What would you all suggest for this topic? For me, it would have to be Mr Blue Sky by ELO but Don't Stop Me Now by Queen comes a very close second. I am an eternal sour puss, apparently (thanks family  ) but even I can't help feeling happy when they come on.  |

Hmm, tough one. 'Lovecats' by The Cure.
'Just cant get enough' by Depeche Mode.
they have to be two of my happy songs atleast.
I'll write down more once I can think of any!

Actually, they're both a lie, the happiest song I've heard so far is the Portugese entry for Eurovision!

Spinning by Jack's Mannequin
Always Be by Jimmy Eat World [even though the lyrics aren't that happy really!]

They all do the trick for me ;D

Proper happy stuff! And the other choices are good, though my happy Doobies songs are probably The Doctor, with Rockin' Down the Highway coming a close second ;D |

I know it might be a bit of a cliche, but Long Train Running is a wonderful happy song for me too.

Take That - Shine Just recently, especially since I saw them at Wembley, this is definitely a happy song for me - even if it has been used to advertise Morrisons! Then again, it's not the only time something I like has been associated with Morrisons... |
