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".

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
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...)

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

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

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Every once in a while, I pop in my Weavers Best-of CD, because most of those songs make me smile and sing along. "Tzena Tzena" is great for that, even though I don't know the Hebrew words.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Other cheer up songs for me: Bruce Springsteen's version of Viva Las Vegas, Joan Jett's Bad Reputation (and a lot of her other songs), and Dancing in Heaven (Orbital be-bop)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Early Beatles does it for me--maybe it's because I have to sing along. I also perk right up for TMBG or The Monkees. (Yeah, I'm a pop whore, so what) When blue, Crowded House makes me not cheery but comforted--another group which does that for me is Green Day. After I had a bad time at my evaluation today, I slammed "Jesus of Suburbia" on and it was just the thing. When I want to cool out, I play bossa nova (like Jobim or Gilberto) or Bjork.
