'Don't Stop Me Now' by Queen wins first place in the ranking of songs that have a positive impact on mood.

According to a study conducted by cognitive neuroscientist Jacob Jolij of the University of Groningen, this famous track is the most encouraging in the world.

The research, commissioned by a well-known electronics brand, analyzed various factors, including the beats per minute, the key, and the chords of the song. According to Jolij, combining these elements gives the formula for the perfect 'feel-good song'.

Here are the top 10 songs that put you in a good mood according to the study:
Queen, "Don't Stop Me Now"
ABBA, "Dancing Queen"
Beach Boys, "Good Vibrations"
Billy Joel, "Uptown Girl"
Survivor, "Eye of the Tiger"
The Monkees, "I'm a Believer"
Cyndi Lauper, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"

Today is the UN World Happiness Day, would you believe?!!
Not a lot to be happy about these days with conflicts in Ukraine, Palestine and other remote parts of the world.
What is the heck is the United Nations doing?
It can manage to produce a report, see details athttps://happiness-report.s3.amazonaws.com/2024/WHR+24.pdf
but is incapable of dealing with the real issues and major conflicts at hand. It is simply a debating chamber for politicians to express their views, manipulate the media and enjoy a duty free jolly at everyone's expense. Time for a revolution?
