It surely was Magic 🙂
Thanks for stopping by! Glad you enjoyed the music 🙂
OMG I completely forgot about Magic by B.o.B. and Rivers Cuomo! That was my jam when it came out! I feel like Disney songs are all magical for me.
Haha! I totally love the theme for this post! Great choices 🙂
I love abracadabra! I haven’t heard that song in ages!
So many great songs on this list. I love This Magic Moment!
Ooh I love this list! I never knew how many songs had the word magic in them! You always have the best music posts!
I’d have to go with either “Magic Bus” or the Colbie Caillat song – both good for completely different reasons! I also love this idea for a post – I have so many carefully curated playlists, but none by theme like this!
Omg there are so many I have forgotten about!! I dont think I can even add one to the list! It’s pretty comprehensive!
I don’t think I realized how many songs there are about magic! Great playlist 🙂
The freaking WHO, man. YESSSS!
This post is a great musical round-up! I didn’t know I liked so many of these songs until I saw them all in one place. Love that 80s music!
Oh we are music lovers in my house… just love this list!
I love ” I put a spell on you”! One of my favorite movies ever:)
