Default Spin-Off: Favorite Happy Songs
Taking a cue from Tracye's thread, what are your favorite happy songs?

My biggest one is Carly Simon's Let the River Run. I *love* that song, always have. Another one that puts a huge grin on my face is Sparkling Diamonds from Moulin Rouge.

"Hold Me" always makes me happy.

Also, "AM Radio" by Everclear, "Ten Rounds with Jose Cuervo" by Tracy Byrd, and most anything by the Beach Boys.

I think her whole "Live Your Life Be Free" album ranks as being one of the happiest, silliest albums ever. I Plead Insanity, especially.

They're freaking awesome! And I was immediately offended when you wrote Europop fag. So, I'm glad you clarified! See, the laughing guy means I was kidding! Made sure I clarified!

Love to Hate You, Blue Savannah, Star, A Little Respect. The list goes on and on! They are so great! Apparently Andy Bell (singer) is dying of AIDS though. Super sad. Their new album is very reflective. Apparently he's pretty sick now. Sigh... A world without Andy Bell is a sad, sad world!

Oh, no!!! That is sad. Yeah, I liked them because they were all fast and fun, not depressive and drony like the other ones I can think of. You know how everyone likes the Cure, and Morissey, and the Smiths, and, uh, whoever else? I don't like them. (well, I like a few songs by the Smiths for a brief period, but I was just trying to be cool)
Oh, another one I like is Bronski Beat.

So, what happens when you hit 20,000? Does a giant spider come eat you?
