What better way to spend a day than to be Happy? With the rise of the mega-hit Happy from the Movie Despicable Me 2, we just had to create a list of Happy songs. Being happy is what every person strives for on a daily basis.

The quote “Happy Happy Happy” is also a popular saying from the TV show Duck Dynasty by Phil Robertson.

When you think of being happy, you may also think of smiling and relief from stress. You will also think of being delighted or pleased.

Best Happy Songs in Title
 

Check out my list below of happy songs. Each song will have the word happy in the song title. I am excluding all songs that reference a special holiday or birthday that reference the word Happy.

Please see the other song lists we have that feature those special days.

  1. There’s a Norwegian metal band called Trollfest who’s releasing an album next month called “Happy Heroes” Their is an original song (happy heroes) and two covers (Happy / Don’t worry be happy) that are on this album.

  2. There was this 1 song with happy in its title and it went like “Be happy, Happy” or maybe not I don’t really remember but it was really good, though I remember that its video of lyrics had a billboard used as a way to show the lyrics in that video… IDK if I will ever find that song again

    1. Hi Benjamin. Sorry, but I am not familiar with the song. Maybe a reader will know it?? Good luck finding it.

    1. Hi Julie. I find your comment quite comical – being so negative on a song list of happy songs.
