What are the happiest metal songs of all time?

[Fizrider]

And don't forget Helloween- "Rise And Fall", "Don't R un For Cover", and "Livin' Aint No Crime"

Face it - Helloween is just happy bouncy metal.

Arthemis' "Free Spirit" off of "Back From the Heat" is so inspirational, it makes you want to go and adopt all the puppies at PetSmart.

Break all the rules tonight
Try to be a free spirit and never cry
Take a look in through the clouds
You will see a brand new dawn
The time to break free is right now

this is a great, great thread.
Diamond Sky by Power Quest

SHoot yeah, I can't believe i forgot about that one - I think I listened to it once 5x in a row until I smiled.

It had been a really bad day.

 

[Metal_Camden]

Lol no one mentioned

Lady dragon by dreamtale


Or

Into the enchanted chamber by timeless miracle?

 

[1000 Faces]

"Ode to Joy" by Heavenly.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

I'll add 'Visions' by Stratovarius...especially the ending of the song (the last 2 mins).

 

[J-Man]

Can't forget Brother Firetribe, Emppu is just naturally happy

Gamma Ray - Heaven Can Wait

But NOTHING trumps Shiny Happy Poeple by REM off the Out of Time Album

But... that is actually a really depressing song about how everyone in the Reagan White House was just a drone of the imperialist capitalist Military/Industrial Complex, but the media wouldn't call them out on it!

Or, you know, that's what Stipe thought, at least.

 

[Corsair]

Devin Townsend's Addicted.

The whole album. Lyrically it feels more bittersweet than pure happy, but it's ridiculously uplifting.

 

[Akumu]

Only two mentions of DragonForce songs? Wow.



Also, Turisas can do the bouncy thing very well if necessary.

Does thought matter when the final product is what it is

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

I agree about the Devin Townsend song. Amazing song given its simplicity. The whole record is actually awesome.

 

[Gammaween]

 

[AeonicSlumber]

 

[GoRillaBoy76]

[modernwizardry]

I find it interesting people are talking about some Devin tunes on here but not this one, which I would say is his most light-hearted song. And you gotta love the pure cheese of that video.

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

Freedom Call - Ocean
