I am preparing a CD with upbeat, lust-for-life, feelgood songs, so far I have come up with "Regret" and "still on Fire" from Aztec Camera, I know the idea sounds a bit corny but it's for a good cause. Any suggestions?

While on the subject, have you noticed that Mozza's "Everyday is like Tuesday" sounds quite optimistic when you ignore the lyrics? (...and the fact that it's Morrisey singing, sure)

Isn't it "Everyday Is Like Sunday"? (I dunno, all the days run easily one into another as of late, it seems).

How about "Get Over You" by The Undertones?
