The happiest song you've ever heard...
 

Contrary to the "Saddest song" thread that I created a while ago, post the ones that make you happy the most.

Mine could be:

Pavement's - "Gold Soundz"
Broken Social Scene - "7.4/Shoreline"
Cocteau Twins - "Aika Guinea"

I'm in a good mood today.

Kool Thing
SexyBack
Just Like heaven
Dum Dum-The Vaselines

Sexy Back is a happy song? More of a sleazy song, I guess.

Yes, but it makes me happy.

Word.

Altered Images - Pinky Blue

"Hey Sandy" - Polaris ... it's the theme song to "The Adventures of Pete and Pete", if you remember that show.

Carrot Rope and the second part of Teenage Riot.

The Flaming Lips - She Don't Use Jelly
Number Girl - Pixiedu
Yo La Tengo - Tom Courtenay

How can I forget? I love that show.

Louie louie - kingsmen's version
Do wah diddy - Manfred Mann
Lotsa sixties' pop.

whoa whoa whoa.

someone else likes number girl?

i have all their cd's, from school girl bye bye to the rarities double disc thing...

i also have all the zazen boys stuff.

damn.

they are pretty easily the best "rock" band ever...

I only have School Girl Distortional Addict. I also have Zazen Boy II but haven't really gotten into it.

"...you're the kind of girl I like,
because you're empty and I'm empty"

can't get that song out of my head today :)

school girl distortional addict is amazing. you can't go wrong with number girl.

zazen ii is my least favorite.. get himitsu girl's top secret ep or the first zazen (zazen iii is also real good but the weirdest).

sex machine - james brown
i want you back - jackson 5
who could win a rabbit - animal collective
gold soundz - pavement
sunday - sonic youth

quite a lot of sonic youth actually but i cant name them all here.

Sugar Kane is a pretty happy song too.

Ahh! Thanks for reminding me about this show, I remember watching it when I was really young. I wikid it and there's a whole shit load of awesome guest stars. Gordon Gano, Mike Stipe and Iggy Pop to name a few. Oh yes, and Richard Edson!

Don't forget Steve Buschemi.

They recently released the first couple seasons on dvd if you want to go looking for it. I watched the whole thing all the way through a few times. Still the greatest kids show ever.

'Range Life' by Pavement could put a smile on anybody's face.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Storm

Tweet - (Oops) Oh My

Friday I'm In Love by The Cure.
The Crystals: Then He Kissed Me.
Helen Shapiro: Walking Back To Happiness.
Jesus And Mary Chain: Head On.
Modern Lovers: Roadrunner.
My Bloody Valentine: Sunny Sundae Smile.

Animal Collective - Winter's Love

Carrot Rope by Pavement, always makes me smile.

Grandaddy-The Nature Anthem
Beach Boys-Sloop John B.

Velvet Underground - who loves the sun
In spite of the depressive lyrics to song makes me happy.
Same goes for The Mountain Goats - Cold milk bottle

You know, finding a song inherently happy seems to me for some reason harder than finding a song inherently sad.
But, I think this one goes to "Sugar Kane", most definitely.

Don't Die On My Doorstep by Felt (the lyrics are hilariously mean when backed by such upbeat music)
Slipping (into something) by the Feelies
Enchanted Pork Fist by Meat Puppets

i don't think it's actually what you are looking for, but when i feel happy, for some reason i get the feeling i want to listen to my bloody valentine.

Anything by the Ohio Players. That's my answer right now. I'm listening to Let's Do It (Interpolated with "Let's Love") as I write this.

TWIST AND SHOUT - Beatles

also, all of the polyphonic spree songs.

Polyphonic Spree make my teeth hurt.

Most of their songs are monophonic. Just sayin'.

Wah Wah by George Harrison sounds like an explosion of celebratory love and life and the whole bit.
a happy song if i ever heard one.

polyphonic spree makes me shudder.

all i can think is that either a) 27 of the 62 members are going to overdose on lsd at the same time or b) they will commit mass suicide at pitchfork intonation fest (or whatever it's called).

Man, I feel your pain!

i love that song.
mine is 'the well' by Smog

I remember being drunk strolling down a road to catch a bus, wheeling an empty shopping trolly singing this song. However I forgot a lot of the words.

Cut Yr Hair + Range Life (and a whole ton of others) by Pavement
A surprising amount of Youf'.
Fire Eye'd Boy + Handjobs for the Holidays + It's All Gonna Break- Broken Social Scene (The new album seems to be so much happier... a few songs, no... but compared to You Forgot It...)

It;s wierd... one of the most upbeat and happy songs I can think of makes me feel sick with sadness... (partially because of personal stuff, though...)
That song is.. The Cure's Close To Me.
