I'd like some recommendations on happy music. Not just happy hardcore (which I personally love), but happy tunes from any genre, with uplifting lyrics and almost unbearable optimism that could be featured on DDR or anything related to hopping Japanese schoolgirls and candy kids. I'm cheese tolerant, by the way.

Examples:
Atari Teenage Riot - Kids are united
Reset - Wings of love
Bang! - Shooting Star

edit: I'd like to stick to electronic music just for the sake of it, if possible

Cheers mate

By the way, I'm looking mostly for electronic music (I forgot to mention this, shame on me ), although I know how happy that tune from REM can be

"Shiny happy people rolling and shiny happy people rolling...."

Flock of Seagulls - I Ran
Yello - Oh Yeah (aka The Duff Man Theme)
A-Ha - Take On Me

I always find these 80s hits to make me smile


The Japanese have a lot of their own masterstrokes when it comes to happy music. Need I say...

Utada Hikaru - Travelling

This song, and the accompanying music video, will make you want to travel! It's SOOO unbelievably catchy and well-produced, and unique-sounding too. Why can't we have more pop on this shores like this?

Speaking from personal experience.
