Smile by Uncle Kracker. It's kind of cheesy, but its a song on one of my son's annual slideshows, so whenever I hear it, it makes me think of him as a toddler.

Do not laugh at me when I recommend "Something that We're Not" by Demi Lovato. It's really peppy.
Also: "Wake Me Up" by Avicii.
And: "Timber" by Pitbull (feat. Ke$ha. Or is she just Kesha now?)

The mixed-artist play list I turn to for a pick-me-up is the one that has songs on it from my Zumba class that aren't all Zumba songs:
* The Way You Make Me Feel (Michael Jackson) * Don't Stop the Party (Pitbull) * Cupid Shuffle (Cupid) * Locked out of Heaven (Bruno Mars) * Country Girl (Luke Bryan) * Yeah 3X (Chris Brown) * No Parking on the Dance Floor (Midnight Star) * Say Hey I Love You (Michael Franti) * Haven't Met You Yet (Michael Buble) * Save the Last Dance For Me (Michael Buble) * Good to Be Alive (Jason Gray) * Just Dance (Lady Gaga) * Hold Me (Jamie Grace) * Sexy & I Know It (LMFAO)
In fact, I may just turn on these tunes right now!!

I've just discovered the band Plain White Tee's. Hey there Delilah, rhythm of love, and 1,2,3,4 are all fun, upbeat songs. They are on my happy song playlist. I'm on my phone so it's hard to go back and forth between the board and my playlist right now, but I'll come back later and list some of my other happy songs.

Just looking through my music and realised most of it is associated with happy memories but it certainly isn't happy in its own right. Time to change that! Thanks for the ideas :-)
Some of my very few include Defying gravity - Wicked soundtrack Forever in blue jeans - Neil Diamond Rock Me - ABBA

I love this thread! I would add shakira, hips don't lie or the Africa song.
Her music always makes me want to dance.
