Three Little Birds by Bob Marley is mine too. It came on the radio when I was going into labor with dd and I sang it to myself quite a bit during that time.

Three that come to mind:

"Groove (is in the Heart)" by D-Lite (?)
"With a Little Luck" by Wings and
"And She Was" by Talking Heads

[Lousli]

"Come on Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners
any song by Erasure, pretty much
"I want candy" Bow Wow Wow

I "Come on Eileen" too. Unfortunately, I can only make out about 25% of the words. My other fav song is "Love Shack" by the B52s.

Oh the magic of the internet! Just do a Google search for "Lyrics Come on Eileen" and you'll find out every word! I know, because I did it!

[Snowdrift]

Tons, but especially "Eyes of the World" by the Grateful Dead. Also "The Wheel" and "St. Stephen."

I don't think St. Stephen is sposed to be a feel good song but there's just something about it...

Incidentally the story goes it's about Stephen Gaskin, Ina May's other half.

The weirdest one though is "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot. DH and I share this one. Weird to have a feel-good song that is a true story about a horrible shipwreck and people dying, but I think it's the old bard-like story-telling cadences of it and the quintessential Michigan-ness of the song that makes us live it. It just feels so homey and belonging-ish. Still weird though that we put it on to feel good!

"Somewhere Over the Rainbow"....sung by IZ.
