"Lido Shuffle" by Boz Scaggs - put me in a very happy frame of mind before I left the house.

Mr Blue sky hits the spot every time.

"Hang On In There Baby". Could anything be more UP.

For Once In My Life. Makes my heart bound.

by Buddy Holly.

Teenage Kicks - Undertones
Another Girl, Another Planet - The Only Ones
Walking on Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves (I know, I know)
Sweet Home Chicago - Luther Allison
Sweet Gene Vincent - Ian Dury
Angel - Aretha Franklin

by The Specials generally cheers me up.

Ghost Town also makes me smile but that's mainly because it reminds me of the church disco in 'Father Ted'.
"Please be upstanding for our national anthem......."

I`ll give you five that make me smile.
Do you realize? by The Flaming Lips
Happiness by The Blue Nile
A Glorious Day by Embrace
Miss Chatelaine by KD Lang
Cupid by Sam Cooke
And just thinking about The Proclaimers does the trick too. In a good way mind.

Katrina and the Waves' finest moment.

'Fill Your Heart' - David Bowie

Such a happy song. Always makes me smile. Then goes straight into 'Andy Warhol'; completely the opposite.

...by Crowded House makes the world seem like a better place for 3 mins or so..

(Trying to work out if I can get to Cornbury this year as I write!)

Other choices...
Most things from Bruce Springsteen and the Seeger Sessions band Live In Dublin work incredibly well - there's just a sense of pure joy in playing music coming from the stage.

And admittedly somewhat bizarrely and maybe a very personal taste - a really good live version of Ideoteque by Radiohead.

Yes - McAlmont and Butler
Beatles - And Your Bird Can Sing
GoGos - Our Lips Are Sealed

Stevie again and the Edwin Hawkins Singers.

All My Loving

She Loves You

Those early Beatles' songs never fail to lift the spirits.

My 3
Get Rhythm - Ry Cooder
Get Happy - Danny Wilson
Oranges and Lemons - Jools Holland with Suggs

Me and You Song by The Wannadies. It has a "na na na na" bit in it and everything.

something more recent, the sheer energy and spirit of this this lot always cheers me up , it also sung in pure nonsense which always helps, It has a tank division of riff and lot's of running about ie total pop. enjoy!

HAYSEED Dixie's version of 'I Believe In A Thing Called Love' brings a smile to my face every time ("Banjo!")
KATRINA & The Waves ditty is a perennial uppper.
JOHN Denver's 'Eagle And The Hawk' always makes me feel more open to the world.

Oh, and then there's Ian Dury's 'F***ing Ada' - perfect for playing when you've had a rough day and just want to let it all out.

by The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band

Avenue D 2D2F

If that doesn't get you smiling nothing will.

when I thought of
Genius of love - Tom Tom Club
I saw the light - Todd Rundgren
Oblivious - Aztec Camera

Game over I think

I don't know why, but Aphex Twin's 'Donkey Rhubarb' has me grinning like a simpleton every time. I think it's the steel drums.

DJ Format always sees me right for a smile - 'Ill Culinary Behaviour' is a song and title made for chuckles - and Hideki Naganuma's soundtrack to the old Dreamcast game Jet Set Radio is pure ear sugar, with added step-springage.

I'm a happy camper.

...that work for me, anyway:

...the last of which should at least bring a smile to our editor.

...I just can't help it.

Except when he says 'What if I die here?'', which gives me a twinge of sadness. This songs the double whammy!

Agree fully in respect of Yes by Lambert(!) and Butler and Hot Love by T Rex

I'd add in The Beatles 'Eight Days A Week', The Specials 'Gangsters', Madonna 'Cherish', and Teenage Fanclub 'Sparky's Dream'

There's ony one way of life and thats's your own, your own, your own......
The smarter the suit the better. never fails to lift. Thank you, Levellers.

"Up With People" by Lambchop... the big gospel choir harmonies towards the end mever fail to get me going.

High Fashion Queen - Chris Hillman and Steve Earle from the Gram Parsons Tribute

You Really Got A Hold on Me - Smokey's original, the fab four's cover or the version Mr Costello does in concert combined with Deep Dark Truthful Mirror. Here's an alternative version with Smokey being seduced by the letter 'U'

Move it On Over - Hank Williams having a ball in the dog house

Let's Talk Dirty in Hawaiian - John Prine says 'Aloha' from a ukelele Honululu sunset.

My Guy - the Temptations sing Smokey

The very fabulous "Miss Grace" - The Thymes

The BeGoodTanyas - reminding us that 'The Littlest Birds' sing the prettiest songs.

The best song ever sung by the best singer and with the trombone solo providing the best ever moment in music.

Tony Bennett - with the lines 'Fill my heart with song and let me sing forevermore' in Fly Me To the Moon.

Some songs of joy;

Your Loving Arms - Billie Ray Martin
April Skies - Jesus, Mary & Joseph
Upside Down - Diana Ross and Chic
Sitting on the dock etc - Otis Redding

Otis would always work, but it gains an extra edge by bringing to mind the marvellous Reeves & Mortimer sketch. Shame I'm not a Barry White fan.

Oh, and Afternoon Delight a la Anchorman. "Wow! We sound good!"

Get Up I Feel Like Being a Sex Machine

Wonderful, and never fails to bring a smile to my face

Zoom by Fat Larry`s Band (and all that sail in them) is my own personal Prozac (without side effects)

... but this time it's for 'The Intro And The Outro'

Walking the long miles home - Richard Thompson
American Tune - Paul Simon
Settled for less than they wanted - Ian McNabb

But can mine be Willie Nelson's version?

oh and definitely Stockholm Syndrome by Yo La Tengo, though i appreciate this might only work for me

Sweet Thing by Van Morrison does it for me. It's the repetitions of "I will..." at the start of each line (I know, I think too much), makes it all incredibly positive.

Also "Le Freak" by Chic and pretty much any Otis Redding has a similar effect....

Green Onions by Booker T and the MG´s always makes me smile and speaking of smiles, I Love to See You Smile by Randy Newman. I read that Mr. Newman claimed that this song made him the most money as it was used in some toothpaste ad.
Super Freak by Rick James also makes me giggle.

Illegal Smile-John Prine
Chirpee Chirpee Cheep Cheep Cheep-Middle of the Road
Wanker-Victoria Wood
Rebellious Jukebox-The Fall
The Vagina Song-Monty Phython
I'm only Sleepng-Beatles(Anthology)
and of coure "The Laughing Policeman"

....try feeling miserable while listening to it - impossible.
Oh, and "The Dry Cleaner from Des Moines" by Joni Mitchell

Can't understand why this wasn't a global smash....
