I think my all-time favorite happy song is "Shiny Happy People" by R.E.M! It's fun and has a love-for-everyone message.

feel good happy songs

MmmmBop by Hanson is a great happy summer song. I dare anyone to listen to this song and not feel good afterwards. Though its something of a guilty pleasure(and just mentioning it probaly dates me), Sugar Sugar by the Archies is another song that makes me feel good whenever I hear it. Happy Together by the Turtles is another feel good song from my youth that I still enjoy hearing today.
