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.
"Guilty Pleasure" by Cobra Starship, and "Starfish and Coffee" by Prince.
So much yes on these two.
"Gone" by The Bouncing Souls. Of course, cheering up is the entire point of the song.
Oh, hey, fans of Wilco and voting

I do love Guilty Pleasure as a "new" change my mood song, but my one of my all time favorite mood pick me ups is "Come on Eileen", which never fails to make me bounce around. I also like Joni Mitchell's "carey".
Ailleann- isn't that the song that Pete Wentz heard in his dad's car when he was little that made him want to be a musician?
It might very well be! I can't remember off the top of my head.
(It wouldn't surprise me, since Pete and I seem to fall roughly in the same demographic on a lot of things...)
Rise and Shine - The Cardigans
"Dead" and "Vampires Never Hurt You" by MCR, "Guilty Pleasure" by Cobra Starship
Oh Jeebus, yes. Especially "Dead!", because it's just So. Fucked. Up. and includes some great riffs on top of it.
"Everybody Wants To Rule The World" by Tears For Fears, "Let It Rock" (Live) by Bob Seger, and "Bitches" by Mindless Self Indulgence always put me in a happy, hyper mood.
