1. “Happy” by Pharell Williams
“Despicable Me 2”
This feel–good anthem (with a 24–hour music video) is pretty much unavoidable, but that doesn’t take away from its charm.
SOUNDS BEST WHEN: Strolling down Locust Walk like you’re floating on air
2. “Let It Go” by Idina Menzel
“Frozen”
This power ballad is perfect for the change in weather. Belting out “the cold never bothered me anyway” while basking in the glorious almost–spring sunshine has never felt so good.
SOUNDS BEST WHEN: Trying to convince your hall to build a snowman with you with whatever’s left of the latest blizzard
3. “The Moon Song” by Karen O
Look around while this song is playing, because you may end up catching some of your “tough guy” friends trying to hide a tear or two. This simple yet beautiful jawn can make any Scrooge or Grinch feel like they’re “a million miles away.”
SOUNDS BEST WHEN: It’s the soundtrack to a love story set in a Huntsman GSR
4. “ORDINARY LOVE” by U2
“Mandela”
This classic U2 joint is a powerful song from a powerful movie and, even with stiff competition, it will be tough to beat this one for the award.
SOUNDS BEST WHEN: It’s blasting out of the speakers at Pottruck in 10 years or so.
