When I saw Sly and the Family Stone I figured it had to be I Want to Take You Higher - or this one. You definitely got me!
This was a go-to mood lifter back in the early 70's for MeanDean. I mean, the song TITLE is "MAKE ME SMILE!!"
Mrs. Velo had this set up as her alarm wake up song for about a year and frankly it never got old. It just put you in the right frame of mind to start your day.
Good thread idea...
A George Harrison one (previously mentioned) that is infectious and upbeat:
Some Weezer (this or "Island in the Sun" both qualify):
I have infected my daughter's brain with this song, we both love it:

This song is so bright and jangly and Malkmus is having so fun with the lyrics it's hard not to be happy. Plus it has the cathartic yelling at the end.
Most of the Grassroots and Gary Lewis & the Playboys songs will get me singing along (which has a bonus effect of making me happy). But the best one is this song from my era (OUR era, MeanDean) that was on Youtube a few years back as part of "Highway Singalong". Just look at how it makes everyone he passes smile & sing along!
My favorite all time Chicago song is 25 or 6 to 4. It has a similar effect on my mood. Also my favorite song to play in the ISU Pep band.
Side note:
I think 70s Chicago and 80s Chicago should be considered separate bands. Peter Cetera power ballads are a far cry from the original Chicago sound. They sold a lot of records with it though.
And pretty much this entire mixtape. Oogah chaka...
Soundtrack of "The Big Chill" is stellar also...
My top 5 mood elevators in no particular order:
1. Zoloft
2 Paxil

The Beatles "Twist and Shout" is mine. I'm guilty of associating it with Ferris Bueller's Day Off every time I hear it.
Had never heard of these guys until I saw them in concert. I think this was the one that Velo made me guard a locked door for. Don't remember the music because I was bored senseless by the time they came on.
This song didn't get any air time here in the Twin Cities. I actually heard it at Jack Trice as a pre-game tune years ago and thought, "Hey, I like that, who is it?" Found out, bought the vinyl.
