Wow - where do I start? Probably everything on my Ipod! But to name few:
Blues Brothers Soundtrack (the movie)
Louis Armstrong “What A Wonderful World”
John Denver - most everything he did I like, mostly cuz I can play them on my guitar!
Emmylou Harris’ “Ballad of Sally Rose”
Soundtrack to “Benny and Joon”
Crunch Granola Suite - Neil Diamond vintage song
Ooops! Showing my age now- LOL!

I have lots of weird songs that make me happy, but I LOVE They Might be Giants. I had that cassette and wore... it... out. I'm going online right now to download some TMBG songs.

I love "Make a Little Birdhouse in your soul!" and "Mexican Radio". Plus that song about Snack Crackers, I don't even have a clue what they are talking about. There is a song that is locally popular a duet that has some really perverse lines. Sorry, makes me laugh to no end. It isn't cheerful though like the ones you speak of which make your butt wiggle in delight.

Hey, Amanda, that song is "In Spite of Ourselves" sung by John Prine and Iris DeMent.
John Prine is one of my faves for snappy, bouncy little tunes that stick in my head ("Leave the Lights On" always cracks me up). 'Course, a lot of his songs will also break your heart.
Leave the Lights On (first verse):
Feeling kind of bony
On the telephoney
Talking to Marconi
Eating Rice-a-Roni
Nominated for a Tony
For acting like a phoney
Watching Twilight Zoney
On my forty-two inch Sony
This is just a long song
It ain't no poem
Leave the lights on till your baby gets home
PS I love-love-love They Might Be Giants!!! That whole album (Flood) is one gem after another.

By charity, goodness, restraint, and self-control men and woman alike can store up a well-hidden treasure -- a treasure which cannot be given to others and which robbers cannot steal. A wise person should do good. That is the treasure that cannot be lost.

"Camel Walk" by Southern Culture on the Skids? Great song, even though it makes no sense at all! Originally Posted by Aggie_Ama

TMBG also has a super happy song called Ikea. About the store. That and Birdhouse both are supper happy-making. Others....
The Window Washer song by BNL (don't know the exact title). Not quite happy, but I love it anyway.
Love You Madly - Cake
Stick Shifts and Safety Belts - Cake
Million Dollars BNL
There's a song on the radio right now that is super happy and makes me excited every time I hear it: Say Hey by Michael Franti. Happiest. Song. Ever.

Oh my... I think I gotta print this thread to do some massive searching on iTunes for song clips. I'm getting ready to teach Spinning at my gym and have been having a mental block of what to play for these people to make their legs "spin happy". Having songs that make a person just "happy" for starters is step in the right direction.
I'm drawing a blank on my own contribution to the thread atm (see what I mean
).
Please, carry on...

Are you sure you're not thinking of Jonathan Coulton? He has a very similar sound and Pandora introduced me to him when I created a TMBG station. Here's a clip: Originally Posted by chatterbox
