Happiness!

What are those tunes that you can always put on at anytime and they immediately make you feel happy or give you a lift? They can be guilty pleasures or nostalgic tunes. Post 'em. Heres a couple to start it off.

OK the song title is an obvious giveaway but there is so much going on in this song and all I can think about is perpetual sunshine and good times.

Obviously a huge nostalgic value attached to this for me but that swagger is so infectious and a more serious song for Madness.

That second one was brilliant. Loved the sax parts.

This is the first one that popped into my mind, from last year. I could probably look through my whole library and find a few songs that are as happy as this. I don't think any of them could possibly be happier (more happy) though. The oh-oh-oh's in the verses, the sing-a-long chorus, and the subject matter all make this the perfect 'pick-me-up' tune for me personally.

It's not just the vocal line but the whole sound. That snare drum is raw and that guitar is funky without being cliched.

A quality remix of the Dillinger classic. The Wayne Smith track isn't too shabby either.

This isn't exactly smile-inducing or anything, but it has a good vibe about it, and makes me feel all swanky and good.

That's right, a SMITHS SONG!

(in case you guys can't tell from my recent posts, I'm on a big 'Lips binge

Sorry for the flood of videos, but I have a boat load of songs that make my smile.
