I'm looking for the happiest and most upbeat music possible. This is more or less what I'm going for. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=hT6L27n2ZtU) Any suggestions?

[Rye]

J-pop is where it's at, btw, but here are my own favorites:

Utada Hikaru - Keep Tryin'
Village People - YMCA
Moldy Peaches - Anyone Else
Wicked - Popular
Freezepop -Science Genius Girl
Uptown Girl - Billy Joel
Lily Allen - LDN
Regina Spektor - On The Radio
Smile.dk - Butterfly

Anything by Morning Musume, especially THE MANPOWER!!!, Jyosei Kashimashi Monogatari, and Koi no Dance Site (SEXYBEAMMM!!!!)

And even though no one will believe me, I think Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up is one of the most upbeat songs ever.

[Sergeant Hartman]

The Nature Anthem by Grandaddy is all I can think of at the moment.

[Madame Adequate]

Jean-Jacques Perrey - Brazilian Flower

[Quindiana Jones]

Jacques Brel - Madeleine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRCBpMmhrgg). Just don't look at the lyrics. :(

Of course I've got Rick Astley already... Whenever somebody asks me to burn a CD, I tack it on at the end to Rickroll them =P
And I've had Science Genius Girl stuck in my head since I watched Kerrigan's Big Invention. Took me forever to find out what the song was...

Well, I'll look into all of the songs mentioned so far... Thanks ^_^

*EDIT* Osnap, I need to get Hare Hare Yukai!

[rubah]

type into google:

"happy hardcore" or just "happycore"

The Barracuda by the 5, 6, 7, 8s

I first discovered this watching Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift. Great song.

[Ramza Beoulve]

This (http://youtube.com/watch?v=wox3gQrh1_Y), this (http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=d4FM2_t3ALo) and this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAbhJk4YJns) never fails :).

And I don't know why, but that video is epic :p.

[NeoCracker]

Some more Tiny Tim for you. :p

YouTube - FFVIII ~ Tiptoe Through The Tulips With Me (http://youtube.com/watch?v=t4ocYtQ93js)

[Necronopticous]

The <A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYoRScUO5CU">Titan Go King's</A> should do the trick.

[Jessweeee♪]

I love that song xD

[The Unknown Guru]

This. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9rrVZIlpJA)

Anything else by the pillows works, too.

[DMKA]

[Momiji]

Marisa Stole the Precious Thing (http://youtube.com/watch?v=1qS1kqhhebw)

One of my favorite IOSYS songs. It's also one of their most well-known ones.

[Madame Adequate]

Alright, some of these aren't as manic as some posted in the thread so far, but they never fail to make me feel awesome.

ReMix: Final Fantasy 'Warriors of Light' - OverClocked ReMix (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01339/)

ReMix: Marathon 'Neo-Pacificist' - OverClocked ReMix (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01373/)

ReMix: The Last Ninja '8-Bit Kamikaze' - OverClocked ReMix (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01072/)

ReMix: Zillion 'InsideTheRoadhouse' - OverClocked ReMix (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00674/) <- Giant win, never fails to work me up and make me air guitar like a spaz. Has the highest play count on my iTunes of anything. Yes, even more than Still Alive (Which is second place, with 51 plays :P)

ReMix: ICO 'Save Me (OCR Edit)' - OverClocked ReMix (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01056/)

ReMix: Space Harrier 'Disco' - OverClocked ReMix (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00009/) <- Actually basically any Space Harrier track or remix will fit the bill, it had one of the best soundtracks ever tbqh.

ReMix: EarthBound 'Bus!' - OverClocked ReMix (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00984/)

ReMix: Xenogears 'Chu Chu's Flight' - OverClocked ReMix (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00663/) <- Takes a bit to get going, but once it does... whoa. This can bring tears to my eyes, such is its power and optimism.

And later, if anyone likes, I can spam you with further awesome OCRemix tracks! :jess: Hope at least a couple of things there fit the bill.

FFVII: Yuffie's theme

FFX-2: Rikku's theme

Kingdom Hearts: Hikari (the song's bouncier in Japanese, I find)

[blackmage_nuke]

Oh monkeys, I forgot completely this one xD. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=wEFeoKOKJs8)

[Gogo]

Toy Soldiers by Martika always makes me happy.

But I am a sick bastard.

Whatever song that they use on The Simpsons (it's an original) during the land of chocolate scene where Homer is eating all the chocolate always gives me a smile. They use it in other scenes too.

EDIT: I found it in this YTMND. (http://homersimpsonlandofchocolate.ytmnd.com/)

[Lawr]

J-pop is where it's at, btw

BTW, this is how we awesome.
