Hey, groovy! :-)
My college's dance concert did a piece to this song. It just doesn't get more cheerful, dudes!
Show us what sets you apart from the next person.
Okay, this is a weird answer. Sorry in advance.
My brother and I have this weird...ability? I guess? We can each move the lower eyelid on our right eye voluntarily. It's kind of hard to explain. Anyway, I've never met anyone else who can do it (though it's not a common subject in conversation!) and no one else in our family can do it. We can't do it with our left eye, just the right.
Show us your favorite t-shirt.

For some reason, I read the question as "person you want to be like when you're old", so I'm just going to answer like that.
For the sheer awesomeness, I would love to be Dame Helen Mirren: classy and confident.
But for a "real-life" role model, I would have to choose my great-grandma Julia as a role model.
She died when I was 13 or so, but her children and grandchildren all revere her memory. She was a woman full of life and laughter. I wasn't around her that often, but I don't have one single memory of her being upset or angry. She delighted in spoiling her grandkids and great-grandkids, earning her the nickname "Grandma Trouble". The nurses who took care of her at the end of her life adored her, and shared their fond memories of her at her funeral. Grandma Julia gave meaning the cliche, "a life well lived", going through her days in love and faith.
This is all very sappy, but she was a wonderful and funny old broad. My best memory of her was at her 80th birthday party. My grandpa put together a box of funny and meaningful things, and at one point he pulled out this gigantic bra. (Grandma Trouble was a big lady, both bustwise and otherwise.) We all laughed, her the loudest, and she exclaimed, "I don't even wear those things anymore!" My poor little brother was so traumatized. ;-)
