SCIENCE: QUEEN’S ‘DON’T STOP ME NOW’ IS THE WORLD’S MOST UPLIFTING SONG
Thanks to the Bohemian Rhapsody film, Queen are once again the biggest band in the world. Before the smash hit, however, a scientific study on the uplifting effects of music named Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” as the world’s most effective song to make you feel good.
How does science measure the “feel-good” levels of a song? Here’s the formula:
Essentially, the formula measures beats per minute, the scale in which the song was written and how many different chords are used. These three factors, according to Dr. Jacob Jolij, are the key components to feel-good songs. Lyrical themes were also taken into consideration for this study.
“A feel good song is very personal. Music is intimately linked with memory and emotion, and these associations strongly determine whether a song will put you in a good mood or not,” says Dr. Jolij.
“However, there are some key criteria for composers to consider when creating feel good songs - namely lyrical theme, musical key and tempo. Holiday-themed lyrics naturally remind us of happy times, while a major third musical key sounds happy to our ears and something we associate with confidence. A high tempo of 150 beats per minute also subconsciously triggers a sense of energy. Combine these three ingredients together and you have the formula for the perfect ‘feel-good’ song.” [via Telegraph]
While ranking popular music from the last 50 years, “Don’t Stop Me Now” hit the No. 1 spot, while ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” and the Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations” claimed No. 2 and No. 3, respectively.
Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” takes the No. 5 spot, while Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer” was placed at No. 7. Check out the full Top 10 below.

Repertoire of my feel-good songs lain sikit, paradoks sangat The songs in the list only stimulate me to feel sad. Lagu abba yang buat saya bersemangat dan gembira semacam is Fernando
"If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, fernando
There's no regret....." Yawww marimba....
Dancing queen tu, I had to put up a facade, sebab tak nak nampak pelik sangat zaman dulu2, orang menari2 pusing2 main maracas, tambourine, kau gi menangis apsal
Terbayang kekertuan bila dengar lagu cyndie lauper lol, mustahil tak sedih

Tak pernah tak semangat dengar lagu ni
We're leaving together,
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back
To earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground (leaving ground)
Will things ever be the same again?
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
Oh
We're heading for Venus (Venus)
And still we stand tall
'Cause maybe they've seen us (seen us)
And welcome us all, yeah
With so many light years to go
And things to be found (to be found)
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown
Oh
The final countdown, oh
It's the final count down
The final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown
Oh
It's the final count down
We're leaving together
The final count down
We'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown
It's the final countdown
Oh
It's the final countdown, yeah

The Best by Tina Turner
I call you when I need you
When my heart's on fire
You come to me, come to me
Wild and wired
You come to me,
Give me everything I need
Give me a lifetime of promises
And a world of dreams
Speak the language of love
Like you know what it means
It can't be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong, baby
You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart
Baby, I would rather be dead
In your heart I see the start
Of every night and every day
In your eyes I get lost
I get washed away
Just as long as I'm here in your arms
I could be in no better place
You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, no, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
Each time you leave me I start losing control
You're walking away with my heart and my soul
I can feel you even when I'm alone,
Oh, baby, don't let go!
You're the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
