Cheery, uplifting songs
That arent cliched, cheesy, or comedy. That means no weird al or dennis leary, no abba, etc.
Your favourite?
I think you'd have to go a long long way to beat

Re: Cheery, uplifting songs
Zoe - Sunshine on a Rainy Day probably hits the cliched category.
Edit:
Or Fine Young Cannibals - Good Thing as an alternative?

Re: Cheery, uplifting songs
Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow,
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out
I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face
Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out
Before I get out
Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings
Today is
Today is
Today is
The greatest day
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you
Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
That I have ever really known
ok... the CHORUS is very uplifting you cant normally understand billy during the verses anyway.

Re: Cheery, uplifting songs
The first one that came to mind is Voltaire - Anniversary
Could just be because I'm head over heels in love though.
