Don’t Stop Me Now (Queen)
This song topped the list not just because it feels really happy, but also because science said so. In a study conducted by scientists, they surveyed over 2,000 people and this song came out on top of the ones that made them really happy. Although it is a very happy song because of its positive lyrics, the story behind it was a bit sad. This was during the time when the band’s lead vocalist, Freddie Mercury was battling drugs and sex. The song may be happy, but it was actually about him wanting to do anything and won’t be stopped by anyone whether they like it or not. The song didn’t really take off when it was first released, but it became an iconic song eventually. It has also been revived by many artists with their own versions. The overall feel of the song is still happy and positive despite the changes in tempo and key.
