[30 Day Song Challenge: Alternative Nation Edition] Day 9 - An alternative song that makes you HAPPY 😊😃
DAY 9 of the 30 Day Song Challenge, alternative music styles!
Let’s see all those Shiny Happy People out there! What song is guaranteed to put a smile on your face & get your mood feeling mighty fine???
Each day I’ll post the challenge and you share some of your favorite alternative & indie songs that meet the challenge!
Cake - Love You Madly never fails to put a smile on my face.
A bunch of Cake! I might have picked Stickshifts and Safetybelts.
That’s by far my favorite Fashion Nugget track! When it pops up on shuffle it’s a forced sing-a-long. There’s no other option.
Italian Leather Sofa and Sheep Go To Heaven!
I love Cake. Have you heard Cheekface? Their deadpan vocal delivery and absurb lyrics often remind me of Cake.
Dead Milkmen - Punk Rock Girl - My cool older cousin introduced me to the Dead Milkmen before Beelzabubba came out and gave me his Bucky Fellini tape. So this song inspired some fond memories anyway, but then it's also just so damn good. Absolute classic.
This band will always put me in a good mood, especially anything from Eat Your Paisley, Bucky Fellini, or Beelzebubba. I can be in the darkest, most depressed mindset and this band will never fail to cheer me up.
absolute classic!
Watching the video this morning, I think this was actually a really formative musical moment for me. Super catchy, slightly subversive, kind of awkward & nerdy bands/songs have appealed to me ever since. I'd say without even knowing it, this song really paved the way for a love of power pop.
I have no idea how I deleted my comment....

The New Pornographers, Falling Down The Stairs Of Your Smile.
Ooo!!! NP! Yes. For me from them, the song “Mass Romantic” gets me boppin’ hard!
@ren @BonesOfTheMoon I love The New Pornographers and they put on a great show. I got to see them live with nearly the full lineup. I can't remember who was missing, but Neko Case was there.
Damn, I haven’t listened to The New Pornographers in years. Now I know what I’m listening to the rest of the day.
The new album is a vibe.
...and somehow I deleted my comment and all the replies. Cool cool cool.
Repost.

oh no!! it's all good.
Hmm I still see your original comment and the replies on my end. It might be instance dependant
Yeah, I think once it goes out it can't be deleted from other instances, just my own.
Birdhouse in Your Soul by They Might Be Giants. No reason really. It's just fun.
oh my god, yes. So many TMBG songs would work!
Happy street party vibes with this one.
can - you doo right
There are a few kinds of happiness, so here are a few songs:
- "A Little Bit Of Love" by Weezer (General happiness)
- "One Way" by Levellers (Anarchic happiness)
- "Pork and Beans" by Weezer (Self-love)
- "The New Year" by Death Cab for Cutie (Not really sure how to explain)
- Anything by "Weird Al" Yankovic (Comedy)
I don't tend to listen to much happy music, as it turns out, so I ended up going through my entire library and making a playlist, which you can find here.
No idea what volkiano means but Remi Wolf's music is always fun
I just shared Woo! in the community - love Remi!
Not so much a song as an entire album. The Courtneys II by The Courtneys.
nothing wrong with a happy album!
The song is nothing but a blast to sing and dance to, makes me deeply happy!
"Cha Cha Cha" by The Little Ones
This is great. Will be listening to them some more today.
it's just insanely catchy
Nothing to Fear, by Depeche Mode
