Need a little pick up me today?  Listen to “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen.  It’s the best feel good song of all time.  According to a cognitive neuroscientist from the University of Groningen in Holland, there’s a specific formula that makes a feel good song. The scientist used the formula on 126 songs, and came up with this list.
