Music lovers have given thumbs up to the track and they tell us why.
Pursuit of happiness
Finding a ten pound note in an old pair of jeans and being told you've lost weight are the things that make us happiest, according to a new study. The poll of 3,000 adults, which set out to find the top 50 things that make people happy, also found that getting into a bed with freshly washed sheets or seeing an elderly couple holds hands also triggers our good mood.
