Can somebody suggest happy Irish pop country folk songs?

Answer 1

I don't know much about pop or country, but I DO know a lot of happy Irish songs. Even some of the ones about death are really, really funny and lighthearted. Some of these songs have other names, which I put in parenthesis if I know them, but I only put different songs on this list. * Rare Old Mountain Dew (aka Old Mountain Dew, Real Old Mountain Dew, Old Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew, etc.) * Rocky Road to Dublin * Lannigan's Ball * Star of the County Down * The Night that Paddy Murphy Died * Finnegan's Wake * The Cobbler * Raggle Taggle Gypsy * Wild Rover * Irish Rover (no it's not the same song) * Step it Out Mary * Derek Bentley * Join the British Army * Wearing of the Green (and similarly Rising of the Moon) * Broad Black Brimmer * Hot Asphalt * McAlpine's Fusiliers * Banks of the Roses (or Banks of Red Roses...I've seen it both ways) * The Holy Ground * Limerick Rake * Waxie's Dargle * Sally MacLennane (a Pogues classic that just had to go on here) * Wild Colonial Boy * Black Velvet Band * The Drunken Sailor (more of an English song, but noteworthy largely because of the great version done by The Irish Rovers) If you're looking for instrumental only songs, try www.thesession.org. Anything in a major key sounds happy. I don't know much about pop or country, but I DO know a lot of happy Irish songs. Even some of the ones about death are really, really funny and lighthearted.
