I agree with all of these joyful songs that made the list.
Professor Michael Bonshor, who holds a PhD in music psychology and studies music and how it relates to our overall happiness, came up with a formula that determines the perfect happy song. These 10 songs meet all the criteria of that formula.
I wonder why "Happy" by Pharrell Williams didn't make the cut.
