There's no beating this:
The Flaming Lips - Race For The Prize
Although that's not the happiest song ever written. This is:
Deerhoof - Frenzied Handsome, Hello
As is pretty much anything Deerhoof have ever written.
I'm so sorry that my avatar doesn't appear fully in the shot, but the cat was threatening the photographer.A few tracks spring to mind.
- Fleetwood Mac's Don't Stop
,
- Electric Light Orchestra's Mr. Blue Sky
,
- Rob Dougan's Will You Follow Me?
,
- Sting's Seven Days
and finally;
- Marillion's The Uninvited Guest
All This Time
by the Heartless Bastards at least makes me happy. It's my favourite song, by my favourite band, and I think it's a pretty happy song.
Ooh La La
by Galia Arad. The album version's better, but it's not posted on You Tube, so an acoustic version it is. Regardless, it's one of the sweetest songs I've ever heard.
Best Thing I Found
by Rabbit!. They're not a great band, but they do have a few really happy songs.
Electric Twist
by A Fine Frenzy. A really wonderful song, with one of my favourite lines ever: "The touch of your lips is a shock not a kiss."
Anyone who doesn't smile at Don't Leave Me
by Regina Spektor has no soul.
Stars
by Au Revoir Simone.
Can't go wrong with Short Skirt Long Jacket
by Cake.
Camera Obscura has no shortage of songs to make one smile, but I think I'll go with Honey In the Sun
.
The Story
by Donora.
Family
by Catey Shaw is really sweet. If it doesn't make you want to call your mom (assuming you don't live with her), then you're a terrible child.
Heels On Fire
by Sargasso Trio, especially with the goofy video.
A Hundred Sinners
by the Feeling.
It's Cool To Love Your Family
by Feist.
Modesty
by the Fix. It amuses me.
Santo Domingo
by Jon Fratelli. The Fratellis have a shit-ton of happy-making songs, too.
Doing It Right
by the Go! Team.
Be OK
by Ingrid Michaelson.
Coin Laundry
by Lisa Mitchell.
Guitar Hero Hero
by MC Lars.
Boats
by We Landed On the Moon!. Especially with the adorable video.
I should probably stop now. I could go for much longer, but it's getting late. And I've already listed 20 songs.
X-Men X-Pert, my blog where I talk about X-Men comics.Hell yeah. I actually have a playlist with 75 of these songs, which I like to put on shuffle.
Some picks:
Village People - Go West
Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass - Spanish Flea
Dschinghis Khan - Moskau
George Baker Selection - Una Paloma Blanca
Kool & The Gang - Celebration
Jean-Jacques Perrey - Brazilian Flower
The Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)

Exactly What It Says on the Tin folks. Upbeat, positive, and all around good music that will brighten your day when heard, if only just a little.
Can be from any genre, and from any media source. Anything from chiptune to pop to metal, as long as it's something you enjoy.
