Which Pop Songs Make the Best Lullabies?

By @InternJohnRadio

A British website called Cuckooland took what they determined were the 10 most classic lullabies, like"Rockabye Baby"and"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", and made a formula for the PERFECT song.

That song would be in the key of C, have 91 beats per minute, and a time signature of 4/4. Then they found some recent hit songs that are close enough to the formula that they might knock your little brats out, including:

"Only Human" by the Jonas Brothers, "You Need to Calm Down" by Taylor Swift,"Good As Hell" by Lizzo,"Hot Girl Summer" by Nicki Minaj, and of course "Old Town Road" byLil Nas X.

They also found one EXACT match. It's not exactly a new song, but it WAS a hit in its day: "One" byU2.
