It So Fickle #9 Happy Songs

[Ody]

Ok, I am compiling a CD of the HAPPIEST songs ever. This means that either the mood of the song, or the lyrics (or end) of the song are particularly happy, uplifting or encouraging.

Please give me your suggestions. They must be in by Oct. 26th. This is a Halloween present for someone.

Thanks!

From U2 I have tentatively

Beautiful Day
The Sweetest Thing

*edit

But please give me suggestions from any band

henning ohlenbusch--soup of the moment

ash--shining light

NOT rem--shiny happy people

the beatles--here comes the sun

i'd add u2--always





i don't listen to much happy music

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

[Angela Harlem]

rem - sidewinder always cheers me up
the tenants - you shit me to tears seriously, its funny and everyone would laugh if they heard it


I cant think of any happy cheery music...

 

[beegee]

rem - sidewinder always cheers me up

we?ve got to moogie moogie move on this one ... stand is pretty happy too.

 

[Angela Harlem]

have you seen the video clip to stand? what a bunch of 80's hillbillies! they are so daggy its tres brilliance!

 

[Salome]

the Stand video is not daggy, it's nouveau vague

 

[Angela Harlem]

they are a bunch of dags holding their hands on their knees turning in all directions of the compass.
they have big hair and 80's attire.

no nouveau vague there.

 

[Salome]

ok, you're right

I just wanted to disagree with you for once though

 

[IWasBored]

it was raining today, and i was trying to list as many good rainy songs as i could, and i realised that the beatles--rain is one of the sunniest happy songs i could think of. so how about that one?

 

[meegannie]

Wait a second....you give people Halloween presents?



my new friend Ody

 

[JessicaAnn]

Shine by Carbon Leaf

 

[Ody]

Thanks everyone for suggestions.


Zoney- i forgive you for "ruining" the thread. It seems to be doing ok anyway.

Angie and Slomey- hihihi

Meggie- the story on the halloween present is this. A girl I know told me that she always has very bad days on Halloween for some reason, so I thought I would make her a happiest songs CD. At least it seemed like a good idea at the time. If nothing else, I'm getting exposed to new music.

I was just feeling really depressed and decided to listen to the Darkness and now I feel 10,000 times better.

 

[Laura M]

The Darkness crack me up whenever I go out we hear it and they turn the sound down and everyone sings along

and when they sing "yooooooooooou" you can hear all these belfast accents
