Upbeat-ness

I want to make a collection of upbeat, fast-paced, nod-your-head-and-dance-like-a-crazy-fool songs, and I need suggestions. This is to balance the extreme surplus of depressing mixes I seem to have worked up without realising it.
So far I've got:
OK Go - Get Over It
The Music - The People
The Used - Buried Myself Alive
Feeder - Tell All Your Friends
Everclear - Rockstar

the Hives - Hate to Say I Told You So
As much as I don't like them, I've spent countless minutes running around the house like crazy to this one.

whats the alkaline trio song that goes "put down like a prostitute in court..." ??? if anybody answers, definitely get this song
edit: also check out Seventy Times Seven by Brand New, United States of Whatever - Liam Lynch, bandages - Hot Hot Heat, and Action and Action - the Get Up Kids.
Those are pretty good in my oppinion
....but then again, i thing Potato Girl is a happy song... what do I know

Hot Hot Heat - Talk To Me, Dance With Me
New Pornographers - Mass Romantic
Justin Timberlake - Rock Your Body (you know you like it. admit it.)
Billy Joel - Only The Good Die Young
Fugazi - Latin Roots
That's enough for now, I guess.

I'll check those out, thanks for the ideas.
I'm also going to put on What It Is To Burn by Finch and Plug In Baby by Muse, it's going to rock.
