No, that list is probably not exhaustive, but it's all I can think of right now.

Thats an eclectic mix

[Foochar]

Wow, thats quite a list. Theres a level of incongruity to seeing a Superchic(k) song on the same list as an Eminem song... Of course, no more so than a Superchic(k) song during National Lampoon's Van Wilder.

Mine

[norwoodites]

Like a Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan
That Smell by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Re:Mine

[Liora]

Right on! I completely forgot Mrs. Robinson... but I prefer the Lemonheads cover. Also, I forgot about Wooden Ships by CSNY, and Pinball Wizard! And although Light my Fire isn't my cup of tea, Break on Through is, and then not Hotel California but Take it Easy! And of course! Thick as a brick, all 60 minutes of it!

Rosa Parks?

[sielwolf]

OutKast: ...Back of the Bus...

Do you mean "Rosa Parks"? "Ah, hah/Hush that fuss/Everybody move to the back of the bus/Do you want to slump and bump with us?/We the type of people makin' the club get crunk"

that's a lot of happiness

[subgeek]

probably topping my list is aphex twin's tune, acrid avid jam shred. it is so beautiful. closely following are many they might be giants tunes. fantastic plastic machine is pretty happy, too.

music in general makes me happy, at least music that i like. that's mostly electronic things, from orbital to vnv nation to haujobb to kmfdm to skinny puppy (and many others). but i enjoy rock and punk from the pixies to the jesus lizard. in classical i like the romantic period, particularly liszt and chopin and their piano works. but i like others, too.

but who am i kidding. i'm not as diverse as i make it sound. 90% of the time i pick electronic stuff.

Some other good songs

[sielwolf]

Hmmm. Happy songs... I guess songs that just put that bounce in your step, right? I guess I have a few:

Down, Lifer
Corrosion of Conformity, Albatross
Iggy Pop, Lust for Life (although I don't understand how people think this is a "light" song since he's talking about celebrity excess)
Beastie Boys, Sabotage
R.L. Burnside, Snakedrive
Depeche Mode, Never Let Me Down Again
Kool Keith, Living Astro
Ol Dirty Bastard, Shimmy-Shimmy Ya
Lyrics Born w/ Poets of Rhythm, I Changed My Mind
Busta Rhymes, Woo-hah
the Rolling Stones, Under My Thumb
Sam & Dave, Hold On I'm Comin'
Outkast, BOB
Aphex Twin, Digeridoo
King Kong, Trouble Again

I guess that's it. I'm usually not into happy songs. Things that get my venom up I enjoy more. Eh. Or maybe I can't think of any.

Re:Some other good songs

[Liora]

Yeah, I meant Rosa Parks. Wow. I completely forgot about Sabotage and Lust for Life. There's also another song off the Trainspotting soundtrack that I like... I don't remember who it is... Mile high or something.

Re:Some other good songs

[red5]

Mile End by Pulp.

"... Now were living in the sky. I never though I'd live so high. Just like heaven if it didn't look like hell. The lift is always full of piss. the fithfloor landing smells of it. Not just on friday every single other day. Then all kids come out tonight. They kick a ball and have a fight and maybe shoot somebody if they lose at pool. ooh it's old and thats alright yes it's mile end.

Eminem

[Some Woman]

Interesting that he makes your list, but I will agree "Without Me" is a great song. It's the funniest thing he's written so far. I find that the songs most likely to make my Happy List are those that are silly/amusing- like "Peaches" by Presidents of the USA or "Istanbul, not Constantinople" by everybody's favorite band o' silliness, They Might Be Giants.

I like moody songs.

[red5]

I'm happy enough by myself.

Massive Attack: Karmacoma, Eurochild, Better Things, Inerta creeps, Disolved girl, Angel, Lately, or anything by them really.
WayOutWest: Mindcircus, UB Devoid, Call me, The Fall.
Tricky: Feed me, Piano, Hot Like a Sauna, Black Coffee.

As far as happy songs go currently I just can't stop listening to "Get down" by The Jungle Brothers.

Re:My Random Song List

Woohoo... And in alphabetical order too... this guy is a genius...

Thanks for posting to my journal Spekkio.

Is "Softer To Me" the really good one that we like... track 15 or something? Oh! And where did you get Lotrel? I forgot all about the Echoing Green and Delirious! Oof, time to edit again...
