A bit dramatic, but sure.

Carl Orff – O Fortuna
If you don't feel awake yet, I bet this will do the trick!
Reading more about this piece, I was quite surprised to learn that it was first staged in June 1937. I had somehow assumed it was much older than that.
Vampire Weekend – Mary Boone
Vampy Weeks is back baby
Paul McCartney, Sting, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, and Phil Collins – Hey Jude
h/t @bubbaprog:
You know the 2004 Rock Hall ceremony performance of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" that you've seen a million times but never gets old? This is like the Bizarro World version of that.
Coolio – Gangsta’s Paradise
Heart – Stairway to Heaven
Dolly Parton – He’s Alive
Michael Jackson – The Way You Make Me Feel/Man In The Mirror
Wow, they gave Michael a full 10 minutes during the Grammys.
Known & The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra – All We Ask
The youth choir Known was founded by Minneapolis vocalist Courtland Pickens last year.
Pavel Tschesnokov – Salvation is Created (performed by the National Lutheran Choir)
This is another of my absolute favorite songs of all time, and a perfect one for putting the kids into a restful, relaxed state. It does wonders on that front for me too.
I was first introduced to this song in band class, and I prefer straight instrumental versions, but since I often sing the song to the kids (as best I can... no justice is done there), I thought I'd drop a sung version here. Enjoy!
