I Need Some Happy Music

[The White Hunter]

And Mr Blue Sky isn't doing it for me tonight. I've just had a really crappy week and I want to burn off some steam. I thought what better way to do that then listen to some upbeat songs.

Got anything in mind? Lay it on me.

Cheesy I know. But you can't deny it's upbeat!

Alot of Sonic music is pretty upbeat actually, I'm sure you could find some on youtube with little effort, the Colours OST is in particular very upbeat and bouncy.

 

[Sunrider]

What cheers me up is some old-school power metal like Helloween, Gamma Ray, Angra and, as cheesy as they are, Rhapsody.
I'll give a few examples, some fairly "mainstream" choices by all bands.

Spoiler: Helloween - All Over The Nations

Spoiler: Gamma Ray - Beyond The Black Hole

Spoiler: Angra - Carry On

Spoiler: Rhapsody - Emerald Sword

Yes, power metal is cheesy as fuck, but there's not much out there that can compete with it when it comes to feeling happy and awesome.

 

[Worgen]

Smile song
Numa Numa meets metal
Mini Mario Epic RPG Medley
Hmm, guess that last one is more awesome then happy
Ah, ok here we go, I dare you to not be happy after this one.

 

[Bobic]

Why just strip down and dance along


YATTA!

 

[GregerFisk]

I will go for something a bit different and post Swedish punk.

 

[Frezzato]

Thanks guys. I needed a pick me up.

Go, Stars! Go GO CANADA!

 

[CrazyGirl17]

I just found about this song, and it is pure awesome! Go on, give it a listen.

 

[Frezzato]

I'm just going to start dropping stuff off in this thread. This song isn't so much a pick-me-up as it is a "It's Springtime and life is awesome" sort of tune.

 

[Frezzato]

And let's not forget The Shins.

If electonica is more your thing, then I recommend this, the best version of Hello, IMO:

 

[jdogtwodolla]

How can you not be cheery after listening to this?

Spoiler: It's ten whole hours of pure Joy and Happiness

 

[Asita]

HOW is this not listed yet?


Come on, the title pretty much mandates it!

 

[busterkeatonrules]

I've got a few...

Spoiler: Tiny Tim!

(As a public service, I decided against posting the 10-hour version. No need to thank me.)

Spoiler: Country singer David Allen Coe's idea of an anti-drug song!

Gotta hand it to him, it does have better arguments than most.

Spoiler: Richard Wagner. Yes, THAT Richard Wagner.

There's MUCH more to him than just "Ride of the Valkyries"!

Spoiler: Danny Kaye: The Black Fox!

Robin Hood himself never had a theme song this awesome!

 

[eggy32]

This song pretty much epitomises happiness

Spoiler: Life's A Happy Song

 

[King of Asgaard]

I am very sorry =D

Don't be, that stuff's amazing.
OT: Monty Python fixes everything:

Yet, when all else fails, you can count on GLaDOS to perk you right up:

[EvilMaggot]

I am very sorry =D

oooh you didnt!!! xD argh my ears!

 

[SckizoBoy]

failing that just type "abba" into youtube ¯\(°_o)/¯

And just why would you inflict that on anyone?! -_-

OT: Don't know if it's 'happy' per se... but it's definitely not sad, and a fair bit... different...

 

[Longstreet]

one word

Psycostick

Cracks me up every time. better than anti-depressants.

 

[ninjaRiv]

Here we go! Come on, this'll make you happy!

I don't know how to embed these...

 

[BartyMae]

Unfortunately, I'm not really able to help, because, as I just discovered, I don't really have a single happy song in my collection of music!

The best I can do is this, which a copy of was located in my miscellaneous folder.
