Music is a mood-altering substance. Metal can make you rage. Hip-hop can make you swagger. And Christmas music can make you feel as warm and fuzzy as a Santa sweater. But then there are also emotions that cross genres: the sad-bastard break-up ballads, the rage-against-the-machine protest song, the chilllllll relaxing jam, and—for the purposes of this specific playlist—the powerful, uplifting ditty.

This collection of the 50 happiest songs of all time is guaranteed to put a big, stupid grin on your face—or at least melt a bad mood. And if you’re surly that one of your favorites didn’t make the cut, well, then you really need this playlist.
