music that makes you smile

Some great ones here. Tom Lehrer of course!
I love Cab Calloway, trad jazz, reggae, Strauss waltzes, Bix Beiderbeck, so much and so varied but all make me smile.

annifrance, I love Tom Lehrer, too, all his songs anarchic and funny.

3 Little Birds by Bob Marley.

Also love ‘Dancing in the Street’ - Mick Jagger and David Bowie

Love Glenn Miller too, just put ‘In the mood’ on now - used to do a line dance to it - happy days.

Heard ‘My boy Lollipop’ on desert Island discs recently - that made me smile.

ps BBevan - I've tried to like his songs, but find them very sad.

If you need to pick up your feet and get going, I forgot about this one:

We used to love Jake Thackray's Sister Josephine.

White Trash Wedding, by The Dixie Chicks. Love it ❤️

The mother in Dinner Ladies. Fabulous actress Julie Walters.

I know this is going to sound strange but I like Leonard Cohen . I always feel a lot better after listening to him .

I couldn't find the link in Welsh.
(Not offended).

Luckygirl ! I come from a Welsh speaking family, and I would find that song funny. Some people are very quick to take offence when none was intended. A Jewish character singing in Welsh. !

Oh so many to choose from...
National Express by The Divine comedy.
Christine by Miss X ( remember Christine Keeler ? )
Shut up by Madness with one of the best lines " I'm as honest as the day is long,the longer the daylight the less I do wrong".
Happy by Pharell is well up on the list. As soon as the song starts, I am smiling away to myself.
What a lovely thread. Thank You Fennel.

If I hear 'In the mood' by the Glen Miller band,it always makes me smile. Apart from that,anything by Thin Lizzy is guaranteed to bring a smile to my face,as I hero worshipped them as a teenager. -I'm just an ageing rocker

Thanks so much for posting the link to Allan Sherman
singing “Hello Muddah, Hello Fadder”
I loved hearing it again, and although had’nt heard it
since 1963, remembered all the words!!,

Love that Minimoon! Great post Fennel, you made (most) people smile today. Just what we need.

The Sick Note always makes me laugh out loud. The song about why Paddy's not at work today.

The laughing gnome always puts a smile on my face. Especially good right now ?

Anything from Charlie and the chocolate factory makes me smile and lifts the clouds off your shoulders ??

Oh thank you for that
I just love Bob Dylan but haven’t caught this number before

Gee! The OP asked what songs made us smile, not to criticise others’ choices. For myself, there are too many to name, but I must mention Queen’s Fat Bottomed Girls - love it!

I hope the"grumpy grannies" have settled down and are enjoying their day.
