What's the happiest song ever?

For me, at the moment, it's "Autumn Almanac", by the Kinks (from 1967) - it comes over like Ray Davies' response to the Beatles "Good Day Sunshine". I recently re-discovered it (good timing, eh?) and it always makes me smile even though the "nights are fair drawin' in" (as my dear dead Grandad said) and the freezing darkness that is winter (and the S.A.D. that it brings) is just 'round the corner! All together, everyone! -

"I like my football on a Saturday,

Roast beef on Sundays, all right.

I go to Blackpool for my holidays,

Sit in the open sunlight"

Failing that example of an aural anti-depressant, try Acid Reign's frenzied take on "Hangin' On The Telephone", the Divine Comedy's "Becoming More Like Alfie", the Kinks again with "The Village Green Preservation Society" or "Self-Preservation Society" by Quincy Jones etc. from the original Italian Job soundtrack.

PS Contrary to belief I am NOT a Mod!
