Here's my all Beatles version (subject to change):

Sad: Eleanor Rigby

Happy: Happiness is a Warm Gun

Wild Card: Dr. Robert

Good picks. I've always liked Happiness is a Warm Gun too, how can you not like the background vox "bang-bang shoot-shoot"? Plus it's a great gravely John vocal performance.

I have to disagree with your Happy song. What about Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds or I am the Walrus for a Happy Beatles song. They don't necessarily have lyrical content that emotes happiness but their melody is in line with it.

I don't mean that "Happiness" is the happiest song; its just makes me really happy to hear it. I love it perhaps more than any other song I've ever heard.

    They don't necessarily have lyrical content that emotes happiness but their melody is in line with it.

Yeah, "Run for Your Life" is my favorite example of this.
