What are the most upbeat songs with kind of depressing lyrics?

The two I can think of are:
- It's Not Unusual
- Escape (The Piña Colada Song)
Semi-Charmed Life is the first thing that always comes to my mind

Push by Matchbox 20 and Possum Kingdom by Toadies are arguable ones.
Also, Richard Cheese covers a lot of raunchy and dark stuff in a vegas lounge singer style. Rape Me sung in a cheesy upbeat tone is a trip.

99 Luftballons is upbeat and fun, and about some balloons inadvertently kicking off a cataclysmic war that leaves the world in ruins.

I wouldn't say Possum Kingdom is upbeat even in sound.

hey ya -- Outkast
It's about relationships that aren't working out, but you still stay together." thank God for Mom and Dad / for sticking two together cause we don't know how"
Then later
" are we so in denial when we know we're not happy here? / y'all don't want to hear me, y'all just want to dance"

I'm Only Me When I'm With You by Taylor Swift. Granted, I have no experience with healthy relationships, but the relationship in that song sounds extremely unhealthy and codependent

May I introduce you to The Smiths. Rusholme Ruffians and There is a Light That Never Goes Out are great examples, but really it describes most of their catalogue.

I fucking love Richard Cheese, especially his cover of Closer.
