Let's get happy for a minute!

[jboy88]

Since we have a sizable list of sad songs, why don't we flip the script and do some Happy songs. They can be for any genre and from any era, a guilty pleasure etc. Here are some to get started!

Rubber band Man- The Spinners
Uncle Jam, Knee Deep- Funkedelic
Crazy about the La La La- Smokey & The Miracles
Bad Luck- Harold Melvin & the Blue notes
Flashlight-Parliament
I Love Music- The O'jays
Give me some air-Shorty Long

These are just the tip of the iceberg here!

"Pussy" - Funkadelic.

"Happy Face" by Con Funk Shun was aptly titled. I also love "One of Those Summers" by P-Funk All Stars, one of the best mood altering songs I ever heard.

Peanut Butter - Twennynine featuring Lenny White

Queen Of My Soul - AWB

Heaven Must Be Like This - Ohio Players

Oh How Happy - Shades Of Blue

[Jerry Oz]

"Pass the Dutchie" by Musical Youth, was a song that I found to be a happy song. Contrast it to the original "Pass the Kouchie" by The Mighty Diamonds, which is an entirely different vibe with almost the same lyrics and music.

"Love Train" - The O'Jays
"Stoned Love" - The Supremes
"Something About You" - The Four Tops
"I'll Take You There"- The Staple Singers
"Living In America" - James Brown

Sing a Happy Song - The O'Jays

Phyllis Hyman was of course primarily known for her gut-wrenching ballads and songs of lost love. So for that reason, I always thought her song choices of "You Sure Look Good to Me" and "You Know How to Love Me" were out of character for her. Great songs though, so I am not complaining. Just proved the girl could sing anything.
