    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Happy music

Settlin' by Sugarland. It's about how she's not going to settle for anything less than the best any more. It makes me happy, anyway.

And on this note:
It Happens, by the same artist (Sugarland). It's basically saying not to think too much of the bad things. It's my "Life doesn't suck, get over yourself and be happy" song. I listen to it and I can't help but smile. Plus it's so damn catchy.

And a few more, just because it feels wrong listing just one:

Celebrity by Brad Paisley, just because it's so... amusing.

I Wanna Do It All by Terri Clark. It's about well... she's singing about doing everything she wants to do without someone telling her she can't.

Hakuna Matata. Do I even have to explain this one?

Nothin' Bout Love Makes Sense by LeAnn Rimes. It's just so... so cheerful.
 
i am the fourth person iirc to name don't stop me now but if you don't know it then listen to it and you'll understand why

also:
blue october - calling you because it's an adorable love song
goldfinger - superman mostly for those of you who played the original tony hawk's pro skater, you'll remember this shit when you hear it
the move - flowers in the rain because it's just a 2 minute song about waking up to the sound of rain and going outside and sitting in a garden and chilling

and actually these three are the only three i can think of off the top of my head because i'm lazy.
 
Well.

Pantera - Rise, 5 Minutes Alone, and Death Rattle.
Disturbed - Perfect Insanity :D and Meaning of Life.
Megadeth - Last Rites/Loved to Deth, The Skull Beneath the Skin, Peace Sells, and Good Mourning/Black Friday.
Metallica - Ain't My Bitch, Dyer's Eve, and Sweet Amber.

There's many more, I just don't feel like typing them out right now xD
 
Sigur Rós - Hoppípolla
Blackfield - Christenings
KISS - Crazy Crazy Nights
Marillion - Tumble Down The Years
Broken Social Scene - Anthems For A 17-year Old Girl
Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger
Elf Power - Peel Back The Moon, Beware!
Genesis - Throwing It All Away
K's Choice - Favorite Adventure
maudlin of the Well - Birth Pains of Astral Projection

wow it was actually hard to make a list like this

edit: forgot about
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Storm (particularly between 10:12 and 10:43)
Explosions In The Sky - So Long, Lonesome
Explosions In The Sky - A Slow Dance
Gregor Samsa - #2 Untitled
King Crimson - I Talk To The Wind

I was going to say that Nirvana's Lithium cheered me up, but then I realized it was a song about relying on religion to keep you from going over the edge.

Then I was going to say SP's Today, but then I realized it was about committing suicide.

I have the most fucked up sense of happiness ever.

Hendrix: Purple Haze
Dream Theater: Under a Glass Moon.


And that's all I got. Very few of the songs in my library are happy (because I don't really care for upbeat tunes)

More happeh stuff! :D

Dirty Picture - Taio Cruz ft. Ke$ha

Livin' on a Prayer - Bon Jovi
Crazy Train - Ozzy
Hips Don't Lie - Shakira

Anything upbeat and happy or energetic makes me happy. But so do Evanescence songs. :P
 
"Songs that make me happy" are sometimes pretty different to songs that I'd I'd actually call "Happy songs". Because basically everything that's upbeat and high-energy makes me happy, even if it's about something serious (see: It's The End of the World as We Know It). But I have dozens of playlists dedicated to happy music (I rarely listen to anything else, actually), so here are my favourites:

If I Had $10000000
Falling for the First Time
It's All Been Done
One Week

Ohio
Almost
Get Happy
