Obviously, that’s a matter of personal choice, but scientifically, there is one song above others that makes people happy. Professor Michael Bonshor, who has a PhD in music psychology and studies music in relation to well-being, has developed a formula that determines the perfect happy song. And the song that meets all the criteria of that formula is The Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations.” Here are the Top 10 Happy Songs, according to Dr. Bonshor’s formula:
- "Good Vibrations” – The Beach Boys
- “I Got You” (I Feel Good) – James Brown
- “House of Fun” – Madness
- “Get the Party Started” – Pink
- “Uptown Girl” – Billy Joel
- “Sun Is Shining” – Bob Marley
- “I Get Around” – The Beach Boys
- “YMCA” – Village People
- “Waterloo” – ABBA
- “September” – Earth, Wind & Fire
