Iconic Images of People Celebrating or Otherwise Being Happy

We're looking for iconic/popular images of people having fun and want to photoshop in a crying kid (all in good fun!). What are your suggestions?

Hi Friends!

We are toasting/roasting someone in a few weeks and in our speech, we plan to show pics of his life from baby to adult, on a projector, in slideshow format.

Apparently as a child, he used to cry a lot and his brother would like to make fun of this fact by including a picture of him bawling his eyes out.

I am thinking it might be funny to photoshop that image in a number of popular images that show people celebrating (in the syle of Bert is Evil (mildly NSFW)) or Michael Buble Being Stalked by a Velociraptor.

I seem to have a memory block, so all I can think of is this.

Can you guys help me find iconic/popular images of people having fun?

Thanks!

There are tons of sports images, world series wins, super bowls, etc.

Choose your (or his) own favorite NASA program or era from these images of "mission control celebrations" or "astronaut parades".

(That photo tagged as Mia Hamm is actually Brandi Chastain)
