Thank you for this list. I saw several of my favorite songs in the replies:

Its a Beautiful Morning!
Rockin' Robin!
I love a rainy night
Up, Up, and Away in my beautiful balloon
A Smile Is Something Special, by the Maguire Sisters
Collective Kitties of the Yangtzi ( I wrote that and it consists of "Meow, Meow, Meow/, Meow, Meow, Mao", in a vaguely Chinese- type tune, Always makes me laugh!
and a great list of kids songs from the National Institute of Health site has middi music and lyrics, lots of silly songs. Cheers me up. Ta!

I've Got a Never Ending Love–DeLaney and Bonnie

I have a number of mixed tapes and CD’s that I use to cheer myself up or get me motivated. My favourite one that I usually use as the cool down on my workout mixed CD is “I’m going all the way” by Sounds of Blackness. The vocalist is amazing and the words are truly inspirational and comforting “I may be down sometimes, but I won’t be down always.”

Thanks for your list and your inspiring videos.

Upper tunes from a moldy oldie. LOL

Windy – The Association
William Tell Overture
A Fifth of Beetovan (the jazz arrangement of Beetovan’s Fifth)

CAUTION: these tunes played at high volume on your eight track with the sunroof open causes speeding tickets.

Hi – not a boomer, came to your site through flylady. Two of my fave happy songs that are not already listed are:
Beautiful Day by U2
New Sensation by INXS

I also like “I Love a Rainy Night” by Eddie Rabbit and “So What?” by Pink.

My nine year old thinks “Ain’t Talkin’ ’bout Love” by Van Halen is a happy song, but that is his favorite song, so not sure if it counts for your purposes!

Smile! Sharon <-admitted NPR junkie and lover of “Love Me Like a Rock”…
