I dare someone to listen to this and NOT be cheered up. Especially if you sing along when prompted. (Don't you just love the "follow the wig" graphic on the film during the sing-along? Wig out, man!)
Besides the catchy lyrics and the catchy beat that goes from candy pop to head-banging material and back, the song also has deeper meanings and is the climax to the story.
It shows how Hedwig is using the drag to cover his true self. ("Until I wake up, and turn back to myself.") And don't we all use something or someone to cover our true selves, at least at some point?
Of course, on the surface, it's also just bloody fun to sing-along to as you "put on some make-up"... rock out! :-D
