A song that always puts a smile on my face is "Turn Back, O Man" from Godspell

Oddly enough, The Schmuel Song from L5Y. It doesn't get too happy at first- it builds nicely. And the na na nas always make me smile.

defying gravity, almost anything from anything goes, shakalaka baby and like an eagle from bombay dreams (mainly because they remind me of going to london with some of my best friends) All that Jazz, Blame Canada from the south park movie (hey its a musical regardless of how rediculous it is)

Definitely Popular, something about Cheno's voice and the lyrics is just hysterical to me.

Also, Nothing from A Chorus Line - I think it's awesome! And can't forget La Vie Boheme, soo funny!

I agree with "Master of the House" but it depends who is singing it. Sometimes it's great, sometimes aweful.
-Most things from Wicked
-LSoH
-Many Les Miz songs(the happier ones....mostly)
-Any Major 11 o'clock showtune!
-Hairspray. Period.
