FYI,
As was mentioned by Meris, "V'samachta B'chagecha" is for the Shalosh Regalim
(Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot). This goes back to the rabbinic
classification of holy days. The word "chag" is a technical term in that
context. Purim
and Chanukah, post-Torah holidays, are considered "minor holidays," so the
term "chag" is not applied to them.
As for Purim, I think that "Rebbe Elimelech" is a great song -- especially
this year when Purim begins after Havdalah.
