Happy music...

Prokofiev's Symphony No. 1 (the "Classical Symphony") would certainly be high on my list.

Don't forget Mexican Polka!

Surf guitar music, beach boys, b52s, leroy anderson, beatles/mccartney,
vintage chet atkins, buck owens, a lot of 50s and early 60s pop hits,
before kennedy, vietnam, watergate, etc. When things got heavier.

Go to allmusic. Com and check out music breakdowns by mood.

We'll be alright by travie mccoy, we no speak americano by yolanda be
cool.

Arrival of the queen of sheba by handel, joy by apollo 100.

Saturday morning cartoons greatest hits remakes cd by various artists.

I'll second Al's nomination of the Prokofiev Classical Symphony. Also, I find Hindemith's Symphonic Metamorphosis of Themes by Carl Maria von Weber to be a fun piece to listen to.

I like the way you think, Mapman! And you offered up some really great ideas. I particularly like Surf music, and my favorite band of that genre are The Mermen. Folks can get a listen to their stuff by going to the Archive.org....

PS: The Sat. morning cartoons music sounds like a great idea! I will be checking those out very soon...
