Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys has been revealed as the song that makes people happiest, according to a scientific formula developed by a university professor.
The 1966 hit single ticks all the boxes in the formula devised by Dr Michael Bonshor, who has a PhD in music psychology and has extensively researched music in relation to wellbeing.
To create a happy song, Dr Bonshor believes a combination of a major key, 7th chords, 137 BPM, strong beat, four beats in every bar, and a verse-chorus-verse-chorus structure, is a sure-fire way to produce one.
