What's your favorite happy luuuv songs?

A classic! I don't care for the opening verse, though. Why so negative?



"All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?


"I look at you and it feels like paradise
You got me spinning, got me crazy, got me hypnotized
I need your love, I need you closer
Keep me begging, keep me hoping that the night don't stop
I wanna be contigo
And live contigo,
And dance contigo
Para have contigo
Una noche loca (una noche loca)
Ay besar tu boca (y besar tu boca)"


Sometimes it's good to be a little bad.

 In my opinion this has to be the best 'karaoke-friendly' happy love song on the planet ever!
Catchy little tune, too!
Hope you all enjoy and have a good grin!

This young man has the most beautiful voice. His Italian songs are even better

A Chrissie Hynde classic, rating a 10 on the happy-bouncy scale.

These two selections induce eye rolls among those I know, but oh well, I just have such a soft spot for them:
My favorite happy love song lyric is "Haven't Met You Yet" (by Michael Buble). I also really like the sound and lyric of "Everlasting Love" by Howard Jones (and many of his other songs, too).

And I discovered the good old Celtic tradition of love songs a decade ago--love those now: "Star of the County Down," etc.  (There's such good stuff to be found when you go exploring!)

I never really thought of that song as a love song, but I guess it is. Come to think of it, the Irish seem to have had an interesting take on the concept of love songs. Most that come to mind would not be happy to me, like "The Black Velvet Band" or "Eileen Og" or "Captain Kelley's Kitchen," but they are still set to happy-sounding tunes! "The Fields of Athenry" would be a sad one in word and tune. I guess even something like "Lannigan's Ball" could be seen as a bit of a love song:

"They were doing all kinds of nonsensical polkas
Dancing around in a whirligig,
But Julia and I soon banished their nonsense
And tipped them a twist of a real Irish jig!
Boys, that girl she really got mad
And we danced so you thought that the ceiling would fall..."

It looks like many of the love songs in this tradition are not of the sappy, wooing type, but were intended more to excite and arouse. (You gotta love those Irish!) "Red-Haired Mary" is probably the happiest one that comes to my mind.

"We rode through the fair together,
My black eye, and her red hair,
Smiling gaily at the tinkers,
And b'God we were a handsome pair!"

Lol!

Just for fun.  For the love of beer.  If you like beer, you'll "love" this.

I love the old-fashioned playfulness of this one:




"Die Sünde lockt
Und das Fleisch ist schwach
So wird es immer sein
Die Nacht ist jung
Und der Teufel lacht
Komm wir schenken uns jetzt ein"

"Sin, it calls
And the flesh is weak
So it shall always be
The night is young
And the devil laughs
Come drink [and dance] with me"

"She's a rebel, she's a saint,
She's the salt of the earth, and she's dangerous.
She's a rebel vigilante,
Missing link on the brink of destruction.
From Chicago to Toronto
She's the one that they call 'ol' whatsername.'
She's a symbol of resistance,
And she's holding on my heart like a hand grenade."
