Thank you for the suggestions. Much of that is too trance like. However the Tritonal Satellite one - 2nd to last link - isn't a bad option for a slow down break of the upbeatness.
That's a serious amount and I know at a glance that several of those are not too upbeat or cheerful... If I may ask for you to suggest one or two options from that extensive list that are cheerful upbeat type pieces?
Check and check. Good call.
We're adding both of these to my let's look at them more list.
I liked these two. Thankfully you made it so I can just copy and paste.
Good call on all of these! Grazie!
If you really want to expand your horizons try some instrumental prog rock.
They have their heavier moments but don't really focus in on one genre or anything.

Besides, he's black, so now you have to at least give it a try or you're a racist Nazi Alt-Right fascist.
Hahaha... now see, if only I could deal with you on this type of level all the time. Much more entertaining.
They're not quite my taste. And to be fair, I even listened to a good four, five of their songs. But hey, different strokes. Thank you for recommending them. I hadn't heard them before so it was something new.

Little by little... I'm making my way through. I am getting some very good suggestions. Very cool.

If you like KT Tunstall, here is one of hers I've enjoyed. It's quite upbeat.

Those were just the ones I thought she would like. I have an eclectic taste in music. I didn't think she wanted any Serj Tankian, Puscifer, or Madcon.

I've heard rumblings you and Disgustipated discuss music on occasion - so I can see where we might have some of the same taste.

I think my extremes are far more girly than his, so that rarely sees the light of day.

I think you might be surprised. I mean I've thrown some pretty girly shit at him and he's known it and appreciated it or at least been willing to listen to it. It's one reason we get on so well.

Here's my disparate summer selects for upbeat-ness:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmoyoTUfAG4
Totally upbeat shit from the latter '90s when things were really fun without having to think too hard to have fun, before America got uglier. You might've bypassed this.

Yeah, you should have this shit already. In case you don't, I'm reminding you. 1981 had this shit on lockdown and it stands the test of time. Whole album is fire, but if you want upbeat, just play Numbers really cranked up and feel your head nod, ass bump and all your anxieties disappear for that space of time.

Prince's old bandmates dropped this breezy sapphire funk gemstone back in 1989. It's their second joint and it's uber upbeat. Might've overlooked it, give it a go. This is good for when you're playing pool and wanna twist your hips a bit between shots.

That link to the one-mic, one-take of Take Me To The Alley should tell you to snatch this up if you haven't got Gregory Porter already. And get his earlier albums while you're at it. His voice is soothing and the vibe generally punches up, even if some of the tracks may not be the "upbeat" jazz vocals you're used to.

This is a single, not an album, but you can cop the DJ Cam-produced assembly it's on, which has lots more gems on it, just that this is the standout track and it does the trick perfectly. It's so fucking breezy and upbeat. Anggun totally killed this. Drippin' with sex. Used to get super lit to this back in the early-aughts day.

I tend to like the gloomier stuff. Things that are lyrical, but not about love and breakups and shit.
I'd just recommend jazz. I've been exploring Stanley Clarke lately . . . his sound is pretty diverse.

Any of you European types familiar with a guitar duo that uses either 'Old' or "Old Feeling' as a name? One of their names is 'Hasseman', but I don't know the other name.
I got three or four pieces from Amazon; "Medley', "Dream", "Sphinx" and another I can't find right now. All very simple, but interesting and relaxing.

I smiled all the way through Bo Jangles this morning. That's a check.
I really like "She" by Norah Jones.
I liked the first one a lot. The second one is cool but the problem is with any foreign language, it makes it really difficult because I keep trying to discern words.
I had forgotten about them. I'll add them onto my check into list.
And on a side note... Bing?
Well... You have much better taste in girlfriends than you do music.
However I appreciate you trying - twice. I do have to give you points for giving me a good solid few minutes of entertainment this morning with this little gem. It was a link or two down from one of the first two on your list. While the lyricist gets pretty much zero points - the video was seriously entertaining.
That's a bit... not upbeat and happy. It's a good song, but not quite cheerful enough.
I'm sorry to admit Melissa, but I must agree with him.
As she should. That's not a very good song.
Yes I did thank you. And this thread is turning out to be an excellent idea as well as cataloging resource for me.
This is working out better than I expected.
Meh.
Yes it is a better version but it's still not a happy or upbeat song.
I like the way they sound when their songs start, but then about 30 seconds in they shift gears and it's not as pleasant sounding to me.
Jezebels - check.
Yes it was weird. It was kinda awesome, but still very weird.
Silversun Pickups are not happy. However, they were the least... erratic and abrasive sounding of the selections.
That was also a bit... harsher than I generally prefer. However, they were interesting and I had never heard of them before.
Very nice. 4 for 4.
What's Caro Emerald's best CD in your opinion?
I don't think it sucks. I might have to get it. Grazie for the preview.

There's also:
'City of New Orleans' -Arlo Guthrie
'Ode To Billie Jo' - Bobbie Gentry
'The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia' - Vickie Lawrence
'Me and Bobby McGee' - Janis Joplin
... and a whole host of others in that vein.

That's alright, I was just sharing something I heard and had enjoyed, I wasn't trying to convince everybody how much cooler I am than them.

And if you want to go into Jazz, well ... that opens up an entire new galaxy.
From Big Band style Glenn Miller (mentioned above), you go to Artie Shaw, Charlie Barnett, The Dorsey Brothers, Benny Goodman and dozens of others.
Moving to later years, you get to Stan Kenton, Oscar Peterson, Cedar Walton, Bob James, Earl Klugh, Doc Severinson, Noel Pointer, Jean Luc Ponty, Maynard Ferguson, Count Basie, Dave Brubeck, Chuck Mangione .... The list there is almost endless.
Then into fusion Jazz, with Pat Metheny, Oregon, etc.
