Great suggestions....I may just have to increase my iTunes budget this month....
My "happy list" includes....
1) Moondance by Van Morrison (this song ALWAYS makes me feel sexy and alive, even when I don't have a love to go dancing with)
2) Be OK by Ingrid Michaelson (not THE most upbeat message, but it's a bouncy, hopeful song)
3) Uptight (Everything's All Right) by Stevie Wonder (GREAT message: I'm poor, but I have love, so everything is OK)
4) Good Morning Baltimore from Hairspray (just such a sunny song.)
5) Pussy Control by Prince (I can't *not* strut when I hear this song. I can't help cop that "Prince" attitude)
6) Zak and Sara by Ben Folds (the chorus is just so damn catchy....plus I have great memories attached to it)
7) Save a Horse, Ride a Cowbody by Big and Rich (I know not everyone digs country...I like the old stuff, and select few pieces of the new...this is one)
8) Loveshack by The B-52's (drunken karaoke, anyone?)
9) I've Got Friends in Low Places by Garth Brooks (well....I do!)
10) Fell In Love With A Girl by The White Stripes (I loved this song when I first heard it, and true love lasts a lifetime)
I don't know if all my choices are "happy songs" per se, but they make me happy. Plus, many of them have great memories attached to them. So they're my "happy songs"
