What song (or songs) instantly put you in a good mood? No matter how crappy you're feeling or how upset you are, that song playing can make you smile, just for a second.

Mine:

Tears For Fears, "Everybody Wants To Rule The World". Upbeat tempo, runs over the credits of one of my favorite movies, etc.
New Radicals, "You Get What You Give". Yes.
Placebo, "Pure Morning"
Dexy's Midnight Runners, "Come On Eileen"
Paul Oakenfeld, "Starry-Eyed Surprise"
india.arie, "Video"
Eminem, "Lose Yourself"
The Cure, "Friday I'm In Love"
Nirvana, "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
Barenaked Ladies, "One Week"


What's yours?

(Oh, I can see this is one that I'm going to have to edit as people remind me of songs....)
