Hi Again Roy!
I've reflected a bit Further on "Happy Songs". I find for me, it's easier to write "Funny" Songs...than "Happy" Ones.
(That bit of a Parody of a Happy Song you've already Inspired is sorta "Exhibit 'A'"..heh!)
I think Current "Sensibility" makes us a bit Suspicious of Anything TOO "Happy". (For Exhibit 'A' of that, Google "I Love a Flower Girl" by The Cowsills. It has that "DATED" quality to it...& even though there's the Line "And she has made me Happy..Happy..HAPPY...", it feels kinda Ancient, maybe even Insincere these days.
MAYBE we've all come too-far to believe in Walt Disney's "When you wish upon a Star..Your Dreams Come True"...
I was reflectin' on that yesterday when I heard an already gettin'-old Very-Successful Pop Song with "I'm a loser Baby..So why don't ya kill me" in the Chorus.
I'll confess, it was SO Sardonic, it DID make me Laugh!
Maybe..for a While Longer, we've gotta settle for "Funny" insteada "Happy" in our Songs That Sell.
Back to my Think Tank...
Best Wishes,
Stan

"Sometimes reaching a goal earlier than planned is a great achievement. It shows you have worked hard, pushed ahead and made it happen. However, sometimes reaching a goal far past your original deadline, long after you wanted to complete it, and after the accolades you might once have gotten for the achievement are over, it is an even greater achievement. This shows you never gave up, due to adversity, deficit, criticism and those little life detours that end many dreams and goals. In many ways, this is a reason for even more pride!" -Brian Austin Whitney
