I was thinking; if there's a topic "songs that make you cry", why wouldn't it be a topic named "songs that make you smile".?

songs that make me smile are Good Day Sunshine, Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, Hold me tight, She's like a rainbow (Rolling Stones) and a song from a Bosnian band named Plavi Orkestar.

so, which songs make you smile.? a-hard-days-night-george-10

Whatever happened to life that we once knew.? Where did we lose the touch, that seemed to mean so much.? Always made me feel so free … Buy, buy, says the sign in the shop window; Why, why, says the junk in the yard. sometimes, when I'm alone, I pretend I'm a carrot. http://obsessedwithbeatles.tumblr.com/ follow.! :3

a-hard-days-night-ringo-8 Why does Yer Blues make you smile?

The guitar work towards the end, before John's off mic vocal comes in, along with Ringo's drumming. Play it loud, real loud. Always makes me happy hearing that.

Octopus's Garden, Yellow Submarine ( a-hard-days-night-ringo-9 ), and All Together Now. And a song that makes me smile in a I-was-sad-but-now-they've-made-it-better way, then Hey Jude 100%! Especially singing along during the chorus.

Because the wind is high, it blows my mind.

Hey Jude (sorry guys), I was in that Beatle-less funk, like Skye, but when I heard on the radio (YAY!!!) I got back to Beatles.

I smile whenever I hear "I Wanna Be Your Man," because all I can think of during that song is Ringo's dumb dance that he does to it in Hard Day's Night!

It's hard to answer, because almost every time a listen to a Beatles song I smile…
Ok, maybe especially Good Day Sunshine, I Feel Fine, Got to Get You Into My Life…

Honey Don't. That song just makes me really, really happy. Ringo's vocals always put a smile on my face, I love the cheerful beat of the song, and the way he cues in the guitar solo by going "Rock on George!" is just adorable.

Really, most Beatles songs can make me smile. Though the ones that make me way happy are A Day In The Life, Hey Jude, Yesterday, Let It Be, Happiness Is A Warm Gun, IWTHYH, This Boy, She Loves You, Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite, any one of Paul's 'granny shit' songs, and Love Me Do to name a few..

And as far as non-Beatles songs go, it's Mr. Blue Sky(Electric Light Orchestra), Nothing But The Best and That's Life(Frank Sinatra), American Pie(Don McLean), The Best Day(Taylor Swift), and She's Got A Way(Billy Joel)

The Beatles' cover of Please Mister Postman always makes me smile because they sound so into it. They sound so young and fresh, and they really get into that Mo-Town shuffle groove of the tune. Especially love John's vocals. It sounds like he was really enjoying himself--like *he* was smiling when he recording it.

Using the random shuffle on my MP3, I will list other songs that make me smile, until the list gets ridiculous in its length (I mean there's a reason why I love the Beatles):

This Boy

A Dy in the Life

Good Morning Good Morning

Lovely Rita

I Don't Want to Spoil the Party (it's fun to sing)

Rain

Fixing a Hole (I know this is kid of hated by some Beatles fans but I love it)

For Me to You (la da da da da dum dum da)

Baby, You're a Rich Man

Happiness in a Warm Gun (obviously)

Hey Bulldog

All My Loving (also makes me want to dance)

Good Day Sunshine

I Feel Fine

Eight Days a Week (just try singing along *without* smiling--and go ahead and clap too, you know you want to)

I Saw Her Standing There (yeah, I want to dance to this one too)

Two of Us (this one means a lot to me)

I Want to Hold Your Hand (by all accounts I should be deathly sick of this one but it's eternally irresistible)

Yellow Submarine (don't lie--it makes you smile too)

Dear Prudence

Sexy Sadie (don't know why--it just does)

The Ballad of John and Yoko

And Your Bird Can Sing

Michelle

If I Fell

Revolution/Revolution 1

I'm Only Sleeping (kind of my personal anthem!)

Everyone's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey

Because

Mother Nature's Son

Across the Universe

Back in the USSR

Long, Long, Long

Come Together

Octopus' Garden

Strawberry Fields Forever

Blackbird

The Fool on the Hill

Magical Mystery Tour

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

With a Little Help From my Friends

Here Comes the Sun (actually this one can also make me cry)

Sun King

She Came in through the Bathroom Window

Here, There and Everywhere (really, it's just so lovely)

Hey Jude

All You Need in Love

Help! (may seem weird but it always seemed like an upbeat song to me)

Norwegian Wood (perhaps my favoritest of all-time favorite Beatles songs)

Ok, I'll stop…

I'm not a girl who misses much.

"It's All Too Much." It's a goofy, happy mess of sound, a psychedelic carnival. And it's George's. Stays in my head for hours, makes me happy.

a-hard-days-night-ringo-8 I love that song. It's so underrated, and it's LOVELY.

One of my favorite George songs.

It Wont Be Long. John sounds all happy and the band's playing is so enthusiastic and forward thrusting you cant help but be caught up in the joy of it.
