Happy, Peppy, Upbeat party songs for DLC

[Riboflavin]

ok, i get it...Rock Band is all about Rock and Roll...hence Metallica and Coheed and Nirvana.

But Rock Band is also a party game made to be enjoyed by all in large groups. I enjoy the Coheed song, but when i get a group together (including some chicks) they arent gonna want to listen and play that song over and over.

So since i doubt ya'll would welcome some of the more "pop" songs on the disc...what songs would you be ok with for DLC that you might actually download?

I got a small list going:

Black Crowes - "Hard to Handle"
Paramore - "Misery Business"
Keane - "Is It Any Wonder"
Rare Earth - "I Just Want To Celebrate"

[Rock_Starman]

The first thing that came to mind when reading the title was Shiny Happy People by R.E.M.

Run Runaway by Slade would be pretty awesome.

This is, like, the catchiest song ever.

I've yet to hear anything from Coheed that rocks.

Talking Heads--Burning Down the House

The entire 'party' DLC could be filled with Andrew W.K. songs. Does he sing anything that /isn't/ an upbeat party song?

Chthonic: The Who, an amazing rock band, pioneered the use of power cords. Coheed uses power cords. Thus, Coheed = rock. I win.

ahyes Jimmy Eat World would be a solid choice.

and what kinda party would it be without some Andrew W.K.?

i know she talks to angels really isnt upbeat and/or happy, but damn that song is awesome!

i love the way the lead singer looks whenever he says his first "Wheew!" at 0:43.
