I just posted a reply for the "saddest song ever" thinking of them brought me down. i need a little pepping up now. help me think of the happiest songs ever. not necessarily inspirational, but if thats your thing...whatever, but peppy, upbeat, something you just can't help smiling while you sing or dancing while you work

here what i think

1 Ordinary Day - Great Big Sea
2 Great song of Indifference - Sir Bob Geldof
3 almost anything by the Dust Rhinos (local Winnipeg Celtic rock Band. if you have never heard of them check out their web site, always a party)
4 karn evil #9 -Emerson Lake and Palmer
5 Hello Horray - alice cooper

    Uncle Kracker ~ Good to be Me! Love that tune!

    Come on Eileen always makes me think of my younger days when I was out one night at a club and asked to dance by this monster of a man (bulging muscles, etc is what I mean by monster) probably 6'6" tall, that was the song that was playing and we got into the middle of the dance floor and he literally started aerobicizing and flailing around in the middle of the many MANY people out there dancing... it still makes me laugh when I hear it! :)

    YES! The Muppets... classic!

    I agree with a lot of these, especially the ABBA stuff, but I just love me some Bobby McFerrin, Don't Worry Be Happy!!!

    And anything by They Might Be Giants, especially when sung by my 10 year-old nephew... that kid cracks me up!

    My all time favorite "happy place" song... Paradise By the Dashboard Lights, by Meatloaf... I've had more fun with that song than any other in the world!!! Seriously...

    I may feel a bit out of place here, with regard to the genre I chose and it might even be more of a motivational song but "Safe Home" by Anthrax is a happy song for me. >:D

    (((Uncle Kracker - Smile )))
    You make me smile like the sun, fall out of bed
    Sing like bird, dizzy in my head
    Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night

    You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe
    Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
    Just the thought of you can drive me wild
    Oh, you make me smile
    (Oh, you make me smile)
    Oh, you make me smile
    (Oh, you make me smile)
    Oh, you make me smile
