What song always puts you into a good mood?

There’s no way in which I won’t turn up the volume whenever I hear a Macklemore song. ‘Glorious’ or ‘Can’t hold us’ for example. But my all-time mood booster is ‘Mamma mia’ from Abba. Whenever I hear these songs, beware of dance moves and singing out of tune…

If you could become any other person for a day … who would it be?
