Something I've been meaning to do for some time is compile a list of upbeat, positive songs. My list of songs and performers starts with:

  • Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive, by Johnny Mercer
  • What A Wonderful World, by Louis Armstrong
  • The Best Is Yet To Come, by Tony Bennett
  • We Are The Champions, by Queen
  • Don't Worry, Be Happy, by Bobby McFerrin
  • Ain't That A Kick In The Head, by Dean Martin
  • Top of the World, by Karen Carpenter
  • ???
Any other suggestions?

Most of Johnny Cash's album Songs of Our Spoil but especially Grandfather's Clock even though the main character dies there.

Also Sixteen Tons which may e negative but very upbeat.

I feel good - James Brown

And who can't feel positive and upbeat when they hear the opening seconds of 'Stayin Alive' by the Bee Gees
