At the opening power chord, Li'l Sphere: "YES! LOUD!" That put me in a good mood.
Right on, Le Sphere!
Emmett and Matilda will get headbanging in the back seat when I play the mashup of the Stooges "No Fun" and Salt n' Peppa's "Push It."
Buffy: You tossed that vamp like he was a... little teeny vamp. Riley: You wanna go again? C'mon. I bet this place is just teeming with aerodynamic vampires.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

“Not dead yet!”
For cheer me up music, anything early-mid sixties of the toga-partyish variety. "Twist and Shout", "All My Loving" the aforementioned "Try a Little Tenderness", pretty much anything of that ilk.
Dusty makes me embrace my inner diva.
Raul Malo's ballads are for the melancholy.
Pat Metheny's First Circle album for rainy days.
Vince Guaraldi and Dave Brubeck completely evoke autumn and winter for me-- not so much a mood, but a feeling.
Amy Winehouse's "Love is a Losing Game" breaks my heart.

I think I put it up there. It's insanely awesome. A total fuckfest between Iggy and Salt n' Peppa. Their rap perfectly timed over the Stooges riffs is the raunchiest, rockinest thing ever.
Salt: Push it!
Iggy: Yeahhh!
Peppa: Push it real good
Iggy: Yeahhh!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Man, my post done got et. Dang.
At a wedding recently, I heard a mashup of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's "Maps" and Daftpunk's "Around the World." It was phenomenally fun.
Other mood-changing songs: Rufus Wainwright's "Poses" can calm me even when I'm at my most frantic, DJ Kool's "Let Me Clear My Throat" requires about 5' diameter clearance for me to dance properly, and Dan Bern's "Tiger Woods" never fails to crack my shit up.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
The Smiths never fail to cheer me up. (Either you laugh at the melodrama or you find yourself railing "You think you got it bad!")
EXACTLY.
Other cheering songs in JilliLand: "Plasticine" by Placebo, "Dead" and "Vampires Never Hurt You" by MCR, "Guilty Pleasure" by Cobra Starship, "Why Can't I Be You?" by The Cure, and "Starfish and Coffee" by Prince.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
"Guilty Pleasure" by Cobra Starship, and "Starfish and Coffee" by Prince.
So much yes on these two.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
"Gone" by The Bouncing Souls. Of course, cheering up is the entire point of the song.
