The Boo Radleys' hit 'Wake Up Boo' has been named the most feel good song of all time by a mathematical formula.
The 1995 number nine summer anthem by the Britpop rockers was given the accolade by Dr Thomas Chamorro-Premuzixm, a psychology lecturer at Goldsmiths College.
Using a formula which calculates the pitch, positive lyrics, tonality, beats per minute, serotonin levels and images associated with the music, he created a top ten list of the most feel good hits.
Also on the list were hits by the Beach Boys, the Jackson 5 and The Darkness.
Chamorro-Premuzic said: "Film composers use music to intensify the mood of a scene to affect the viewer's emotions and there is a formula to this."
