Apologies to anybody who voted for one of the tunes replaced above during the year it took me to make all the edits, and to all those whose excellent suggestions didn't make the cut.

15. "Summer Breeze" by Seals and Crofts

At any time of year that one makes me feel good. I'll also give an honorable mention to "Moonlight Feels Right" by Starbuck. It always mellows me out as well, plus I have to give props to any Top 10 that features what sounds like a xylophone solo- as I used to play that instrument in my high school band. haha

[Bossy Monkey]

24. July is dressed up and playing her tune, and it's up

Think the Starbuck number features either vibes or marimba, but you may be right.

[last_texas_dem]

28. Cool,

and it looks like you're right about the marimba!

[XemaSab]

33. "Summer Breeze" by Type O-Negative

:D

[last_texas_dem]

41. Yeah, well that one is an interesting interpretation of the song...

It doesn't really mellow me out or make me grin, though! haha

[Jamastiene]

16. That Walking on Sunshine song turns me into an idiot every

time I hear it. I don't know why, but I love it.

[kentauros]

17. xtc - stupidly happy

m stupidly happy
Everythings fine
Im stupidly happy
My heart pumping wine
Im stupidly happy
With idiot grin
Im stupidly happy
You wont catch me in

All the birds of the air call your name as they land on my kitchen roof
All the fish in the sea do the same if you need extra proof

Im stupidly happy
My vision is skewed
Im stupidly happy
Im coming unscrewed

And if the devil walks up dressed in any disguise
I take him by the collars look him in the eye
Im stupidly happy
Now youre my defense
Im stupidly happy
Its all making sense

Im stupidly happy
I roll like a train
Im stupidly happy
With you in my brain

All the lights of the cars in the town form the strings of a big guitar
Im a giant to play you a tune for wherever you are
Im stupidly happy
Are the words to that song
Im stupidly happy
And nothing is wrong
And should the devil walk up with his business card out
Ill tear it to confetti with a grin and shout,
Im stupidly happy
All of the time
Im stupidly happy
Now youre mine

[Bossy Monkey]

29. I would have put on "Mayor of Simpleton" but didn't think of it in time n/t

[kentauros]

32. That's okay; you've got "other" up there now

:)

I couldn't decide on that or "Then She Appeared" or "My Bird Performs", but "Stupidly Happy" is a grinfest just in visuals presented :D

[MorningGlow]

25. Walking on Sunshine--can't help it

That's a roll-down-the-car-windows, drive-too-fast, sing-along song if ever there was one.

[nomorenomore08]

26. "Jessica" is an amazing tune, though I'd put "Blue Sky" up there as well.

Showcases what a talented singer AND slide guitarist Dicky Betts once was.

[Bossy Monkey]

35. "Blue Sky" is a much happier, or at least warmer, vocal performance

than say "Rambling Man" suggested above. Definitely one of my grin like an idiot numbers, though the editing window ran out a while back. Ah well.

[nomorenomore08]

36. Yeah, "Ramblin' Man" is ultimately a sad song, "Dixie women" or not.

I mean, being born in the backseat of a Greyhound? How much more humble an origin could one have? :P

[LynneSin]

27. Other: Summertime by DJ Jazzy and the Fresh Prince

It's such a "Warm Summer Day in Philly" song that I get happy happy everytime I hear it.

Also anytime I hear "All Good People" by Yes on the radio because something really good is about to happen. I heard it 3 times on the radio a week before Obama was elected. I knew it was a sure bet!

[Bossy Monkey]

34. Do you remember 20-odd years ago, just before they broke national,

when Jeff and Will did the promos for Power 99? I don't even remember listening to that station hardly at all, but I still remember the promo (and thinking "These guys are going to be huge!") though all I recall specifically is something like "Oh no, what a bummer/ it's (some specific time of day) time for Barbara Summers!"

"All Good People" is an excellent grin like an idiot number, particularly "Your Move," especially if you have a big chess match coming up!:)

[maxrandb]

30. "Sorry" by the Nerf Herders

With lyrics like

Sorry I showed up at your party
Sorry I drank up all the Bacardi
Sorry I puked up all over your bedspread
Sorry I wanted to be your boyfriend again

Sorry I showed at your wedding
Sorry I tried so hard to get in
Sorry I screwed up your pictures
Sorry I had sex with your sister

What can I do,
it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over
What can I do,
I am the loser

[DS1]

37. Stinkfist and Hooker with a Penis by TOOL

Nice little "Fuck you" tracks to play when aggravated by some douche/tool

[nadine_mn]

38. Stevie Wonder... Uptight (Everything's Alright)

I need to pull over so I can dance in my car when I hear if I am driving

[SalmonChantedEvening]

39. Another Three Dog Night song

It's made me smile for almost 40 years now.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOr4O66WZW0


Sing it y'all

[Bossy Monkey]

40. Can't believe I forgot "Summer" by War

not that anybody was going to vote for it, but still. Then again, can't believe I changed out Lovin' Spoonful and LEN just as they were getting a vote each; oh well, at least I apologized in advance against the contingency.:)

[3dogday]

42. Stevie Wonder: I wish

love Mayor of Simpleton too

[Bossy Monkey]

43. Good choices, and welcome to DU! n/t
