OT: Songs that make you Happy

[Aluminny69]

Great Video!

The beauty of this instrumental from Neil Larsen and Buzzy Feiten really makes me feel good:

@ConwayGmck your song reminded me of this. I heard the cover before I ever heard the original and didn't realize it was a remake.

This seems to be borrowing quite a bit from Heart of Glass, but another song that just makes me smile.

This is definitely a case of lyrical dissonance. The words aren't happy, but such a peppy song. They look like they are having fun in the video, especially the drummer.

Here's one from a band not known for their happy music:

You never heard Melanie????

 

[Hoops66]

There's happy and then there's wild happy. Starts wild and then it gets wilder. I get tired just watching this.

This one really makes me happy - "Sun is Shining" from Bob Marley:

 

[Ozimoto]

This one is good for a few grins if you listen to the lyrics. Of course the context of the "Troubles" in Ireland can a be a downer if you let it.

 

[nwhoopfan]

You never heard Melanie????

I did, but not until long after I heard the other version.

 

[Ozimoto]

This one lifts my spirits when it pops up.

 

[Bama fan]

This one for sure:

She made a big splash with this one. Great, happy tune, and Carlos Santana to boot!

 

[Bama fan]

It's a challenge to not tap your feet to this. Or you could get up and dance with Martha if your insurance is paid up.

That was just pure fun!

 

[Bama fan]

Great Video!

Felix was a shining star! Fantastic song.

 

[Centerstream]

The original also makes me happy...

 

[Bama fan]

On a summer day, with the top down, and Martha Reeves just owning "Heat Wave", volume to 11. I love Linda Ronstadt, but the original by Martha and the Vandellas is one damn happy song.

 

[Bama fan]

The original also makes me happy...

Great find. Never seen it, glad I did.

 

[Bama fan]

My go to song when I need to be happy. Happens too much lately!

 

[Centerstream]

Great find. Never seen it, glad I did.

Thank you @Bama fan

 

[64Zcode]

Thank you @Bama fan

I can't imagine a 'somber' Jennifer Nettles', she's always a hoot.
These folks have their own brand of happy:

Mississippi mud never touched her fingers, see the girl dance, dance, dance!
