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. :roll:

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 :freak:

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.
