I mean songs that you can't help smiling when you hear them, not necessarily because they are funny, but because they instantly bring you a real feeling of happiness (and sometimes you can't explain why).

The ones that I can think of are:

Effervescing Elephant - Syd Barrett
La Mer - Little Rabbits
Insensatez - Antonio Carlos Jobim
Le Bikini - The Wedding Present
The Girl From Ipanema - Antonio Carlos Jobim/Astrud Gilberto
Blitzkrieg Bop - Ramones
Be My Baby - The Ronettes
Dandy - Kinks
Phenomenal Cat - Kinks
Lola - Kinks
Apeman - Kinks
I'm Sticking With You - The V.U.
After Hours - The V.U.
Satan Gave Me A Taco - Beck
Buenas Tardes Amigo - Ween
Vicar In A Tutu - The Smiths
Making Plans For Nigel - XTC
Havalina - Pixies
Poupée De Cire, Poupée De Son - France Gall/Serge Gainsbourg
