I’ve never seen the video but that song’s chock full of chorusy, happy, sunshiney goodness! That’s a rare thing these days, if you ask me. ---

It changes all the time, but right now? “Cheap Sunglasses” by ZZ Top. _Oh yeah!_ ---

I’ve been really feeling “Walking After Midnight” by Patsy Cline lately. You see, underneath my rough exterior is a heart of gold. Just kidding - I don’t have a heart (but that song does make me feel awful good). DaLovin’ Dj ---

> [@Jurph](#): > > _Man, It’s So Loud In Here_ by They Might Be Giants. Add to the fact that TMBG already write infectious pop songs that they let Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne) produce the song with a techno-/disco- beat. It’s so… damn… peppy!! I want to thank you (with both sarcasm and !sarcasm) as I now have that song blasting on my speakers. I’d never heard it before, and I’ve spent the morning dancing like a freeeeeeeak around my appartment! I love it, but I fear what happens if someone sees me expressing my joy to its fullest! 😃 :eek: ---

“Yeah” by Usher is my main song of the moment, mostly because of the video though. And I just got the Queer Eye cd and every song on that makes me want to get up and dance. Excellent cd. ---

Da Vinci’s Notebook’s song [Three Little Words](http://www.davincisnotebook.com/sounds/three.mp3) is a fun mock-up of a Meatloaf song (link goes to MP3 sample). ---

The Darkness’ “I Believe in a Thing Called Love”. It’s nice to see the artistic spirit of Freddie Mercury is still alive. ---

_S’il Vous Plait_, Fantastic Plastic Machine. Better known as the “happy walk home” music from the comedy show _Spaced_. ---

I’ve been listening to \*Cosmic Charlie \* (The Grateful Dead) quite a bit this week. Usually one that comes into rotation when its nice weather and I’m feeling alright. Otherwise, this morning I was listening to Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing (Chris Issak). Not really a conventional feel good song I guess, but I was in the mood for it this morning and it made me feel happy… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-song-that-makes-you-happy-right-now/242382.md?page=2)
