That's what I think too, Mari. I am an oldie so my love for music was born in the late 60's and early 70's. The time I call The Revolution. lol

I also find some songs take me back to a very specific time in my life.

Music generally is so evocative, reminding us of friends or relationships or where we lived when we first heard it, etc..

One song that does that for me very much is a song by Billy Thorpe called "It's almost Summer". Just have to listen to the beginning of it and I'm off on the sand in the sun watching the ocean maybe eating an icecream or drinking pineapple juice and smelling like coconut oil. The damage we did to our skin! ugh.

In my life, I actually think the 80's had a lot more "happy" [Pop] songs than the 60's and the early 70's but then a lot of the music I listened to was termed "alternative" or "underground" back then. We used to buy a lot of our records from rare music stores who imported music that wasn't played on radio here at the time. It is now of course.

Sorry for the ramble...

p.s. Frente's song is Accidentally Kelly Street

Paul Simon's Graceland is happy song to me.
Jo Jackson's Steppin' Out
The Bangles had some upbeat happy pop tunes. "Just another manic monday".
Karma Chameleon by Culture Club still makes me happy
Belinda Carlyle's Heaven is a Place on Earth
Kylie Minogue's Dancing Queen

I think it's a real shame that people viewing YouTube videos make such rude and crude comments. I've got to the stage I just can't post some songs I like because people have made such lewd comments underneath the videos.
