Help me come up with some happy songs!

[Isawbumperkissingsantaclaus]

In an effort to snap myself of some increasingly frequent stroppy moods I have decided to create a CD of mood lifting songs that I can put on to stop myself stropping at poor DH.

Can you give me some ideas? I like to have a good sing and dance!

That is exactly what I have done recently, Isawbumperkissingsantaclaus. TO cheer me up and stop me moping/feeling homesick/cold/etc I've downloaded a load of 'happy music' on to my mp3 player and can now be seen walking around semi oblivious to my family, humming songs from my teenage years. Mostly it's latin stuff from the early 90s but I've also got:

Abba - Waterloo
N-Trance - set you free
Black Eyed Peas - My humps (OK not from my teenage years but it's still fun)
Spin Doctors - Two princes

It's the best therapy

Joy to the World - can't remember the artist - you know the one, begins "jeremiah was a bullfrog..."

Twist and Shout - the Beatles (you just have to imagine Ferris Bueller singing it

Macarena (you know you want to)

I Will Survive - Gloria whatsit

Tomorrow - Fleetwood Mac

okay I better stop before I get carried away

I want Olivia's list!

Thanks for all the great replies! I've taken some of your suggestions, I also did a bit of a trawl of the internet and this is my list so far (hmm not sure it's all going to fit onto one CD) - sorry it's not in a consistent format:

Take That - Could it be magic
Plain White Tees Hey there Delilah
Light my fire - will young
Beautiful day - U2
Club Tropicana - Wham
Grace Kelly - Mika
You're my best friend - Queen
Martha Reeves & The Vandellas - Dancing In The Street
Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On
Jackie Wilson - I Get The Sweetest Feeling

But it's no good asking me. If I am depressed, happy music makes me worse So Relentlessly cheerful.

Shut up and smile - bowling for soup

I heard Like a prayer and Respect on radio 2 this morning and remembered how good they were so I've added those to my list!

Hmm, may have to make 2 CDs

heard Hey Now (can't remember who by)at the dentist today...very difficult to keep still!

great thread BTW!
