Happy, feel-good music?

Happy Together

Shiney Happy People

The Boswell Sisters! Peppy sister trio from the twenties and thirties. Here’s a favorite

When you say happy, upbeat, feel good music, do you care just about the music or the lyrics too? I have a few songs that have an upbeat, happy sound but the lyrics don’t match the happy feel of the music.

An example: Everything’s Just Wonderful

Ska fits that description to a T. Little Things by Deal’s Gone Bad is a pretty good example. I can suggest a lot more if you like what you hear.

Mad as Rabbits by Panic at the Disco puts a grin on my face, as does Daydream Believer by The Monkees.

Jack Johnson!
