Mixtape Monday: Upbeat jams to perk you up

Last week's playlist of acoustic covers mellowed us out for a few days -- maybe a little too much! The Mixtape is back this Monday with a burst of energy and ambition to help you power through this week.

Don't worry, all you need is a cup of coffee (or two) and a positive attitude -- we've got the tunes covered.

From The Lemonheads' cover of "Mrs. Robinson" to the feel-good sounds of "Good Day" by Nappy Roots, this playlist of upbeat jams will keep you dancing (or, at least tapping your feet at your office chair) all day long. What better way to start the week?

Do you have a creative request for next week’s Mixtape Monday theme? Share with us in the comments!
