"Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears is one of the happiest songs in the world for me. It's simultaneously sophisticated and laid back.
It's a pitch-perfect composition, with every note and beat just where it needs to be. It's ABBA-esque in the perfection of its execution. (Of course, ABBA is more performative while Tears for Fears is a bit more soulful.0
"Everybody Wants to Rule the World is also among the best road trip songs ever. It quickly launches you in to that pensive companionship and sedentary momentum unique to those moments when you're getting the hell out of Dodge, so to speak.
Adding one more recommendation to this '80s classic, as if it's needed, it appears on the soundtrack of the very witty and well-written movie "Real Genius," which benefits from the underrated genius of Val Kilmer.
