Happy Songs!
 

We have Sing To Me Baby, a mixed bag of all sorts of fave songs, we have Sad Songs, which I have steered myself away from on more than one occasion but keep being drawn to, and now, fellow Pixies, here is a thread for our fave happy or super positive songs :D

Any song that makes you want to jump for joy, sing for your country, kiss a stranger, dance in the street, wave your arms in the air post right here and bring me some cheer :thumbs:

I'll start with these three classics:
 

Gloria Gaynor: I Will Survive

Pointer Sisters: I'm So Excited

The Weather Girls: It's Raining Men

Great songs from my younger days :D

Leonard Bernstein with the Vienna Philharmonic performs Beethoven's Ode to Joy with the help of a muppet. :)

Even your signature smilies seem to like to dance to Happy Feelings by Maze. :nod:

I am not fond of "happy" music. It's all cheezy to me. I'm more into pain and angst :D It's usually more passionate.

Bobby McFerrin - Don't worry, be happy! :D




Great thread FWM. :thumbs:

Happy Lil song. :nod:

Anything made by Weird Al or Axle the Sot. I love my silly songs. Otherwise, I'm with Lil on this. Most of my music is classic sex drugs and rock and roll, or something dark.

I thought of one while watching a movie, Tony Bennett's World on a String.

What a Wonderful World, if not for that film clip of "Good Morning Vietnam".

Maybe this version will make up for that one. ;)

I was waiting for the rabbit to break into "Bright Eyes".

99.999 times out of 100, I'm with her. Sad songs seem to plumb the deepest darkest part of my soul to an extent that "happy" songs almost never reach...they're mostly sap, like painting a happy face on a sucking chest wound will somehow save the patient...

Wow...

Did I ever lay on the mixed metaphors with that last sentence...that said, there is one happy song that my toes find irresistible to tapping along, every time I hear those three simple chords in the intro...I know, it's pure fluff, & I love it. (Maybe it's something about the singer Katrina, in the video she's not just another anorexic punk grrl spilling her angst all over...she's real, & she convinces me that she might really be Walking On Sunshine

Ok you fun lovin' peeps,
I'm BIG on happiness. So I'll jump into this all the way, headfirst, bellyflop, can-opener you name it here's my "HAPPY SONGS " contrib.
Sunny Day always filled me with a special pumpkin pie kind of feel good!
If that wasn't enough, then I'd reminisce on old times when we were Happy Together. Now, do you believe me?
OK then Sing loud as you can!!!!!

Up Up and Away (in my beautiful balloon).
