Happiest song ever?

Not prog, but check these out:
Helloween - Dr. Stein
Helloween - Rise And Fall
Helloween - Guardians (the chorus )
Helloween - Twilight Of The Gods (the opening melody)
Helloween - I'm Alive (the melody just before the last pre-chorus)
etc etc etc.....

"Helloween" is like a synonym with the word "happy".

The Beatles also did some very happy music occasionally.

"Sunshine" from Peter Hammill's first solo album "Fool's Mate". You can't get any happier. When he starts singing "lalala" it is ultimately happy.

Here the lyrics:

Oh, suddenly things begin to come clear in my mind
as I look into the land laid bare by your eyes;
E-S/M attractions are working behind my thought,
I can't help my feelings, the way that my emotions
are over-wrought.
         
CHORUS:
Good morning, sunshine!
You're all around my head,
Good morning, sunshine!
I'm ready to be led.
Good morning, sunshine!
You know how sad it makes me to see you unhappy
so smile, spread sunshine all around....
         
How sweet it would be to be chained by your side;
how sweet if you would strip my worried mind.
Your blonde/brown hair hangs down on you,
how I wish that it hung on me,
there's something in your allure, that makes me know I'll
never again be free.
         
CHORUS

Lalalalala lah lalalah.....
 
I'd like to run on the clouds with my liberty,
but for you I'd get hooked and float six inches mud-free.
The sight of your smile just makes me want to jump and clap;
the fact that you may be owed to someone else can't
entirely tight your trap.
         
CHORUS

AND ALL YOUR BAD DAYS WILL END!!   Damnit....this just makes me want to do nothing for the rest of my life and just have friends, my girl, and music.   Here is the music video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cpunw66xAY4   I saw the flaming lips in concert not too long ago. That was the greatest experience of my life. It was better than drugs, and better than sex.....it ruled so hard. I was soooo happy. If you ever have a chance to see them GO!!! Even if you dislike the music, the show will win you over.
