- "Overjoyed" is a hit single written and performed by American R&B singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder on the Tamla (Motown) label from his 1985 album In Square Circle. The single peaked at No. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in early 1986, remaining in the Top 40 for six weeks. In addition, "Overjoyed" was a No. 1 hit on the adult contemporary chart, the eighth (and, to date, last) of his career. An alternate single release featured an instrumental version on the B-side. The song was written first for the 1979 album Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants, but was left off the album, and re-recorded for the 1985 album In Square Circle. In the liner notes for the song, "crickets, nightingale & additional bird sounds, ocean, pebbles in pond, stone dropped, crushing leaves" are listed under "environmental percussion". The song was first performed live on the May 7, 1983, episode of Saturday Night Live, where Wonder was the host and musical guest. Billboard said that it "dresses Wonder's usual wordplay in unusual audio effects." (en)

- 「オーヴァージョイド」(Overjoyed) は、アメリカ合衆国の歌手スティーヴィー・ワンダーが1986年に発表したヒット曲である。1986年ビルボード・ホット100で最高24位を記録し、トップ40には6週間滞在した。さらに、アダルト・コテンポラリ・チャートでは8週連続1位を記録した。 元々、1979年のアルバム『シークレット・ライフ』からのアウトテイクだった。その後に再録音され、1985年のアルバム『イン・スクエア・サークル』に収録された。 ライナーノーツには、「環境パーカッション」としてコオロギ、ナイチンゲールやその他の鳥の声、海や池に小石が落ちた音、葉を押しつぶした音がリストされている。 (ja)
- Overjoyed è una canzone scritta, registrata e prodotta da Stevie Wonder nel 1986, pubblicata come terzo singolo estratto dall'album In Square Circle. Il singolo raggiunse la posizione numero 24 della Billboard Hot 100 nella primavera del 1986, rimanendo nella Top 40 per sei settimane. Inoltre, Overjoyed raggiunse la vetta della classifica Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks, per l'ottava (e, ad oggi, l'ultima) volta, nella sua carriera. La canzone fu originariamente scritta nel 1979 per l'album Journey through the Secret Life of Plants, ma poi non inserita nel disco, e registrata nuovamente per l'album In Square Circle. Negli anni successivi la canzone è stata registrata anche da Mary J. Blige per l'album Ballads, pubblicato solo in Giappone e da Jane Monheit per l'album Surrender. Nel 2013 Celine Dion ha inserito una versione del brano cantata con lo stesso Wonder nel suo album . (it)
