That's the best suggestion I've seen on this thread so far by quite a distance!
Songs that just make me feel happy:
Skater Boy - Avril Lavigne (this definitely comes under the heading of "Guilty Pleasure")
At The River - Groove Armada
Born Slippy - Underworld
Starlight - Muse
Wonderful World - The Ramones
I imagine there's dozens, if not hundreds, more songs that can pick up my mood at the drop of a hat; but those above are the ones that leap to mind for me at the moment.
Peter Frampton- Baby I Love Your Way
Cat Stevens - Moonshadow
Traveling Wilburys - End Of The Line
Nat King Cole - When I Fall in Love
Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World
New Seekers - I'd like to teach the world to sing
Mungo Jerry - In The Summertime
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama
George Thorogood - It Wasn't Me
When I am really happy I sing "I'm so excited, that I just can't hide it..."
Another feel good song is when I am on my way home after being away for a few days. As we near home I sing "Almost there, we're almost there..." (Andy Williams)
This thread really shows how personal musical taste is because, I have to confess, the vast majority of the songs listed would have me pressing the mute button rather than feeling good

There probably are a few guilty pleasures, but basically if it does it for you who gives a ;-):D
Music is a very subjective thing isn't it. A lot of the songs considered to be instant happy songs tend to annoy the heck out of me! Walking on Sunshine and the Only Way Is Up send me nuts! Dancing Queen I'm sick of hearing too!
Anyway, some of my upbeat happy tunes because they make me wanna dance are:
Lola's Theme by Shapeshifters
Where Love Lives (Come on In) - Alison Limerick
I'll be Good - René and Angela
There's a Ghost in my House (1974 version) - R. Dean Taylor (lyric may not be upbeat, but the sheer energy in the song is brilliant)
Bright Lights Bigger City - Cee Lo Green
Nitelife - Kim English
Happy - Pharrell. (Yes this one IS obvious but I do like it!)
Come into my Life - Joyce Sims
Love Like This - Faith Evans
You're The One For Me - D Train

I Belong to You - Whitney Houston
Tightrope - Janelle Monáe

I would put this on the music forum but to be honest they scare me slightly
