You know what I mean?

Exuberant
adj. 1. Full of unrestrained enthusiasm or joy.

Super upbeat, relentless energy of some kind, makes you want to tap yr foot and makes you feel an emotion of somekind whicih is most likely positive.

Power Pop stuff is obvious, esp dB's ("I'm In Love") and these days New Pornographers. "Teenage Kicks" by Undertones. "Teen Line" by Shivvers. Also I like, though sort of different than the power pop type examples, "Sound is Vibration" by Atmosphere and "Ether" by Gang of Four.

What do you got?

Brendan Benson, though he may fall under the power pop category.

Every single day at eleven
I'm home in bed in sleep heaven
all alone 'cause my girl leaves at seven
ain't got time for my bed-in
she says stop pretending
you're not John Lennon
