        • I'm thinking it may be the image of the King of Carrot Flowers. Not the music, just the idea of a king who rules over flowers, that come from carrots, eaten by bunnies. Too much cutesy stuff. Maybe... Haha. Ah, and there's glasses too, and short hair. Now it's all been deconstructed. Oh no! :D

    I think most classic rock is pretty upbeat.

    SquizNutZip played at my first wedding. Not the actual band. Just their CD. Or MP3s if you were watching the wedding a few years later.

      Sarah McLachlan's music is so sad to me.

        Yes, her music is sad, But she has a great voice. And her songs are relaxing.

    Happy music! Duh! Okay. I like these few songs (they're Japanese, so I'm gonna throw in some facts)

    Pikachu Song (basically the Butterfly Song, but with Pikachu noises and the Pokerap, it is in English)
    Caramelldansen (aka Sugar Dance, Made by creators of Popotan, very engergetic, I prefer the Japanese version)
    Toi et Moi (appeared at the end of one of the first Pokemon movies, a Pokeshipping song)
    Dango Daikozoku (Made by creators of Clannad, very cute and sweet)
    Any Vocalid song (has Hatsune Miku and other characters, some examples of songs are The World is Mine Po Pi Po Triple Baka Nyan Cat ...and more)
    Nyan Cat (I never get tired of it, was actually a Vocaloid song)
    Misty's Song (Made by creators of Pokemon, a Pokeshipping song, light and calm)

    Umm... Oh yes! Every single one of the Pokemon songs.

    Hope this helps!

    • Actually, no. And if you see it because of the album cover it's not exactly my fault since I did change the illustration on the story before submitting and a glitch on IIN changed it back to this one.

    Michael Buble. Dayum that man has a sexy voice. His music puts me in a feel good mood- especially the song "I'm feeling good" :)

    Pretty much anything that resonates with the mood I'm having at the time. That's often kinda sad melancholic stuff but it makes me feel warm inside.

        • kingofcarrotflowers

          Yeah and it's so fucking long, and because it uses repetition it felt like a slog on the first listen but it was worth it I love it now.

          • Tommythecat.

            Yeah the first time you hear it you get "drained" from the repetition but after awhile you just sort of soak up the repetition and the texture of it. It's amazing turned up really loud, it's like some big epic journey. after I read your comment I had the urge to listen to it and I swear it felt too short!

    • I love it! Thanks. It's not exactly a happy song, there are some melancholic tones in it, and the video does make you think you can dance! Haha

  • What songs make me "happy"? None. I do enjoy multiple genres of music, though.

    Here are the two I am listening to at the moment:

    • Oh, I've always loved the Nina Simone song, but to me it feels more like a power song than a happy one. I like the other, never heard of him. Thanks.

    Anything Jeff Rosenstock has been on, especially the album "Three Cheers For Disappointment" by The Arrogant Sons of Bitches and the album "Vacation" by Bomb The Music Industry! which are definitely two of my top 10 favourite records right now. Also the song "Big Plans of Sleeping In".

    The song "I Don't Wanna Die" by 銀杏BOYZ, even though I'm not entirely sure what most of the lyrics mean.

    The album "Suburbia: I've Given You All And Now I'm Nothing" by The Wonder Years. I really enjoy all of their records but this one is the most clever.

    The "tracking rough" version of "Tired Of Sex" by Weezer.

    The cover of "Take On Me" by Cap'n Jazz, although I love the original too.

    The full music video for the song "Owner of a Lonely Heart" by Yes.

    The song "Dammit" by Blink 182, and the Frank Turner acoustic cover which only exists as a haphazardly recorded YouTube upload.

    All that music tends to make me smile like a twat. I could list more if I spent enough time on it. All of it is all punk or ska or pop punk, apart from that Yes song.

    • I have mixed feelings about this song, kinda happy kinda sad, Postal Service-ish, but gets a bit tiring from the repetitiveness. But it was nice to hear it, thanks.
