In fact, I probably have enough characters left for another sobriety quote from you.
and I have an IRC log that should have some intresting ones.
DJ Dean - Play it Hard(DJ's @ Work Mix)
shuffle your playlist on an mp3 player if you've got one, so you can crack up while you're strutting down the street (works best with a playlist of 40+ songs for surprise effect)
Metallica - Hero Of The Day
Metallica - Bleeding Me (S&M versions good)
Nickelback - Feelin' Way Too Damn Good
Limp Bizkit - Down Another Day
Limp Bizkit - Build A Bridge
Yoko Kanno - ELM (Cowboy Bebop Soundtrack)
Yoko Kanno - Felt Tip Pen (Cowboy Bebop Soundtrack)
Yoko Kanno - Forever Broke (Cowboy Bebop Soundtrack)
David Gray - The Other Side
Run DMC (Featuring Aerosmith) - Walk This Way
Dire Straits - Money For Nothing
Oasis - Wonderwall
Oasis - D'Ya know what I Mean?
Soil - Unreal
Soil - My Own
CCR - Sweet Home Alabama (I don't this the tab is accurate on this one and I can't be bothered to rummange through a load of CD's to find it)

<b>Panyo Panyo DiGi Charat - Happy! Smile! Hello!</b>
The theme to Panyo Panyo DiGi Charat, it's as infectious and happy as the title suggests. I have no idea who does it, i can't read Japanese. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
<b>And One - Evil Boys</b>
And one straying from their normal serious EBM / Industrial to do a an odd catchy little bouncy number. It kinda reminds me of what an electronica version of ska would be like.
<b>DiGi Charat - Party Night</b>
The song they perform in DiGi Charat in episode 14 or 15 (Can't remember offhand). It's disgustingly cute and catchy, just like Happy! Smile! Hello!
<b>Sublime - Caress Me Down</b>
It's not really a "happy" song, but it's a porn dub groove. It's too cool and always makes me smile and sing along.
<b>Rancid - Olympia WA.</b>
Same as above. Good times.
<b>Decimate - My Own Way</b>
Brutal UK Hardcore, fast guitars, slow beatdowns, entirely full of hate. Man, it makes me feel good listening to pre catharsism.
<b>50 Caliber - Beautifully Weak</b>
Same as above. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Dear god they'll bleed....
<!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Automatically cheers me up. I simply love the song, and suggest anyone listens to it once.
<b>DMX - Party Up</b>
Very good to dance too, especially with large numbers of hottie's about <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
<b>P.O.D - Alive</b>
Don't ask. I'm not sure.
<b>Alice Cooper - Poison</b>
For sheer fun cheese factor. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
<b>Sublime - What I got</b>
Simply, the best feel-good song ever. No exceptions, and the only one close is.....
<b>The Wildhearts - I wanna go where the people go</b> (Title of song possibly not correct)
Also a great song, by a band who've done both excellent and awful tracks. But a very good cheer up song.

I CANNOT BELIEVE I FORGOT REM!!!
Bad Day is a perfect picker-upper
Also listen to robbie williams sometimes <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
EDIT. Just downloaded Electrolite, it's actually pretty good. And Bad Day is always a winner <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Also another okay song is soldier of love by Pearl jam <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
seed
same in the end
also...
hayden - hazards of sitting beneath palm trees
david bowie - little wonder
LOADS of other songs can make me happy, but this one just owns every song out there!
Everyone in my family knows the lyrics, and only my dad likes rock!
I can't believe noone has mentioned these:
<b>Lipps Inc</b>-Funky Town
<b>Supertramp</b>-Dreamer
<b>South Park Movie</b>-La Resistance (cracks me up every time I hear it)
<b>Queen</b>-Killer Queen <i>also...</i> Fat Bottom Girls, Bicycle
<b>Styx</b>-Mr Roboto
<b>Iron Maiden</b>-Sun and Steel
<b>Elton John</b>-Crocodile Rock (oh the sillyness!)
<b>Bob Marley</b>-Jammin <i>also...</i> Smoke 2 Joints
<b>ACDC</b>-Big Balls
and here's my fav:
<b>Amon Tobin</b>-Nightlife
[b]
Goldfinger - Superman
Lots of stuff by Green Day
REM - Radio Song
REM - Fall on Me (maybe not happy enough though)
REM - It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I feel Fine)
Queen - Killer Queen
Queen - Another One Bites the Dust
Matchbox 20 - realworld
Nena - 99 Luftballoons (the old version, the new one is sortof sad...and missing a stanza)
Nena - ? (Fragezeichen) (might not consider it happy though)
Nena - ...ahh, I have no idea what its name is; it starts with "ich bin so allein, ich will bei dir sein"...it may be Nur Geträumt or something.
Tatu - Ya Soshla s Uma (there's a techno version...I don't think you'll find it on a CD anywhere unfortunately)
Tatu - Bylo i Proshlo (...yea...anyother 'techno-ish' song...kinda weird in the middle though).
Tatu - Nas ne dogonyat (titled Not Gonna Get Us in english)
Well, that's all I can think of for now...most song lyrics aren't happy though.
Also Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy by Ren and Stimpy <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> .

ROUND TABLE feat. Nino - New World
ROUND TABLE feat. Nino - Let Me Be With You (New Step Mix)

<3 music... its my hobby <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
<b>Dream a Little Dream</b> - DJ Mystik
<b>Anything by The Polyphonic Spree.</b>
<b>Somewhere Over the Rainbow</b> - Isreal Kamakawiso'ole
I actually memorized the lyrics to Sunshine Lollipops and Rainbows, great song to break out singing when you want people to leave you alone. Dream a Little Dream is the definition of happy hardcore, its like stuffing cotton candy in your ears. Polyphonic Spree is pretty much a huge chorus of hippies singing, its weird but happy. You have to find Somewhere Over the Rainbow too, its dreamy.
I have no 'popular' music whatsoever, that alone makes me happy.
I always play this song in the ready room so the players start the round with a smile <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Sooka, sooka, sooka, sooka bazooka, sooka bazooka, yeah!
Also give these a look in:
<b>Mad Cow And The Royal Eurobeat Orchestra Of Bazookistan - Discow Moscow</b>
Stupidly happy eurobeat track.
<b>Bazooka Girls - Cantare Ballare</b>
Stupidly happy eurobeat again, but all the lyrics are other eurobeat song titles, it's too good and the lyrics just end up being bizarre. "Go Go Dance, Technotronic Flight, Shadow In The Night, Telephone, Try Me Ike Ike, Dancing In The Jungle, Dancing In The Maharaja Night!!"
<b>Bazooka Girls - Velfarre 2000</b>
Again, it's eurobeat, but this is just a total classic. It spawned a running thing with a few friends of mine shouting TOKYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO randomly at people, purely because this song uses a sample of that 11 times. And it's only about 2 minutes long.
I'll add:
AC/DC: TNT, Thunderstruck, You Shook Me All Night Long, etc (a lot of their stuff actually)
