Putting together a playlist of congratulation/celebratory songs, please let me know your favorites.
Best answer: Another gimme: Joe Esposito's "You're the Best Around."

I am also fond of the Weakerthans' "The Reasons," which is more about celebrating a person than an achievement, but may apply.

Congratulations (Austin PowersCliff Richard) is a song. He sang it at Eurovision. You'll have to decide for yourself whether it's good.

Not specifically celebration or congratulatory, but I always think of ABBA's dancing queen as a great party song, ergo, celebration

Ghostface Killah's "Champion" (the version with the original samples on Fishscale) is also pure concentrated awesome.

Response by poster: Thanks for the responses, please keep them coming. I just want to add that it's for a graduation. They don't have to be specifically about congratulations, but could be more like "you're great" or "this is a great day".

Is Happy overdone yet? I hope not, I still love that song, a million listens later.
