Today is your day Boomer! I'm pickin' up good vibrations....She's giving me excitations....I'm pickin' up good vibrations....She's giving me excitations....Good, good, good, good vibrations! Boomers, remember this great Beach Boys' song from 1966? It has been rated as the "happiest song of all time". Who says so? His name is Michael Bonshor, and the musicologist has claimed that its joyful nature is based on the fact that it ticks all the boxes of his special formula, including being written in 137BPM, in a major key with a short intro and bright tones, and it contains four beats in every bar. "Alongside this, cheery songs usually have a strong 1-2-1-2 beat to them, so that you can dance along – and a short introduction means the song kicks off with a bang straight away, and there’s not a long build up. We like high volume when it comes to how our happy songs are made, with notes played in a bright and bouncy way by instruments such as trumpets or electric guitars, instead of mellower instruments. Finally, a repetitive rhythm or guitar riff that people can latch onto and becomes memorable is the cherry on the cake.” Okay, I will have to listen to the song again. It is on my song list on my I-phone, but I haven't listened to it for awhile. Knowing nothing about "musicology", I would also like to nominate another song that gets me smiling and happy: "Here Comes The Sun" by The Beatles! Boomers, do you have any suggestions?
