Songs that just make you feel good

[That's Right]

What are some songs that just put a smile on your face, or put you in a good mood as soon as they come on? Some that come to mind:

Crumblin erb- OutKast
See what I can pull- Devin the dude
Lookin out my backdoor- CCR
slump- outkast
small town southern man- alan jackson (don't ask why)
falling in style- jason boland


I'm sure i'll think of many more later....

 

[l00p]

Archie Bell and the Drells - The Tighten Up (this song is infectious and upbeat)

A Tribe Called Quest - Scenario

James Brown - Get Up

The Orb - Little Fluffy Clouds (Cumulo Nimbus Remix)

Bob Marley - Pimpers Paradise

Getz/Gilberto - Garota De Ipanema

 

[RomaVicta]

Your Archie Bell and CCR choices are great.

Robert Gordon: Are You Going to be the One?
The Blasters: Long White Cadilac
Blur: Song 2 (Song came on the radio in LA after the two historic defeats of Nebraska in Brown's first two years)
Ray Wiley Hubbard: Screw You, We're From Texas

 

[Hornius Emeritus]

Obla-Di, Obla-Da by the Beatles


What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong

 

[Knoxville-Horn]

Good one with Louis Armstrong...

I was a freshman at UT when Shiny, Happy People came out. Though, that is not my type of music, I always think about that wonderful first year at Texas.

I'd also add, It's the End of the World As We Know It by REM.

 

[VacantlyOccupied]

Greatest feel-good song of all time

 

[Smurfette]

Ya know... The one that always gets me is that "I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more...." Don't know who it's by. Always makes me smile though

 

[jmatt]

I agree on the Archie Bell and CCR songs..
The Moody Blues - For My Lady and Nice To Be Here
Canned Heat - Goin' Up The Country
No Particular Place To Go by chuck Berry
Tom T Hall - I Like Beer
The Young Rascals - A Beautiful Morning and Groovin
The Turtles - She'd Rather Be With Me
Any one of several songs by Bare Naked Ladies and They Might Be Giants.

Oddly enough, "The End of the Line" by the Traveling Wilbury's was the first song that came to mind.
