Earlier this morning we were discussing the study about happiness and how it is based on your expectations. So, the conclusion is that the key to your own happiness is located within you. Let's get some happiness flowing with a "happy" Coffee Break. Remember: keep your expectations low, so that we can exceed them and make this an exceptionally happy Coffee Break.

What "happy" songs should we play for the Coffee Break? We're looking for songs that have the key word "happy" in the title or featured prominently in the lyrics.

Songs Played:

The Kinks "Everybody's Gonna Be Happy"

Buzzcocks "Everybody's Happy Nowadays"

The Partridge Family "Come on Get Happy"

Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins "Happy"

The Turtles "Happy Together"

Jimmy Soul "If You Want to Be Happy"

Garbage "Only Happy When it Rains"

The Beatles "Happiness is a Warm Gun"

The Rolling Stones "Happy"
