100 Songs That Will Make You Smile (40-31)

We have now gotten into the Top 40 of this countdown of 100 Songs to Make You Smile. These songs should make you show those pearly whites.

40. Say Hey(I Love You) – Michael Franti

This song is just so happy and awesome. It is simply fantastic. There is no other way to say it. I hear this song and it just is an instant smile. Hope it has the same effect on you.

39. Circle of Life

You can easily argue that this is the 2nd best song that has ever appeared in a Disney movie. It is the one song that might even be able to challenge the theme song. It is fantastic and makes you think of one of the greatest movies of all time. 

38. Good Vibrations – The Beach Boys

Just think about good vibrations. This is a great and happy song by the Beach Boys.

37. Mrs.Robinson – Simon and Garfunkel

As a kid I just loved this song because it had my name in it and I thought the song was about my mom. Now I know it wasn't, but I still think this song is great. This is one of the few songs though that I think the remake by the Lemonheads is better than the original. Still, I quite enjoy this song.

36. Never Let You Go – Third Eye Blind

This is one of the biggest songs that 3EB had. It is also one of the more upbeat ones with a pretty good message too. This song is great.

35. Your Grace Is Enough – Matt Maher

This is one of the best praise and worship songs there is. You can tell Jenna and I quite enjoy Matt Maher. The song is just really good.

34. Here Comes the Sun – The Beatles

Another great and happy song by The Beatles.

33. One Week– The Barenaked Ladies

Are those the right words? Not many people know, but everyone does know that they love this song.

32. DuckTales Theme

If you do not love this theme song, there is something wrong with you. Btw you are welcome for this song being stuck in your head the rest of the day.

31. Wagon Wheel - Old Crow Medicine Show

A lot of people now think this was Darius Rucker's song, but it was originally written by Old Crow Medicine Show. I am not sure if I prefer one version to the other actually, but I thought I'd put the original song on this countdown. One of the best country songs I have ever heard.

100 Songs That Will Make You Smile (50-41)

During this countdown, I have been releasing ten songs at a time that I think will make you smile. I have ranked them and the ones most likely to make you smile will be released last. Let's look at which songs have appeared so far before we get into the Top 50.
100-91
90-81
80-71
70-61
60-51

And now the top 50....

50. Wouldn’t It Be Nice – The Beach Boys

This song has such a joyful vibe to it as it just sounds happy. The words don't make me smile that much, but this song is just happy.

49. Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic – The Police

This is perhaps the best song that the Police put together. It is such pure greatness. The song also makes me think of my perfect wife and definitely makes me smile.

48. Washed By The Water - Needtobreathe

Do you think we enjoy Needtobreathe? This song is just amazing. It is very uplifting and hopeful as well.

47. I Want To Hold Your Hand – The Beatles

Easily my favorite song by the Beatles. It is so joyful.

46. I Have A Dream – Mandy Moore

The best part of one of Disney's best songs. Mandy Moore was fantastic as a Disney princess. My favorite part of the song and the movie is when big Vladimir has the ceramic unicorns.

45. If It Makes You Happy – Sheryl Crow

This song is more from when Sheryl Crow was more of a rocker than a pop artist. It is more aggressive than soak up the sun, but she does a great job with it. The song makes you smile and think about things that make you happy. Things that make you happy usually aren't that bad either, usually. People are a little too sad for no reason.

44. Rebels of the Sacred Heart - Flogging Molly

This song is much different than the majority of this list. However, it is also a better song than a lot of these other songs as well. Flogging Molly is a terrific band and everyone should enjoy these guys. They are just great. This song makes my whole family and my son thrilled and ready to go wild so it should do the same for you.

43. Happy Days Theme

This may be the best theme song ever. It makes everyone so happy and smile. I love it and you do to. You also love the Fonz and the rest of this show.

42. God Gave Me You – Blake Shelton

This song is pure perfection. It is just fantastic.

41. America, the Beautiful - Ray Charles

This song is so patriotic, fantastic, and amazing. Ray Charles was an absolute genius and killed it with this rendition of America, the Beautiful. This song should really be higher up on the list, but I was feeling quite patriotic today and wanted to post it now.

100 Songs That Will Make You Smile (60-51)

Today, we will finish off the 1st half of our countdown of 100 songs that will make you smile. These songs hopefully are bringing some additional joy into your life.

60. I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor

This song is great, but it was made to be ever better during the movie The Replacements. The song makes me smile slightly, but the Replacements scene is hilarious and has to make you smile.

59. Beautiful Day – Jamie Grace

This song is not as well known as the beautiful day song by U2, but it has a similar message. I love it and enjoy Jamie Grace's music in general. You should check it out.

58. Centerfield – John Fogerty

How many singers get their guitars enshrined at Cooperstown (the Baseball Hall of Fame)? I can only think of one and his name is John Fogerty. Look at that awesome baseball guitar that Fogerty is holding in the picture. The guy is a legend. This song is easily his best and everyone knows and loves it.

57. Soak Up The Sun – Sheryl Crow

What a fantastic song this is by Sheryl Crow. Such an inviting and summer feel to this song. 

56. I Wanna Be Like You – King Louie

This is the 2nd best song from the Jungle Book (my favorite Disney movie). The song always makes me smile and is my son's favorite song period. That has to make you smile when you see him dance to this brilliance.

55. Can’t Judge A Book – Bo Diddley

I think this is the greatest song of all-time. This guy is just plain brilliant and I love all his music. However, with this song he really hit the jackpot. If you don't own this song, you should buy it immediately. Fantastic and always makes me smile just by its sheer awesomeness.

54. All You Need Is Love – The Beatles

Another song that just explains itself and makes people happy.

53. Song 2 - Blur

Not a lot of people know the name to this song, but everyone knows it and loves it. It is really hard to not smile when this song comes on.

52. Zip A Dee Do Da

This song makes me think of Splash Mountain and Disney World. It makes me think of Brer Rabbit, when you think of that and the joyful nature of the song, it is impossible to keep a straight face.

51. Banana Pancakes – Jack Johnson

How can you not smile when thinking of Banana Pancakes? These things are just delicious. Add in a delightful melody and song by Jack Johnson and it is pure joy. Just pure awesomeness and a perfect way to close out or first 50. The top 50 will be coming your way in a few days....

100 Songs That Will Make You Smile (70-61)

We all need to smile. A couple days ago, I started posting a couple song titles that can help you out. These are 100 songs that will make you smile. Check out the other lists by clicking on the countdown tab at the bottom of this post. We will also do a recap soon, but for now, here are songs 70-61.

70. Pinch Me– Barenaked Ladies

I love how the Barenaked Ladies do their songs. The name may not make the band seem appropriate, but they have pretty toned down music. All of their songs have this crazy hook that most people don't know the words to and it sounds fantastic. Pinch me is another example of one of these hooks. Job well done by this band on this song. This song even makes you say underwear. Who doesn't laugh at that?

69. Jump Around – House of Pain

I will fully admit that I am not a fan of hip-hop music. That being said there are a few songs that I quite enjoy. One of the songs at the top of that list is Jump Around. This song is a stadium anthem and is something that gets most people psyched about competition. It does nothing but make people thrilled. I don't know most of the words besides Jump Around admittedly, but it sounds good.

68. CheersTheme

It's true that you always want to go where everybody knows your name. I started watching Cheers on Amazon Prime at night after Noland Jr. goes to bed if we have nothing else to do or watch. This show and song just make people happy. One of the greatest shows and themes of all-time.

67. Absolutely – Nine Days

This song is absolutely amazing, haha. I'd have to say that Nine Days is the best one-hit wonder band in my opinion. I actually loved this whole album, but only absolutely became a hit. This album though and the band are quite good in my opinion. Nine Days is one of my biggest guilty pleasures when it comes to music. Great band.

66. We Will Rock You - Queen

This is the stadium anthem of stadium anthems. Everyone knows it and everyone loves it. Nothing else needs to be said. 

65. Cruise – Florida/Georgia Line

This is one of the many brilliant songs by the duo Florida/Georgia Line. These guys are awesome and have appeared once on the countdown. Here they appear again with their biggest hit.

64. Beautiful Day – U2

"It is a beautiful day, don't let it get away." I mean that explains it all right? It's a beautiful day today and every day, get out there and enjoy it.

63. Footloose – Kenny Loggins

All the girls love the movie, although personally I am not a huge fan. Here is one thing I will admit though, even the guys love this song. Great song, not so great movie...

62. Keep Your Eyes Open - Needtobreathe

This song is one of the ultimate encouragement songs to me. It encourages you to look forward to brighter days ahead in the midst of a circumstance. The song is masterfully written and performed by Needtobreathe. We have already talked about this being our favorite Christian artist, but I will say it again. You need to check out Needtobreathe.

61. I Like It, I Love It – Tim McGraw

I personally am not a big Tim McGraw fan, but this song is fantastic. In fact "i like it, i love it, I want some more of it." Okay, a tad too cheesy, but this song is great and will make you smile.

100 Songs That Will Make You Smile (80-71)

A couple of days ago, I started a countdown of 100 songs that will make you smile, today I continue that countdown with songs 80-71.

80. Hold Us Together - Matt Maher

This song is one of our favorites. Jenna and I both love this song and even played it at our wedding. It is not only one of the best Christian songs, but best songs period. Matt Maher hit the jackpot with this song. Love will hold us together and it is all about love. Such a wonderful song.

79. Hey Jealousy – The Gin Blossoms

I saw the Gin Blossoms a few years ago and they put on a really good show. Even now long after their last big hits in the mid-90s, the Gin Blossoms are rocking it. Their biggest hit to date is this song, Hey Jealousy. Just the intro to this song makes you smile. My son even loves the Gin Blossoms and several of their songs. If it makes him go wild and dance, it should do that for you too.

78. Lazy Song – Bruno Mars

The lazy song by Bruno Mars is an unbelievable piece of music. Although I do not like overly lazy people, we all have those days we just want to be lazy. For him to turn this feeling into a song is quite smart. The fact that nobody has perfected it like this before Bruno is a little surprising though. This song sounds great too and is just happy chill music.

77. The Way I Am - Ingrid Michaelson

This is actually my favorite Ingrid Michaelson song. I like this song more than Everybody. Everyone should take someone else the way they are. Just take people the way they are and be happy. Unless they are lame....Just kidding, but not really.

76. When Will My Life Begin – Mandy Moore

Mandy Moore as Rapunzel is my favorite Disney Princess. I think she did a great job and the music is the biggest reason why. All of the songs in Tangled are absolutely terrific. There is not a song I don't like and they all make me smile. This is one of those happy smiling songs. In this song Rapunzel is wondering when he life will actually begin and she can start living it. The song is so upbeat and happy.

75. Beverly Hills - Weezer

One day I'd like to visit California as I have never been to the state. I'm not sure if Beverly Hills is where I want to go, but the state would be fun. Regardless of my desire to go to Beverly Hills, this song is so upbeat and fun. Makes me smile every time.

74. Round Here – Florida/Georgia Line

These guys are my favorite country artists and this is my favorite song by them. This song just makes me think of my hometown and the simple pleasure you get chilling with your best friends just relaxing. It is just another fantastic piece of music from the duo. Another fun fact that make me smile when I hear these guys is that the guy on the left went to FSU! Gotta take pride in our fellow Seminoles.

73. Here It Goes Again – Ok Go

If this song does not make you smile, the video sure will. This song was a mega hit and the video put it over the top. The dancing on treadmills during the video was so unique and the world was fascinated by it. Everyone knows this song and the video and it makes everyone happy.

72. Follow Me – Uncle Kracker

This song is pure brilliance. It is so easy going and fun. Nothing to worry about with this song either because it is so innocent. Uncle Kracker is definitely a favorite of this happy couple. His music is one of the many things we enjoy. This is one of many fantastic songs by this artist.

71. Be Our Guest - Lumiere

This is the happiest song from my sister's favorite movie. It is beloved by many and Jenna and I own it as well. This is easily the greatest part of the movie and they even named a restaurant at the Magic Kingdom after this song. A song that we all love. Be Our Guest is just an inviting masterpiece. There is no way this cannot make you smile.
