Okay.

What about happy?

Do

It is a question, isn't it?

Happy?

Uh, Pharrell Williams.

Ooh, we play Pharrell Williams?

No, God, no.

Okay.

Great song, though.

It's so happy.

Good.

According to a professor's research, he's got a list of the top 10 happiest songs.

Do you have any idea of some happy songs?

You said Pharrell Happy is a good one.

Are just rock songs or just in general?

These ones look to be a lot of rock and pop.

At least in the top ten according to this particular professor

Walking on sunshine by Katrina and the waves that's got to be

on there.

Yeah, not in the top ten, but

a good

one Yeah, no it definitely

that could be more

happy than that song How about this?

I'll start at number ten September by earth wind and fire absolutely hundred percent makes me smile every time Waterloo

by Abba now

No, not at all.

Uh, why MCA by the Village People?

There's nothing happy about Waterloo.

I'm sorry,

what?

There's a particular band that gets two songs in the top ten according to this London professor.

Okay.

Uh, it's the Beach Boys.

Um,

uh, I get around?

Yes, that's number seven.

Nicely done.

And, um, wouldn't it be nice?

Ooh, that is a good one.

Yeah.

Good vibrations is

actually

number one.

OK, because he's cracked the code.

He says that the song has to be in a major key with 137 beats per minute.

And on YouTube, somebody wrote this particular song.

It's called The Lighter Note, and it's supposed to be making you feel happy.

Yeah, that makes me happy Russ's eyebrows

went

up.

Yeah, he's smiling Yeah So if you're having a bad day like yesterday when you woke up and your back wasn't feeling right

just play this I could how about sweet Caroline was that on the list?

No, but it should be should be it's the greatest song ever recorded

There's no better.

No, I can see that I

Think of songs that make me happy.

go for a soda by Kim Wilson Kim Kim Kim go for a soda Kim something I can't remember his last name.

He's Canadian.

Yeah

Probably why I don't

know it.

You'll probably revoke my rock card, but what was it?

Carly Ray Jepsen called me.

Maybe fantastic 100% I'm all

in fantastic love anything by what's his name?

The Hawaiian kid.

I think he's Hawaiian He was an Elvis impersonator as a child Don Ho.

Oh, he's current

I'm gonna have to say go fish.

I don't know

really.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm gonna need a little bit

more from you somebody help me when we see if somebody

I'm phoning a friend.

Somebody online knows exactly who I'm talking about.

Oh, the turtles happy together.

Oh, good.

That's a very good song.

Wait a minute.

I'm getting a message.

OK.

No, not Don Ho.

He's a kid.

He's current.

He's like in his 20s.

And he does pop music that's very happy and fun and uptempo.

And he sounds a lot like maybe Michael Jackson beats.

I'm all in.

I like this.

Just

because I listened to so much black metal, and maybe that's why.

Yeah, black metal makes me happy.

Yeah, exactly.

Cindy Goodwin, come on, Cindy.

Cindy's sending me a message.

Bruno Mars,

that's it.

I would not have picked that based upon your descriptions.

Really?

Well, he's a little Hawaiian

looking dude.

Fair enough, but I wouldn't have gone... If you would have told me he's trying to impersonate Prince, boom, I would have got it.

Okay.

I don't know why.

But I think he's trying to take the best of James Brown and the best of Prince.

And yes, Bruno Mars, 100 percent.

Every song,

every song he does makes me smile.
