Thought of another one, apologies for the atrocious quality but I didn't want to link to tidal in case others couldn't view it.

Jill Scott - Golden, one of those tunes I can happily belt out in the car as I drive down the road on a summers day as no-one can hear me.

For decades this song was played in all military quarters when conscripts would finish their mandatory service. A service that was compulsory for all young men to do for about just under a year (longer for some). No salary. You only received a small symbolic amount of money.
In the early 1990s during my last week of military service it was played over and over again.

MUCK, is an abbreviation for call-out in civilian clothes after completed military service. I can promise that listening to that silly song put everyone in a good mood. The desire to defend the country was and is there, but it was only the fact that it was mandatory without payment that made this so-called MUCK so long-awaited.

I easily get in a good mood when I listen to music, but I want to be in the right mood for certain types of music.

When it feels right, a weird mix of Zappa and 1980's Toto-like styles/ influences is great for getting into a good mood.
Or if the U.K. influenced Zappa and Toto? In any case, Zappa considered Allan Holdsworth (in the U.K. song below) to be a superb guitarist:

Ha ha. My girlfriend at the time when the song was a hit was quite similar in appearance to the singer Lady Miss Kier. My girlfriend wasn't quite as groovy though.

Then maybe, like me, you'll be in a good mood when you hear:

Sweet memories with Gruppo Sportivo. Saw them live in the seventies, wonderful concert.

Endless loop play of all the albums of Peter White is my and wife's favorite during our long-long highway cruising...
