And this idea, rather than something vaguely (but only vaguely) clever like my ideas usually are, is simple and direct. THESE SONGS ARE JUST JOY.

Bear in mind I don't listen to lyrics much. Buoyant, straight-ahead pop melodies are what we're going for.

What I have so far:

You Are The Light - Jens Lekman
Dirty Mind - the Pipettes
Huddle Formation - the Go! Team
Ban Marriage - the Hidden Cameras
Rough Gem - Islands
Letter From An Occupant - the New Pornographers
Wraith Pinned To The Mist And Other Games - Of Montreal
Mamma Mia - ABBA
Do The Whirlwind - Architecture in Helsinki
Put Your Hands Together for the Offbeat - Telefauna
White Collar Boy - Belle and Sebastian
We Say No - Great Aunt Ida
Lonely Postcards - Henri Faberge and the Adorables
On The Radio - Regina Spektor
Little Willy - Sweet

Yeah. If you know how these go, give me a hand and suggest some more. I haven't gone through my whole collection yet (those are just what jumps to mind) and I might add more later. Maybe not.

Basically….leave me comments, folk. I feel like some good internettin'.

PS. That Jens Lekman song is the reason I needed to make this list. Why is it so good?
