It depends a lot on what sort of a mood I'm in.
If I'm just a bit 'blah' then a 'happy happy, joy joy' song might perk me up, but if I'm feeling really down, a 'happy happy, joy joy' song will just irritate me.
IMO, there's a spectrum. You want to listen to a song that's a couple of 'happiness points' above your current mood. Theoretically you should be able to put together an album that would gradually lead you all the way up from bitter unhappiness to joy...
