Agree on all points. This is the kind of stuff we need more of.
You should give it a listen...you might be surprised.
I think that about the tenth time I heard it I realized it’s not about someone who is happy, but rather someone who is profoundly depressed desperately trying to convince himself he’s happy.
That song is destined to be a standard.
google “pharell GQ tea party” if you want to see what an ignorant schmuck he is in reality.
I disagree. "Frozen" is an inspiring song. Something I'd like to tell my sons. Sarah Bareilles album with that song is full of really good songs.
Yes he support the Hildabeast for President and consider Tea Party Members as RACIST. That is enough for me to consider him a douche bag no matter how HAPPY is song is.
Thank you for your thoughtful and nuanced review.
Pharrell who? What song?
So you give it a 78? :—)
I always enjoy complex songs with many layers, attacks, pauses, rests, key changes, crescendos, etc. They always keep you guessing. One of the best in recent years is the the Opening Titles song to "John Adams" by Rob Lane. Very martial music. Sends chills down my spine every time.
Absolutely. That's why it is such a nice surprise to see this particular song be such a big hit. Maybe people are getting a wee bit tired of twenty years of rap garbage.
Fighting words to my 8-year-old daughter and her gang of friends who belt out "Let it go" in its entirety at least once a day.
LOL, I’m sure! My own daughter (who is grown up) says “Let it Go” grows on you, for your sake I hope that’s right!
To my grand daughters also. I’ve lost count of how many times I have heard that plus Do You Want To Build A Snowman.
(P)resident Obama has already bookmarked that video for use in the event there is another terrorist attack anywhere in the world.
I have to admit that this song makes me break out in a great big smile and makes me want to dance every time I hear it.
That and I have triplet great nieces and their parents, who refer to them as the “Minions” put together a Despicable Me themed dance party to celebrate their 6th birthdays along with their 7 year old older sister who has her birthday a week later. They rented a fire hall, made some of the food themselves including Minion cookies and a Minion themed birthday cake and also ordered many, many pizzas and had a friend of theirs who is a professional DJ, DJ the party. Each kid got to invite 3 of their friends from school so along with all their cousins and the neighbor’s kids and their step sister and two of their cousins who are half black, and my oldest great niece’s very best friend who is Japanese; there were probably about 30 kids in all.
I got such a kick out of watching all these little kids dancing and having fun; dancing from everything from the chicken dance and the hokey pokey and YMCA and the Pennsylvania Polka and the Electric Slide and the more recent Cha Cha Slide and even an Elvis song, and the theme song from Frozen, Let It Go and other songs from that movie. But the very best part was at the very end of the party, watching all the little kids and all the adults, including me and the parents and the grandparents all dance to Happy. : ), It was great fun : ),
Chic – “Good Times”. Another song played at just about every wedding I’ve ever been to since the early 80’s along with “I Will Survive”. LOL!
I agree that while “Good Times” was considered a big “disco” hit at the time, Rodgers is a great funk guitarist - much more funk than disco.
My eldest great niece who is 20 years old loves and is a huge fan of Daft Punk and has gained an appreciation of the classic funk of the 70’s as a result.
Yep, sounds like fun alright!
