    most of my favorite "happy songs" have been ruined by being associated with certain shitty past relationships... anything by radiohead, jack johnson, or belle and sebastian just to name a few... liam finns been making me pretty happy lately though :D

    and the sillier who stuff is always a good pick me up

    umm... presidents of the USA is definitely happy music...

    some beck is good happy music

    i guess its easier to just name bands... i cant think of particular songs right now

    oh... "skinned" by blind melon :D (definitely the happiest song about a murderer... maybe tied with dirty frank)
    "Senza speme vivemo in disio"

    weird al
    I have faced it, A life wasted...

    Take my hand, my child of love
    Come step inside my tears
    Swim the magic ocean,
    I've been crying all these years

    There are several, but one that jumps right out at me is Brimful of Asha by Cornershop.

    I love that song.

    I have to say every time I hear this I get happy... I don't know why, I just do, maybe it reminds me of my childhood and a simpler time.

    I can't believe I forgot Born To Run! That has to be one of the greatest 'pick me up' songs ever. I hope to get to see it live some day.

    The one that immediately sticks out...

    James - Laid

    I could listen to that song 10x a day forever and never get tired of it. I have no idea why.
