#3: A Song That Makes You Happy (Becca)



YES. Obviously it's a bit cheesy but I don't think I've ever heard this song and not wound up smiling like an idiot. Odyssey and Oracle has to be one of the most uplifting albums there is - even when the lyrics dip into melancholy the melodies are almost consistently joyous, and this is quite possibly the point where all the merriment culminates and explodes into two minutes of pure pop. A silly, catchy, shamelessly celebratory paean to love and lovely couples, it's euphoric yet not entirely bereft of irony: Jean isn't the only girl in Jim's life, after all...
