Hehe this is a fun one.
Most Beach Boys songs -- mainly because they were childhood songs.

Another vote goes to "The Truck Got Stuck" by Corb Lund.

Good call.
Hoppipolla by Sigur Ros makes me feel nice.

Not cool I know, but Benny and Bjorn were god-like hook-masters. Mamma Mia is the perfectly constructed pop song. There are more hooks in that one song, than most artists come up with in their entire careers.
Although they started off with simple Eurovision-styled ditties like "People Need Love" and "Honey Honey," the songwriting team of Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson rapidly progressed in prowess until they were able to craft pop nuggets that were almost symphonic in their complexity. "Mamma Mia" is a great example of this duo's ability to create densely crafted yet totally accessible tunes. The song draws its strength from a complex yet catchy melody full of serpentine twists that give it an almost Asian flavor. To give the song added variety, Ulvaeus and Anderson add a couple of melodic surprises in the form of a punchy pre-chorus bridge whose dramatic staccato sound revs listeners up for the chorus and a soaring mid-chorus bit designed to tug on the heartstrings. These surprise elements beef up the hook quotient of "Mamma Mia" while also giving it an unpredictable quality guaranteed to keep a listener enthralled. ABBA's recording of the song adds a layer of instrumental hooks, including a naggingly catchy xylophone hook that sets up the song and some sprightly string riffs that interact with the lead vocals in call-and-response fashion during the verses. The end result is a veritable funhouse of a pop song that became a big hit around the world and enduring favorite of ABBA fans. [allmusic]
A guilty pleasure at the very least. The chorus is pure ear candy.
BTW, the French & Saunders ABBA video parodies are hilarious. This is genius:

Get Your Hands Off of My Woman, There's Always Someone Cooler Than You, Army, Rent-a-Cop - Ben Folds.. Those always make me smile.
Excerpt from Rent-a-Cop:
With my sunglass they can’t
See what I’m really looking at
And as they’re walking by
I whisper through my doughnut
Hey baby, baby light that ass on fire
How long must this day go on?
I got to stand here two more hours till I
Punch the clock
How long must this day go on?
No kid, they don’t give me a gun
I don’t get paid enough to run
So you can call me what you want
I’ll be hanging at the check out
Checking out your girlfriend
Figure out how she’s going to fit all of that
Butt into that underwear - yeah
Yeah
