Best high-energy upbeat songs

A lot of B-52s songs would probably work.

Can’t sleep…

(more)Al Hirt - Java

The Aquabats - Ska Robot Army

Bjork - Oh So Quiet

David Bowie - Starman

Dream Warriors - Ludi

Eric Cartman - Come Sail Away

Herb Albert & the Tiauana Brass - Spanish Flea

Kriss Kross - I Missed the Bus

Negativeland - Nesbitt’s Lime Soda

Ren & Stimpy - Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy

Young MC - Just Say No , Principal’s Office

How about Twist it (Shake Your Tail Feather) from the Blues Brothers soundtrack?

Also, since you mentioned using music from different cultures, I’ll recommend the Canadian folk band Great Big Sea. They have a lot of fun songs (both original and traditional) but here are some suggestions:

Lukey
Mary Mac
When I’m Up

I came here to recommend this too so I’ll just post a link instead.
