Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy! Songs!

[The Hypno-Toad]

I've been a bit depressing on here lately and lets face it the news at the moment is pretty bad so I thought I'd make a thread out of your favourite happy songs, yeh!!!

No depressing aongs allowed, only songs that make you smile for whatever reason but no intentionaly funny stuff (so no Joe Dolce, Jasper Carrott, Monty Python etc.). Just songs that make you feel happy, c'mon you know you want to.

So off we jolly well go pop pickers!

Bloody hell, steady on...

What about THIS...?

David Hasselhoff - Hooked on a Feeling


Edit...

I didn't type that last line. What's going on here? Whoever did it ruined my surprise attack. We didn't win wars by doing this...

You did say Happy Happy Joy Joy

[Egg Chaser]

Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry Be Happy

[RemainAllHoof]

Have to be careful when picking songs because some lyrics don't mean good things despite sounding good and you end up feeling angry in a cathartic way which isn't really a happy emotion. It's similar to playing The Police's stalker song in a wedding.

[Animal]

Kanye West - Touch The Sky

[andy400]

Rare Earth - 'Celebrate'

I've had over a thousand works published, and I've never yet written anything happy.

I guess I'm just a miserable sod.

Latest CD released today... wanna' hear how happy it is? No, guess not.

I can manage a smile mind.

PS... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E49hO1fZBRw <Happy if the sax player had been in tune! (Marimba player def happy though)
