Please recommend some happy songs for me.

Almost all the songs I know are slightly sad ..I mean melancholic.

Not "Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry, Be Happy", I really hate that song.

Thanks.

Some I like:

Pet Shop Boys - 'I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing' and 'Liberation' - loving both of these at the moment, highly reccomended

Corinne Bailey Rae - 'Put your records on'

Robbie Williams - 'Let Love be your Energy', 'Hot Fudge'

the last two make me want to jump off a tall building.


there's nothing like a bit of cheese to cheer you up [gromit]. i'd plump for "move your feet" by junior senior or of course anything by abba.
another song that always makes me feel optimistic is "you get what you give" by the new radicals.
