I too was gonna suggest 'Walking on Sunshine', always puts me in a good mood... but that's been done...

While I think of another song.. this might cheer you up, it's a quick cartoon movie I made.

Sorry Christy, i know this is a serious thread but, Latin Spice, YOU RAPED MY FUCKING EYES! I think I just became retarded.

Uh...
Jimmy Eat World - The Middle.
Anything by Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies is fun stuff too.

On a slightly different topic, if your mother likes to read, try to get her to read Zen Flesh, Zen Bones. It's a very uplifting book, really puts a lot of stuff into perspective.

The late Peggy Lee's "Fever" is a great old time pop song. For jazz improvisation, check out Keith Jarrett's Vienna Concert track 1. This song tells me a powerful story of trial and triumph and is wonderfully uplifting. For somewhat more traditional classical I really love Copland's Appalachian Spring. It rules, especially considering the irony of the song's title. And when I'm feeling patriotic I listen to his Portrait of Lincoln.
