    I could give you ten-thousand jpop songs. How about this . . . anything from Soleil works. Somewhat unknown.

    This song can make me happy if I focus on wanting to be happy

    Ooh, there are a few really good candidates, but the first and foremost has to be this classic bit of candy-coated auditory joy

    A few more candidates:






    This one's a kick-ass rock song, and it's got yodeling. How could it get any more fun than that? :supergrin:

    And some great musical movie moments with happy songs:

    Tequila from Baby Driver


    I ain't got no home from Lost Boys


    And not exactly happy songs per se, but the way they create the tone and rhythm for the scenes makes me very happy:

    Ooh, that's a classic! But this live version is my favorite. How do you cram a 6:40 long song into a 4:30 TV spot? You play the hell out of it, that's how!

    That's actually my favorite version too, I was just too lazy to look it up. Thanks for doing the legwork!

    Lol, if you play the sped-up version at .75 speed, it sounds just about right.

    I think my favorite Key & Peele sketch is this one involving Bobby McFerrin and Michael Winslow

    Surprisingly no one has mentioned this.

    This one is more adult, but a fun little tune by Billie Mummies, band.
    Will Robinson on the original Lost in Space, and Lenir on Babylon 5.


    Same band, but a new holiday classic.

    Midnight at the Oasis by maria Muldaur:


    School Daze by Stanley Clarke with George Duke:


    Technically a pretty melancholy song lyrically, but the music just fills me with joy and nostalgia:

    And a one-hit of Frampton:

    Because every day should be the greatest day you've ever had:

    Because Bob Marley, duh:

    Because I like this one, and my kid used to giggle and dance like crazy to it:

    I think the Pharrell Williams Happy song is the happiest.

    Been watching a lot of Ghibli movies with my toddler and the opening theme to My Neighbor Totoro has to be a major contender:
