Victor 18518 B - Have A Smile - Sterling Trio
https://youtu.be/_dzuM9V46LI
This Victor recording came with my Aeolian Vocalian gramophone. Released after the horrors of the preceding few years, the record is a bit of cheerful 1919 optimism . Normally it is not something that would appeal to my cynical and bitter nature, but increasingly, my wife and I find ourselves playing it, singing along with it, and later mindlessly humming it. Listening, singing, and humming seem to be psychologically helpful under present circumstances.
There are many well-known, well-studied benefits to smiling. Here from UWA (a site more or less chosen at random from a DuckDuckGo search) is one of many digests of smile research:

We can do this volumtarily or ... there is the O Lucky Man! smile scene:
