Glad I Could Make You Smile Funny Picture
Best happy songs, ranked
1. 'Let's Go Crazy' by Prince
'This thing called life' can leave you down in the dumps. Who better to lift you up than Prince? Abandon your inhibitions, get a little crazy, and you'll be alright in no time. Or at least for the four minutes Prince rips it up on this definitive track.
2. 'I Got You (I Feel Good)' by James Brown & The Famous Flames
JB and his band can hardly contain themselves, letting loose ecstatic screeches and strutting horns that pummel you in all the right places with infectious glee. This is essentially the end all, be all of feelin' good in the funk era.
3. 'Don't Stop Me Now' by Queen
When Freddie Mercury – Mr Fahrenheit, if you want to get formal – is having a good time, it's best you don't try to interrupt it. Surrender to the infectious barrage of good vibes in this high-octane crowd-pleaser and you too will soon be floating around in ecstasy.
4. 'Good as Hell' by Lizzo
Lizzo's breakout hit song will have you feeling good about yourself, putting you in the mood to conquer the blues and the world. And that'sbefore she busts out the flute.
5. 'Walking on Sunshine' by Katrina & The Waves
A pop rush so pure and addictive that it is actually on the ballot in nine states to be made illegal. Try to resist. It's impossible.
6. 'Lovely Day' by Bill Withers
Bill Withers's good-natured energy permeates his funk ode to the mood-altering power of finding your soulmate – a high that peaks on Withers's gloriously sustained singing of 'lovely daaaaaaaaaaaaaaay' at the climax.
7. 'Tightrope' by Janelle Monáe
When you need a confidence boost alongside your mood boost, this tune is what you need. Turn it up and take to heart the message about forging ahead past the doubters.
8. 'Three Little Birds' by Bob Marley & The Wailers
There never was a more convincing argument for tranquility than this one's exuberant 'every little thing's gonna be alright' refrain.
9. 'Shout' by The Isley Brothers
So much more than the greatest wedding-reception song ever written – though it's also that – the Isley Brothers manic, soulful classic is a masterpiece of escalation, and a musical tribute to feeling so damn overjoyed all you can do is let out a primal scream... then do it again a little bit softer.
10. 'Dancing Queen' by ABBA
This track brings everyone to the dance floor (or your own private dance floor). There's no denying the feels that burst forth when you're grooving like a '70s star... or maybe like hologram of one.
11. 'A Beautiful Morning' by The Rascals
Regardless of the actual weather situation, you'll be elatedly skipping out the door thanks to this tune's unwavering sunniness.
12. 'You Make My Dreams' by Hall & Oates
Fantasy becomes blissful reality over euphoric doo-wop and a cheerful sensibility just this side of cheesy.
13. 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)' by Whitney Houston
Channel your inner Whitney with this upbeat, carefree tune that refuses to quit. You'll be transported to a pop paradise with '80s flare, and how can you not smile about that?
14. 'Good Vibrations' by The Beach Boys
Brian Wilson brings his theremin surfing and turns a trashy B-movie-soundtrack tool into an aural ray of sunshine.
15. 'Feel Right' by Mark Ronson ft. Mystikal
Mystikal lays down gravelly, hyper and wondrously dirty verses over Ronson's perfectly captured throwback funk for a seriously adult party track littered with perfectly deployed MF-ers.
16. 'Sir Duke' by Stevie Wonder
'Sir Duke' is what happens when you let one of modern music's true geniuses geek out over the musicians he loves, and Stevie's tribute to Duke Ellington, Glen Miller, Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington is four minutes of pure joy. If the ascendant horns don't get you, hearing Stevie's refrain of 'you can feel it all over' will.
17. 'I Can See Clearly Now' by Johnny Nash
Johnny Nash's enraptured zydeco-soul hybrid injects images of blue skies and rainbows directly into your cerebral cortex, where they will linger for use on any rainy day.
18. 'Dance to the Music' by Sly & The Family Stone
The titular exhortation seems almost superfluous given the horn lines' uplifting, to-the-moon groove. Almost.
19. 'All You Need is Love' by The Beatles
Lennon & McCartney's brassy, bouncy, pro-harmony singalong should have instantly brought about world peace when it came out. We'll have to settle for bringing on a good mood.
20. 'Blister in the Sun' by the Violent Femmes
The goodball bassline is one of the '80s most blissed-out riffs, and paired with Gordon Gano's nasally delivery this stoned-out classic is guaranteed to cause an involuntary strut. Worry about the stained sheets later.
21. 'Happy' by Pharrell Williams
There's no way you don't feel great the moment Pharrell's buttery falsetto floats over the easily cantering beat into your grateful ears.
22. 'The Way You Make Me Feel' by Michael Jackson
Jackson's primal screams and guttural hoots reveal themselves as the only meaningful way to express true love.
23. 'Kites Are Fun' by the Free Design
There's no hidden meaning in this jaunty, sun-soaked ode to flying kites. It really is just a spectacular '60s era song about kites. And it will instantly transform even the most hardened cynic into a child daydreaming about a day at the beach.
24. 'Can't Stop the Feeling' by Justin Timberlake
Dance, dance, dance... How can you not when listening to this tune? Justin Timberlake and the Trolls for whom the song was written are guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
25. 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' by Bobby McFerrin
According to some one of the most annoying songs of all time as well, but relentless optimism has to count for something, right?
