Happy Songs

[indra]

I have been listening to the Villa Elaine CD by Remy Zero the past few days and I notice how happy the final song, Goodbye Little World, makes me feel. It's just a very upbeat, optimistic song and I can't help but smile when I hear it. And it's not what I would call a gimmick or comedy song, it's a "real" song -- it's just such a happy song.

What songs do this for you?

the New Pornographers ouevre works quite well

and a lot of Ash's output is always very suited to these lovely summer days

Hmmmm... I'm just going to name a lot of bands who make me happy too:

The Shins
Bouncing Souls
Franz Ferdinand
Hot Hot Heat

Most anything by them puts me in the "happy happy, joy joy" mood

Holy shit I was going to start a similar thread.

Hell yeah, Ash are such a summery band, gawd love 'em.

R.E.M- Imitation of Life
Feeder - Just a day

Flaming Lips and The Polyphonic Spree have this effect on me too

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Trance music makes me happy. It's hard to listen to an entire DJ set and not feel happy and peppy afterwards.

"Sweet Georgia Brown" by the Dick Hyman Group and Howard Alden (off the Sweet and Lowdown soundtrack) and also "Mile End" by Pulp.

And anything by The Wiggles. Watching fucking childrens shows all morning does stuff to you.

 

[Bunbury]

Happy songs.........

 

[Popmartijn]

Beautiful Day by U2
Hey Ya! by OutKast

You won't feel depressed after hearing those two.
