Uplifting songs in movies (regardless of genre or it being an original song)

Just something random:

What songs (in what movies) come to mind when I say "uplifting (happy)" songs. Doesn't matter in what kind of genre and it doesn't matter if it was written for the movie or not. Some examples:

"Gimme Some Loving" (Spencer Davis Group) both in "Days Of Thunder" and "Notting Hill"

"Brown Eyed Girl" (Van Morrison) in "Sleeping With The Enemy"

"Higher And Higher" (Sung by Howard Huntsberry) in "Ghostbusters 2"

"Wheaterman" (Delbert McClinton) in "Groundhog Day"
