I heard this on the radio the other day - they did a survey asking people for the song that makes them happy. And the winner was "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys! So I'm wondering, what's your happy song? This may be too old for a lot of you, but mine is Chubby Checker's "The Twist".  My family used to dance around the house to this song , so it brings back many happy memories.

My "happy song" is more of a romantic one. It makes me think of my wife Pam, my rock. It is Linda Ronstadt singing the song "Someone to Watch Over Me" written by George and Ira Gershwin. Here is link to her singing it:

Fun post! It's hard to go wrong with "Lovely Day" by Bill Withers.

Jill (and all):

I DJed for my college radio station, so I could come up with a very long list, but I will limit it to five.

1. If I had $1000000 - Barenaked Ladies (I turned this song into the Lacke/BNL inequality for teaching the concept of multivariate utility)
2. Summer - War
3. Sing A Song - Earth, Wind, and Fire
4. Waterloo - ABBA
5. Twist And Shout - The Beatles (especially when accompanied by Ferris Bueller and many Chicagoans)

I'm guessing that some people will suggest certain additional songs by artists 3 and 4. :-)

"Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake is a classic rock ballad that resonates due to its relatable lyrics and catchy melody. The song's theme of embarking on a new journey and leaving the past behind strikes a chord with anyone who has ever faced a difficult decision or made a significant change in their life. The driving guitar riff and powerful vocals of lead singer David Coverdale add to the song's emotional impact. Overall, "Here I Go Again" is a song that continues to capture the hearts of listeners with its uplifting message and infectious melody.

I created a playlist on Spotify that includes (almost) all the songs mentioned, because we could all use some happy tunes to feel better. I think/hope the link below should allow anyone to add new songs to the list.
