Joyful music

The lyrics don't suggest joy but this is my favourite Madness track ever with one of the best toe tapping beats ever.

The Polyphonic Spree - The Beginning Stages Of...

As for Madness, although I prefer their earlier albums overall, Michael Caine is an excellent happy pop song!

there's a kind of hush - herman's hermits
blue song - bright eyes
just what i needed - the cars
green eyes - coldplay
better together - jack johnson
500 miles - the proclaimers
you can dance if you want to.men at work
calypso blues - nat king cole
what i like about you - the ramones
sons and daughters - decemberists

uuuummm, that's all I've got off the top of my head. But I'm sure that there's more

I would say "Martha My Dear" by The Beatles is the greatest happy song ever created. The Decemberists' "Summersong" is a good one too.

U2 - Beautiful Day.

Just makes me smile when it builds up and he sings "it's a beautiful day!" That what I wait for the entire time.

I love that one. In fact it's one of the first Beatles songs that made me really get into them. It's where I saw the magic - despite having liked other songs in the past, more passively I guess.

Makes me want to go for a long drive on a sunny day.

I'll post some of my own later. Well here's one for starters - "Pattycake" by sElf. Almost anything by them is joyful.

And a single from earlier this year, "Could You Love Me Now"

I find Sit Down, by James, extremely uplifting...
Oh, and La Vida Loca, by Ricky Martin. Makes me want to do cartwheels.
