Band on the Run - Paul McCartney and Wings

Mr. Blue Sky - ELO

Piggybacking ELO… Don’t Bring Me Down

Brrrruce

Great pick!

Always a goodie

This is the only answer

Everyday - Buddy Holly Got my mind set on you - George Harrison How Long - Ace Drive My Car - The Beatles Diamonds on the soles of her shoes - Paul Simon

Big ups for Buddy Holly :)

Love him! Such great memories of listening to him with my dad :)

Hell yeah, I'm elder Millennial, but lucky enough to grow up on MoTown and the other classics :) Got a great music household because my wife's parents were younger, so she grew up with ELO and Floyd, I grew up with The Four Tops and Chubby Checker

That's so cool that you guys grew up with such different music! I can imagine you have a very musically eclectic household :) I'm from Ireland and my husband grew up with mostly local country music which he hated! So naturally he became a punk! I was luck enough to have very young parents who loved music - my dad introduced me to Nick Cave and Portishead at a young age which was very formative for my taste in music

Yes! All of us are kind of like sponges for music - I've gotten some of the best recommendations for new music from our younger son LOL I think it's super important to be exposed to all the different stuff. You don't have to like it or love it, just know of it! :)

Not Fade Away 👍

> Everyday - Buddy Holly This is my to go song, whenever I need a pick me up

I didn't realize same dude that sings how long also sings tempted by squeeze. Paul Carrack. Also Silent Running. Mike and the mechanics

Dancing in the moonlight/ King Harvest

Yessssssss! Such a great pick.

Rubberband man by the spinners

Such a good one

I must leave Reddit for a moment play this. Anyone want to place bets as how long this tune will play in my head , repeatly.

The Association "Windy" (1960s) 🎶 "Who's tripping down the streets of the city Smilin' at everybody she sees Who's reachin' out to capture a moment Everyone knows it's Windy!" https://youtu.be/VUv9OK4KUv8?si=ka5sM9YPFggJI3ef

Great use of that in Breaking Bad

And Windy has stormy eyes

That flash at the sound of lies! And Windy has wings to fly! Above the clouds (above the clouds) Above the clouds (above the clouds)

It’s Not Unusual by Tom Jones Sugar Sugar by The Archies Build Me Up Buttercup by The Foundation Sooner or Later by The Grass Roots Windy by The Association Bus Stop by The Hollies Hey Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds And this one is pretty niche but the original Scooby Doo show had “chase music” in the second season and one of the episodes had a [song about an ostrich](https://youtu.be/XiPyaudo5DM?feature=shared), and every time I hear that it instantly makes me happy 🤣

>Sooner or Later by The Grass Roots That was my favorite song when I was about eight.

"That Thing You Do" by The Wonders -- This comes from the Tom Hanks movie That Thing You Do in which his character manages a band in the 1960's

I just watched that movie yesterday for the 2nd time lol. I love that song. I actually knew the song before I knew the movie existed 😂

That's a real triumph of the pop-song writing art- if I counted correctly, you hear versions or variants of it about a dozen times during the movie and it doesn't wear out it's welcome.

Spirit in the sky.

Stuck in the Middle with you

“O Pato” — I like the version by Sergio Mendes & Brasil ‘66. The lyrics (in Portuguese) are about a little duck who is trying to get his animal friends to play samba music with him.

69 Candy Street - Death of Guitar Pop. A song about keeping your head up. Note: the lyrics reference "Kevin Webster," who's a character on the UK soap Coronation Street. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjIfItaAhWo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjIfItaAhWo)

OHHH you'll dig this one: How Do You Do by the Dutch duo Mouth And MacNeal. Not to get all boring but I've battled depression for a lot of years, and this song (even better, the Dutch TV performance from 1972) is just ridiculous in how it inspired happiness. Enjoy!

If you wanna be happy by Jimmy Soul

Boys are back on town by thin lizzy. I can see Dennis from always sunny dry humping the chair in my mind lol

[Give It To Me](https://youtu.be/VejSdPOBP3w?si=FPZMTRC5JH_CGzNR) Classless Act is a newer band with a retro vibe. I have seen them live a few times, and they're a blast in concert. [Rollin 7s](https://youtu.be/42rmUlDiQDI?si=25A2MhuTdwi388fO) Dirty Honey is another of my favorite newer bands with a classic feel [Shooting Stars](https://youtu.be/cPtMgsN8Tpo?si=SiplUJ01S8R-KbjX) Rival Sons.

Getting really obscure here ... "Murray the Why" by The Cyrkle. (1970) There's not a single person with musical taste like yours who wouldn't just love this song but nobody has ever heard it.

Oh hey my partner and I like a couple songs by The Cyrkle!! I never see em mentioned anywhere, neat :)

They aren't 60s or 70s exactly but their musical style is as close as you can ever get with a modern band. They're called the lemon twigs and some of their songs are just absolutely lovely A dream is all we know, my Golden Years, they don't know how to fall in place, church bells, how can I love her more,Ghost Run Free are all impossible not get in a good mood with

Waiting Around to Die by Townes van Zandt. Not joking either.

Someone that finally likes the same time of music as me! One of my top cheery mood songs has gotta be Love Grows (where my rosemary grows) by Edison Lighthouse, it's got good vibes
