Oh, Badges, Posters, Stickers & T-shirts! Hilarious. Eastbound Train too makes me smile, envisioning Mark checking out the lady on the train.

Yesterday Punish The Monkey, today and always Walk Of Life. Thanks Mark.

Walk of Life is a good shout. I can understand why Guy is so fed up of THAT keyboard/organ part but it is a feel good song.

Laughs and Jokes and Drinks and Smokes is probably the solo song that makes me feel happiest.

But even those depressing songs can be absolutely beautiful.


Yes, and the beauty of these songs is what makes you happy.
Just hearing his voice has that effect on me too.

Two amongst others, I'd say Beachcombing and My claim to fame.

But I also agree with Darling Pretty the poster ;D , I wouldn't say that MK is really good in making happy songs. I'd have more songs for a "which MK songs make you feel depressed?" topic lol and my number one choice would probably be : Dream of the drowned submariner. ;D ;D

A really interesting question if you unpack it.

I don't suppose Mark does 'happy' music, but so many of his characters are happy despite their downtrodden positions in life. Like the itinerant worker or the hardworking farmer...

Songs that make me laugh - the more sarcastic stuff he's written. Things like millionaire blues I find amusing.

Happy songs- I suppose something like all that matters,  a sentiment all parents will identify with.....

Walk of Life is pure joy.

Your postman can whistle it.

Your granny will dance to it when it comes on at a wedding.

Get Lucky.

Made me cry the first time I heard it (tears of joy), and it sometimes still does. I absolutely love that song.

But mostly Darling Pretty, Nobody's got the Gun (that outro is amazing), What it is, Sultans and Tunnel of Love to name a couple.
Also the outro of Where do you think you're going keeps me going
