Hahaha, funny enough that is the very first song on my mix. I was going to list it, but people had mentioned the band so I passed, but it really is perfect for my mix. I'm trying to get songs that aren't crazy silly/pure comedy but also that aren't too somber; I would say "So Long" by The Handsome Family is as far as I'll go on the comedy side (and I might even take it out and just put in another Handsome Family song) and "While We Have the Sun" by Mirah is as far as I'll go on the somber side.
Here is a live version of "While We Have the Sun"- http://media.putfile.com/While-We-Have-The-Sun
The album version has some interesting production, but I like both on their own rights.
Another song I have on the current mix from an already-mentioned band- The Unicorns, "I Don't Wanna Die"

--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---Skyclad-Helium
The song is about a banker committing suicide. A section:
[Chorus:]
I'm lighter than air - I haven't a care!
Still gravity pulls me under,
Credibility gapes - gullability fills -
They were bringing me down (no wonder)
Square pegs, round holes, last dregs, own goals
Monkey puzzle my fist won't fit inside
Every day nothing new, black and white deja-vu,
Makes me feel I wanna spread my wings and glide!
Should I look - should I leap from this unfairy story?
My life and my filofax flashing before me...
Fly like a rock from the roof to the basement,
The last thing to go through my mind was the pavement!
This is all backed by cheery fiddle jigs. And sung so happily!

I seriously need to get more Skyclad.

Road to Nowhere by Talking Heads (may not be specifically about death but...)

The Faint, oh god how happy I am when I listen to The Faint. I dance like a crazy, crazy girl.
Love and death by The Stills. It's my favorite song by them, and it always makes me smile.
Conrad by Jets to Brazil. It has to be the most upbeat song about suicide I've ever heard. double-edged and super blue/vertically letting the life from you/ casting a new darkness through the room
