Songs that make your day Awesome

As the title implies: What are the songs that can make your day awesome, rain, snow, sleet or apocalypse, just on the listening? What songs can make life seem absolutely peachy, even after you got an F on your paper, your burger came out wrong at Carl's Jr., or your dog died?
My own list:
Spanish Nights (I Remember Them Well) by Blackmore's Night. The Ponderous guitar work at the start let me know the song would be good. The double drum hit before the song starts lets me know the song will be awesome
Inner Universe, off the GitS:SAC soundtrack. The song's mix of beautiful, slow lyrics and fast tempo electronica makes me almost transcendentally happy.
The Storm, also by Blackmore's night. It's a badass song about a badass storm.
Red Fraction, off the Black Lagoon (anime) OST. Awesome song, even if the entire thing is sung in bad engrish.
Knights of Cydonia and Starlight, both from Muse. To loosely quote someone I don't remember, 'Knights of cydonia is 6 minutes of genius'. And Starlight is just generally huggy and uplifting for me. Even if I can't sing falsetto.
And... perhaps the most strange song of the bunch... Vocaloid does the Ievan Polka
