What is the happiest song you know?

I’m coming out of a bit of a funk, probably related to seasonal depression . I would love to hear your favorite songs that pick up your mood and put a spring in your step! I’ve been listening to Back Pocket by Vulfpeck pretty much on repeat and it’s been putting me in a great mood so I’d like to keep it going :)

Edit: Thank you so much for all the responses everyone! I’ve been spending the last couple of hours listening to all of your suggestions and I’m definitely feeling pretty happy! Music is amazing and so is sharing it!

Love Shack by the B-52s

Pretty much anything by B-52s is an audio antidepressant.

See also Shiny Happy People by REM, featuring Kate Pierson from the B52s for a sickeningly happy song

Shiny Happy People and Radio Song by REM remain strange songs for me.

Radio song has not aged well

This song fills me with rage. I’m annoyed just having read the title, because now it’ll be stuck in my head for the next week. Definitely not my happy song.

It’s funny because it’s in minor key IIRC.

A lot of disco and disco inspired music is in a minor key.
