Feel Good Music
I need some recommendations for feel good music - be they summer hits, background party music, chillout songs or otherwise upbeat music.
i.e Not the likes Manic Street Preachers, Radiohead etc...
Basically any cheery songs, whoever they are by.
I have a little under 24hrs to get a compilation.
Thank you.

Shonen Knife was the first band that popped to mind.

"It's Only Rock 'N' Roll" by the Rolling Stones. I just can't stop myself from grinning like a maniac and singing along when I hear that tune.
Same could be said of many Stones songs...

If you're looking for upbeat music, you can't beat good 80s pop. Try the Go Go's, Duran Duran, Men Without Hats, etc. Personally, I find that Michael Jackson's Don't Stop till You Get Enough to be one of the best dance inspiring songs.
If you want something newer, try out stuff like Green Day's Dookie album or Blink 182's fluffier stuff. Some of the lyrics may be "I'm a loser"ish (though not nearly is the same vein as Radiohead, for example), but the tempo and music is great. Sum 41 is great for that too - and alot of their stuff is feel good party music through and through.
If you want the ultimate in feel good music, and don't mind total pop fluff, check out Perfect Day by Hoku (it was on the Legally Blonde sountrack). I'm kinda ashamed to admit it, but I find it quite catchy.

Jamiroquai: feel good with out being too cheesy. And I agree with the Andrew WK suggestion.

yeah 80's stuff.
go-go's we got the beat.
Joan Jett- I love rock and roll
I'm walking on sunshine. I don't know who does it, but it definately is upbeat.
She-bop by Cyndi Lauper. Hey it's about masturbation. That is upbeat.

Oh God, where to start?
Motown, the Checker and Chess labels are chock full of honest to goodness feel good songs- 'Dancing in the Streets', 'Heatwave', 'Baby Love', 'Love Train', 'Summer Breeze', 'Harvest for the World', 'Rescue Me', 'I Can't Help Myself', and so on, and so on. Similarly with the Stax label- silly ones like 'Do the Funky Chicken', mellow but proud like the Staple Singers' 'Respect Yourself', groovetastic like Booker T and the M.G.s 'Green Onions'.
Then you have people like Nina Simone with 'My Baby Just Cares For Me' or 'Suzanne' or 'Exactly Like You', Tina Turner and 'Proud Mary', Grace Jones and 'Feel Up' or 'Pull Up to the Bumper'. Donna Summer's original 'I Feel Love', Ella Fitzgerald and 'Begin the Beguine', Louis Armstrong's 'We Have All the Time in the World'.
10 000 Maniacs and 'Peace Train' or 'Scorpio Rising', Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel with 'Come Up and See Me, Make Me Smile', Roxy Music's 'Virginia Plain', Hot Chocolate's 'Everyone's A Winner', David Bowie's 'Golden Years', 'Kooks' and 'Heroes'; Moloko's 'The Time is Now', Morcheeba's 'Trigger Hippie',
Emmylou Harris's 'Blue Kentucky Girl'...
How's that for starters?

If you like metal you should look for X-MAS PROJECT. It's a bunch of metal bands that got together around -86 and recorded a CD with their own interpretations of classical christmas songs

I'm not sure I'd say anything by the DKs is "feel good." Certainly hilarious, but slightly depressing.

I think Kill the Poor is kinda uplifting, myself.

The Mighty Vikings - "Do-Re-Mi"
The Gaylads - "A.B.C. Rocksteady"
John Holt - "Ali Baba"
The Dictators - "(I Live For) Cars and Girls"
The Mar-Keys - "Soul Finger"
But the cheeriest of all musical styles is of course Soca! (Soca! Soca!)
Iwer George - "Hot up the Place"
Iwer George - "Gimme a Bligh"
Alison Hinds and David Rudder - "Glow"
Bunji Garlin - "Hands Up"

Katrina and the Waves did "I'm Walking On Sunshine" - excellent choice for upbeat music.
Also, other good upbeat songs include early beach boys and beatles, also tears for fears, etc…
But if you really want the Joy Division, be sure to download their "Kill Me Now Before I Suck Even More" track, obscure B-side, that!

Joy Division is the greatest misnomer of all time!
There are a lot of good, danceable and upbeat Talking Heads songs. Talking Heads '77 is one big lump of honest good hearted sentiment.
