I'm so conflicted on these at times. I mainly dislike the original title: "Sad songs made happy."
There is nothing that says a major key must be "happy" and there is nothing that says a minor key must be "sad." It's also interesting to note that google claims that Losing My Religion is in the key of C Major:

The chords are, according to Wikipedia, Em, Am, D, G.
- elektronaut 9y agoThat doesn’t sound right, the ii chord of C major is Dm, not D. I’m guessing E minor or G major judging solely by the chords.

- meggar 9y agoMixo is usually considered dominant instead of major. There's also Lydian #6 for those times when Lydian just isn't major enough.
