You can see my vote in my signature. What do you think is the happiest song ever?

Jadey · 12-30-2003, 12:39 AM

How about MMMMBop by Hanson. That song was SOOO annoyingly happy!

paddyjoe · 12-30-2003, 04:56 AM

I think that song Walking on Sunshine by somebody and the somebodies(?). Catchy melody.

teshadoh · 12-30-2003, 06:30 AM

Walking on Sunshine was by Katrina & The Waves....

But for something artsier - 'Beautiful Love' by Julian Cope from about 10 years ago.

quadro2000 · 12-30-2003, 07:56 AM

Maybe "Life Is A Highway" by Tom Cochrane?

jokeR`afk · 12-30-2003, 09:15 AM

"Just Can't Get Enough" by Depeche Mode was up there!

rockzilla · 12-30-2003, 11:51 AM

It's impossible to be sad and listen to "Hey Ya!" by Outkast at the same time.

tritium · 12-30-2003, 10:42 PM

Hey Ya! *is* a great song.

The irony being is that the lyrics to "Hey Ya" are kinda sad, talking about a relationship ending.

drown_with_me · 01-02-2004, 07:07 AM

The Polyphonic Spree's "Reach for the Sun" song that is also used in the Volkswagon commercial.

Gawwdamn that song just radiates glee!

I love that song. But another one that always puts me in a good mood is "Are You Gonna be my Girl?" by Jet. It's just one of those songs that when you listen to it you just can't sit still. Something like your leg or head is bouncing to the beat...if you know what I mean.

sherpahigh · 01-03-2004, 04:29 PM

"Island in the Sun" by Weezer

KWSN · 01-03-2004, 04:52 PM

not the entire song but the little jaunty intro to "Mucus Shifters" by The Apex Theory gives me fond thoughts of little men bouncing around on pogo sticks and grinning very widely... so I'd say that would have to be it.

Stare At The Sun · 01-03-2004, 06:53 PM

Uh, Girl is beautiful- Andrew WK, song always makes me pretty happy.

anleja · 01-03-2004, 07:46 PM

"The Good Life" by Cracker is pretty happy.

How about some Ren & Stimpy "Happy Happy Joy Joy"?

Tophat665 · 01-03-2004, 08:44 PM

Run Like an Antelope, Phish.

burnhm · 01-03-2004, 09:04 PM

Although the lyrics themselves aren't that happy, the music and mood to Sparkle by Phish always puts a smile on my face. Also, the afforementioned Hey Ya! is always fun to listen to.

But I think obviously the #1 happy song would be Little Less Conversation by Elvis, can't sit stilld uring that one

tritium · 01-03-2004, 10:30 PM

Rapper's Delight - Sugar Hill Gang...

Mantus · 01-03-2004, 11:58 PM

Goove is in the Heart by Dee-Lite takes top honors.

Today by Smashing Pumpkins comes a close second.

Cheers

RemyLebeau97 · 01-04-2004, 02:39 AM

"3 little birds" Bob Marley

NbCal · 01-04-2004, 03:34 AM

"Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bobby Mcferri, of course.

Strange Famous · 01-04-2004, 03:49 AM

Eazy E has a lot of tracks that make me smile. Also Ludacris.

Derwood · 01-04-2004, 06:39 AM

"So Happy Together" by the Turtles

Xiangsu · 01-04-2004, 07:36 AM

Yellow Ledbetter by Pearl Jam always makes me happy.

Begora21 · 01-04-2004, 10:58 AM

Hotel Yorba by the White Stripes makes me happy (prob not the <i>happiest</i> song ....

chiefslappajo · 01-05-2004, 09:19 AM

"Happy Trails to You," by Roy Rogers and Dale Evans.

perripken · 01-05-2004, 09:27 AM

"If you're happy and you know it" always did it for me!

gnort · 01-05-2004, 10:42 AM

The "Happy Happy, Joy Joy song" from Ren and Stimpy

also "Happy Boys and Girls" by Aqua

01-05-2004, 12:31 PM

I can think of a number of electronic (funky house/trance) tracks that perk me up and get me movin with a smile on my face....zipper track- needle damage, many from ATB- let's see- one that really sticks out in my mind is Don't Wanna Stop (ATB) It's just beautiful and moving

31Friction · 01-05-2004, 05:02 PM

grassygnoll · 01-06-2004, 08:40 PM

It has everything. Happy music; sad sad lyrics!

I laughed, I cried, It was better than cats.

wilbjammin · 01-06-2004, 09:02 PM

"Shifting Skin" - ON

Something about Ken Andrews in this song. Just so hopeful. You get to feel like there's nothing wrong, no matter how bad life has been.

mrbuck12000 · 01-06-2004, 10:13 PM

any dead kennedy song.....

hahahaaa!!!

nut_runner · 01-07-2004, 01:22 PM

"Dreams" by Van Halen is the happiest / most uplifting song for me.

jumpingbeans · 01-10-2004, 07:39 AM

I can see clearly now the rain is Gone

gallopingwanker · 01-10-2004, 08:54 AM

probably anything in the style of happy hardcore

Yalaynia · 01-10-2004, 03:56 PM

Wierd Al Yankovic - Trigger Happy and, The Night Santa Went Crazy
