Always loved the fact that it's a really happy sounding song, but it's titled Cemetery Gates, which would make ya think the opposite.
and from my days in middle school...

John Lennon - Happy Christmas (War Is Over)
Paul Macca - Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time

James Brown - I Feel Good
Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Day He Didn't Die
No Doubt - Spiderwebs
Ocean Colour Scene - They Day We Caught The Train
Stevie Wonder - Isn't She Lovely
Will Smith - Just The Two Of Us

EDIT: how could I forget. the 'nicest' song of all time, without a shadow of a doubt!: Thin Lizzy - Dancing In The Moonlight
always makes me smile

As it happens, I'm actually going to see Ladysmith Black Mambazo next Tuesday! |

The happiest song has to be "The Happy Happy Joy Joy Song" from Ren and Stimpy. |

Reel Big Fish's 'Everything Sucks' is, lyrically, a real bummer.
It still cheers me up to hear though

Up and Running, the first song on Bela Fleck Tales form the Acoustic Planet. In fact the whole album makes me so happy! All instrumental.  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
