What songs make you happy?

I was just running some errands and listening to some music I haven't listened to for a long time - Grateful Dead/American Beauty. I totally forgot just how happy the song Sugar Magnolia makes me. I don't know what it is. It just makes me want to get up and do a little happy hippy dance and puts me in a great mood.

What songs make you love the world?

James Brown - 'I feel good' of course.

the only ones - another girl, another planet
it doesn't even have happy lyrics, really, but it just cheers me up immensely for some reason

Grateful Dead "Touch of Gray"
Phish "Run Like an Antelope"
Umphrey's McGee "Plunger"

and of course...

God Street Wine "Driving West"

No comment!

IPJ: Infinite good karma!! Although I don't listen to them nearly as much as I used to, I'm an incurable deadhead. I was at work the other week in a foul mood, listening to a Red Rocks show from '78. They got around to Sugar Magnolia and it just made so, so happy. I quite typing, stared out the window, and did a little chair dance with a silly grin on my face.

DW: I was going to say GSW's Nightingale. Phish is also fantastic, though Harry Hood is the one that does it for me. "You can feel good, good about Hood".

"...Sweet blossom come on, under the willow, we can have high times if you’ll abide. We can discover the wonders of nature, rolling in the rushes down by the riverside."

Off the top of my head:

'We're Here for a Good Time (Not a Long Time)' Trooper
'Black Betty' Ram Jam

So many others...must think about it some more...

Happy, even if they are not happy songs... I guess cause they just hit the spot inside.

Stereophonics - Dakota
Oasis - Slide Away
Damien Rice - Cannonball
Smokey Robinson - Tears of a clown

Mr. Jones - Counting Crows
500 Miles - The Proclaimers

Just a couple that made me happy this week!

The Clash - Guns of Brixton
Dr Dre - Forgot About Dre

Good choices.

(erm scottish band) - Alive and Kicking

Excellent choices, both JE and Inflatablewoman (500 Miles and Tears of a Clown)!

Dirty Water by the Standells (a bit obvious, no?)
