Since the video is so dope, I'll just post the embed. It's also on the Despicable Me II soundtrack and won a Grammy for such. As you'll see at the end, there's even a 24 Hours of Happy video, where the song plays on a loop and people all over the entire world dance to it. There were even some in the ME who went to jail over it because of national prohibition on dancing.

Well, that song has overwhelmingly blanketed pop culture damned near everywhere. I don't listen to radio at all and hardly ever watch TV, and I've heard "happy" a few times. As mentioned earlier, it even rose to the level of serious news story where people in idiotic, repressive, backward countries were arrested for dancing to it.

I've never heard the song, and never heard of Pharrell or Daft Punk.
I'm listening to Grand Funk Railroad right now. No regrets. |

Seriously. I love the stuff I loved when I was a kid, but I'm constantly looking for, and enjoying new music.
And people who say there isn't any good music anymore are full of shit. They're just too set in their ways, or too lazy to look for it. |

Wait... so you've never heard of them, yet you believe them to be crap? Good way of thinking.

If my only option was the radio, I would. But thanks to the internet I have an entire world of music, books and movies that i would never have had the chance to experience without it. I know that sounds corny, but it's true. I'm not a music expert by any means but I do have fairly wide ranging tastes. I like a bit of everything from classical to bluegrass to 80's metal. I don't care for rap (outside of the Beastie Boys of course) or modern pop/country. I find techno about as soulless as light jazz. Is it possible that I could stumble across a song that I like from one of those genres? Yes. But it's extremely unlikely. Why bother keeping track of top 40 stuff when I can spend my time digging through stuff from Hank Sr, Ali Farka Touré, Led Zep bootlegs, obscure British garage bands, and forgotten rockabilly artists? This what I'm listening to now: Old I know, but so am I. |
