Songs to make you happy right now

“(If you’re wondering if i want you to) I Want You To” by Weezer

Get ready to jump up and down during the chorus.

“Say hey (I love you)”  by Michael Franti and Spearhead.

Turn it up and then go dance in the street.

“I gotta feeling”  by the Black Eyed Peas.

Queue this up when you need to get pumped, whether for a blind date or a PTA meeting.

“Don’t stop believing”  by Journey.

This is a classic, but anything that makes you close your eyes and sing at the top of your lungs with one fist clutched passionately to your chest will have a similar mood-boosting effect.

“Kodachrome” by Paul Simon.

A good reminder to live life in color.
