Good Vibrations puts us in the holiday mood
The Beach Boys' classic 'Good Vibrations' has been named the song most likely to put people in the holiday mood.
Despite the gloomy weather 19 percent of people surveyed said hearing the 1966 tune would pick them up and make them think of being on holiday.
The survey of 1,000 people - commissioned by Jet2holidays.com - saw Cliff Richard's 'Summer Holiday' come second with 15%, 'Club Tropicana' by Wham! third with 11%.
The travel website is now paying buskers across the UK to play the top 5, which also includes Ricky Martin's 'Livin La Vida Loca' and' Summer Nights' by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.
Given that the cities where the buskers will play include Newcastle, Manchester and Leeds we can't help but think that 'Singing in the Rain' could be a more accurate selection.
Richard Bodin, of Jet2holidays said: "The weather has been pretty bad so far this winter and there’s a lot of general doom and gloom around, so we wanted to do something a bit different to get the public back into the holiday spirit."
