A CD of upbeat songs

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)

Depeche Mode- "Enjoy the silence" Echo & The Bunnymen- "Seven seas" Iggy Pop- "Candy" David Bowie- "Everyone says Hi" James- "Getting away with it (all messed up)" Garbage- "Stupid girl" The Railway Children- "Every beat of the heart" Charlatans- "North Country Boy" A Certain Ratio- "Shack up (Electronic remix)" Primal Scream- "Autobahn 66" Propaganda- "Duel" The Smiths- "The boy with the thorn in his side" Suede- "Trash"

Dont laugh, but Chorus by Erasure all ways makes me want to get up and dance.

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?

Favourite Shirts by Haircut 100. It is a proven fact that you will have a miserable night out unless this is the last thing you hear before leaving the house.

thought this was supposed to be upbeat songs?

how about

groove is in the heart - dee-lite laid - james here comes the summer - the undertones anything by ooberman mrs robinson - the lemonheads

Thank you all, some wonderful suggestions. I think I am going to have two CD's burned instead of one. I don't think I am including anything by Leonard Cohen, though!
