Listen to the sound track from Avenue Q
Pr for an old school rock-n-roll theme "We built this city" by JeffersonStarship.

"Shut Up and Smile" -- Bowling For Soup

"Brand New Day" -- Sting

"I Quit" -- Hepburn

"Shut Up and Let Me Go" -- The Ting Tings (I know, it's a stretch, but it's the same basic theme as the previous one. Plus, it's danceworthy crack.)

"Accidently Kelly Street" -- Frente! (Also known by me as The Most Cheerful Song In The World)

I have "Brand New Day" by Sting

I think there's a few songs on VNV Nation's Futureperfect that would suit.
