I’ve liked this song since the 70s and just found out that Graham Nash wrote the song about the time he was living with Joni Mitchell

All You Need Is Love - Beatles

Happy Together by The Turtles.

Good thread.

This one, by Paul Simon, is like swallowing a happy pill. I especially love the gospel-ness of it:

Gone At Last
mmm

Groovin’ (On a Sunday Afternoon)

Oly, the monotone in that version of The Happy Wanderer is just one issue; another is that the singer can’t stay in tune and keeps changing key!
Here’s a cute Muppets version, but don’t listen if you don’t want to get earwormed :wink:


Crafter man, one of my faves :slight_smile:

Don’t Worry, Be Happy, Bobby McFerrin

Bonus: Robin Williams in the video.

Itchycoo Park - Small Faces

30000 Pounds of Bananas (Harry Chapin)–I’m not going to say why I think it’s a happy song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGldNpngDws

Coconut - Harry Nilsson

Who Will Find Me - DJ Shah feat. Adrina Thorpe

I’m not drinking that even if trapped On a Coconut Island. (Louis Armstrong with The Polynesians)
Actually, now I’m curious as to what it tastes like.

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band-Bayou Jubilee.

I love it! Thanks for sharing!

You’re such a silly woman. :smiley:

Sly and the Family Stone, “You Can Make It If You Try”

Smile, Darn Ya, Smile! (1931) Foxy & Roxy in a Warner Brothers cartoon here: Smile, Darn Ya, Smile! (1931) - YouTube

George Harrison - What Is Life

A classic, happy song. McFerrin lived in San Francisco in the late 1980s and his kids played in the same soccer league as mine did. So I’ve seen him on the soccer fields, but I never went up to him to say hello.

Great song.

In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it double
Don’t worry, be happy
