OK following cheerful European song (6,4)

I believe the answer is:

bright eyes

'song' is the definition.
(Art Garfunkel song)

'ok following cheerful european' is the wordplay.
'ok' becomes 'yes' (I've seen this before).
'following' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'cheerful' becomes 'bright'.
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'bright'+'e'='brighte'
'yes' put after 'brighte' is 'BRIGHT EYES'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
