"Guilty Pleasure" by Cobra Starship, and "Starfish and Coffee" by Prince.
So much yes on these two.
'Objects In Space'
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.

"Gone" by The Bouncing Souls. Of course, cheering up is the entire point of the song.
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".
"Build Me Up, Buttercup"
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...)

"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.
