OK, so I'm listening to Pandora Radio and my creatively named "The Fray Radio" station. I've run through The Fray, John Mayer, The Goo Goo Dolls, Five for Fighting, the like. It got me thinking. What's the best feel good song? These men make their living through making songs that are there for you to blow off some steam.
I, for one, am going to be completely unoriginal. Sorry. I've been going into the WWE sections and their eye raping amount of "Shelton vs. Rock for WM 26!!!" threads. Anyway, I nominate "Don't Worry. Be Happy." by Bobby McFerrin.

I believe one of the biggest travesties to happen in musical history is when people give Bob Marley the credit for this song. Bob Marley was great, no lie. But Bobby McFerrin deserves every bit of credit for this song. I defy you to listen and NOT smile at the very least. I always laugh when he says "Look at me! I'm happy!" It's just plain hilarious.
So. Is there a song out there that makes you happy? Is it better than "Don't Worry, Be Happy?" I hazard a guess it's not. Stake your claim.
