Product Description
Album Description
Following on from Sad Songs, Happy Songs shrugs off the bittersweet feel and draws on 'happy, feel-good' love songs. Track include the uproarious "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen, Van Morrison's sugar-sweet "Brown Eyed Girl" and OutKast's upbeat "Hey Ya!"

At last, an album to cheer the soul!! With all the 'sad song', 'love song' and 'music to commit sucide to' albums out there, finally an album to cheer us up and make us happy!!!
I got given "Happy Songs" as a birthday present, and after reading the playlist, thought it could be quite good.
When I played it, I found myself grinning like a cheshire cat, while taking a pleasant stroll down amnesia lane, and dancing round my front room like a looney, singing at the top of my voice, and not caring about the strange looks from the people walking past my window, and from my son!
Every song is indeed a 'happy song' and would cheer anyone up.
There is a good mix of songs from different decades and different syles of music, and unlike most double albums, both sides are as great as each other.
If I had to make a complaint, the only one would be that "Uptown Girl" didn't make it on to the album, as this is my all-time favorite 'happy' song, but as everything else about the album is fantastic - I'll let them off!!
Listening to "Happy Songs" really did make me happy, and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone - lets make the world a happy place!!

I love this double CD... so much that because the first copy I bought was slightly faulty on a couple of tracks... I reordered it from someone else. It's the sort of music you can play over and over, sing and dance along and not get tired of it.

Please note that this review relates to the compilation released in 2005 rather than the 2010 compilation with an identical title but very different track listing.
Britain is a great place for double-CD compilations on every conceivable theme and now we have a compilation of happy songs. Like many themed compilations, the musical styles vary considerably - you need an eclectic taste in music to enjoy every track here. Five decades of music are represented - the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties and the start of the new millennium. With all such compilations, it is possible to argue about what could have been included, but there is no doubt that every song here fits the compilation's basic theme.
I generally prefer the older tracks (this will surprise nobody who follows my reviews) but I'm pleased to see Kylie among the contemporary artists represented (with Can't get you outa my head). My favorites from the sixties are Brown eyed girl (Van Morrison), Happy together (Turtles), Higher and higher (Jackie Wilson), What a wonderful world (Louis Armstrong), Good vibrations (Beach boys), Build me up buttercup (Foundation) and My guy (Mary Wells).
From the seventies, my favorites are Don't stop (Fleetwood Mac - from their classic album, Rumours), December 1963 (Four Seasons), Lovely day (Bill Withers), Heaven must be missing an angel (Tavares), You sexy thing (Hot chocolate) and Sunshine day (Osibisa). Great tracks from the eighties include House of fun (Madness), Heaven is a place on earth (Belinda Carlisle), Walking on sunshine (Katrina and the waves) and Stuck with you (Huey Lewis and the news).
If you want a compilation that avoids all the sad songs that dominate popular music, this may be what you are looking for.
