The happiest song in the world :)

Seeing as the "saddest song" thread is running long and a lot of us must be looking nervously at any exposed razor blades in the near vicinity while we rack our brains thinking of depressing songs, let's lighten the mood a bit. After all, it is summer (at least in the northern hemispehre) and there's plenty of good music for when you're more upbeat.

So anyway, some of my nominees:

Sunny Afternoon - The Kinks Temptation - NO Rudie Can't Fail - The Clash Twist and Shout - The Beatles If You Find Yourself Caught In Love - Belle and Sebastian Everyday I Write the Book - Elvis Costello

Absolutely Fabulous by PSB

most songs by the magic numbers

Pixies - Here Comes Your Man Pavement - Cut Your Hair Wilco - Heavy Metal Drummer New Pornographers - Mass Romantic

luckiest guy on the lower east side-magnetic fields

and ebony and ivory-PC and Mj:D

Here Comes the Sun - The Beatles

here comes your man - pixies there goes the fear - doves mr jones - counting crows

a few on first thought

"There Goes The Fear" Doves "These Are Days" 10,000 Maniacs "Good Day Sunshine" The Beatles "Here Comes The Sun" The Beatles "Good" Better Than Ezra "Out In The Street" Bruce Springsteen "Finally" CeCe Peniston "You Make Me Feel Mighty Real" Sylvester "Pride & Joy" Stevie Ray Vaughan

do you want to know a secret - beatles

Happy songs:

I Am Kloot- Proof Inspirals- She Comes In The Fall and Saturn 5. The Smiths (Oh Yes!)- Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before Elbow- Forget Myself Talking Heads- Road To Nowhere The Housemartins- Happy Hour

And pretty much everything by Madness and most things by Kaiser Chiefs.

Good call.

I'd like to throw in Rock and Roll by the Velvet Underground.

Regret

I forgot to mention. Even though I love Here Comes the Sun, I think Stacy's Mom by Fountains of Wayne is also a happy song.

here come the sun is good, but for me it would have to be some 70s disco crap. like locmotion.

ok let's all see "Muriel's Wedding"

cue "Dancing Queen" by ABBA!

OK, Regret is happy in its sound and lyrics. Now, I'm going to suggest something cute, but corny. The Hampsterdance song.

Not that I can understand what the singer is saying, but "The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth" by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is on repeat in my car lately. Really like that song

Also "Every Picture Tells a Story" by Rod the Mod

oh yes!!!

Oh no...that song seems to crop up a lot lately on the "muzak" system at work

Love Shack by the B52's is really happy. I think most of their songs are pretty happy in fact.

Everybody needs a busom for a pillow!

Happy hour by The Housemartins

A lot of the happy songs I like are far too cheesy to be mentioned on here without people takin the mick; So I'll just say; Anything that can be danced to in the silliest/cheesiest fashion just for the hell of it!!!!:D

Thanks to L.J. for the reminder, there's that one from Bill and Ted's excellent adventure....No idea what it's called or who it's by!?!

The 59th street bridge song (feeling groovy) by Simon and Garfunkel.

Never come down again by Miltown brothers.
