There are a few kinds of happiness, so here are a few songs:

I don’t tend to listen to much happy music, as it turns out, so I ended up going through my entire library and making a playlist, which you can find here.

Not so much a song as an entire album. The Courtneys II by The Courtneys.

Birdhouse in Your Soul by They Might Be Giants. No reason really. It's just fun.

oh my god, yes. So many TMBG songs would work!

Volkiano - Remi Wolf

No idea what volkiano means but Remi Wolf’s music is always fun

…and somehow I deleted my comment and all the replies. Cool cool cool.

Repost.

Dead Milkmen - Punk Rock Girl - My cool older cousin introduced me to the Dead Milkmen before Beelzabubba came out and gave me his Bucky Fellini tape. So this song inspired some fond memories anyway, but then it’s also just so damn good. Absolute classic.

oh no!! it’s all good.

kvn,

Hmm I still see your original comment and the replies on my end. It might be instance dependant

AcornCarnage,
@AcornCarnage@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I think once it goes out it can’t be deleted from other instances, just my own.

Cake - Love You Madly never fails to put a smile on my face.

A bunch of Cake! I might have picked Stickshifts and Safetybelts.

ungrokable,

That’s by far my favorite Fashion Nugget track! When it pops up on shuffle it’s a forced sing-a-long. There’s no other option.

Italian Leather Sofa and Sheep Go To Heaven!

kvn,

I love Cake. Have you heard Cheekface? Their deadpan vocal delivery and absurb lyrics often remind me of Cake.

“Listen to Your Heart” “No” - Cheekface

Nothing to Fear, by Depeche Mode

    absolute classic!

    Watching the video this morning, I think this was actually a really formative musical moment for me. Super catchy, slightly subversive, kind of awkward & nerdy bands/songs have appealed to me ever since. I’d say without even knowing it, this song really paved the way for a love of power pop.

    serpentofnumbers,

    This band will always put me in a good mood, especially anything from Eat Your Paisley, Bucky Fellini, or Beelzebubba. I can be in the darkest, most depressed mindset and this band will never fail to cheer me up.

    The song is nothing but a blast to sing and dance to, makes me deeply happy!

    “Cha Cha Cha” by The Little Ones

    This is great. Will be listening to them some more today.

    ren,
    @ren@lemmy.world avatar

    it’s just insanely catchy

    BonesOfTheMoon,

    The New Pornographers, Falling Down The Stairs Of Your Smile.

    Ooo!!! NP! Yes. For me from them, the song “Mass Romantic” gets me boppin’ hard!

    BonesOfTheMoon,

    Their new record is incredible. Not as poppy but a great vibe. Saw them live in the spring and it was fantastic.

    ren,
    @ren@lemmy.world avatar

    I love their new record!!! Horns, a little experimental, so good. My only complaint is the leadoff song which was a castaway from the last album - it doesn’t fit the vibe.

    BonesOfTheMoon,

    Oh it grew on me.

    ren,
    @ren@lemmy.world avatar

    totally - such a good album and direction from them.

    @ren @BonesOfTheMoon I love The New Pornographers and they put on a great show. I got to see them live with nearly the full lineup. I can't remember who was missing, but Neko Case was there.

    ungrokable,

    Damn, I haven’t listened to The New Pornographers in years. Now I know what I’m listening to the rest of the day.

    BonesOfTheMoon,

    The new album is a vibe.
