A song that makes you smile

In recent weeks, we've had threads about depressing songs and angry songs, but what songs make you happy? What song(s), when they come on the radio or your iPod, make you smile?

I have a couple (actually a whole playlist on my iPod). Just a few off the top of my head:

"Safety Dance," Men Without Hats
"Light and Day," Polyphonic Spree
"Funky Town," Lipps Inc

 

"Gypsy" by Fleetwood Mac.

If there's one song that always puts me in a better frame of mind, it's that one.

In terms of singing, I always have warm feelings whenever I sing "Whenever I Call You Friend" with a woman friend who is also a Stevie Nicks fanatic. We have electric chemistry on stage and it's REAL.

 

You Caught Me Smilin' -- Sly & The Family Stone
My Love -- Paul McCartney & Wings

 

"The Middle" Jimmy Eat World. It's one of my personal themes and just always puts me back on track mentally.

Also, anything from the Avenue Q soundtrack...especially "the internet is for porn."

 

Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key, Billy Bragg & Wilco
