Not familiar with the song before this thread. Not bad. Not country, not jazz, but not bad.

Hadn't heard the song before, but all the videos put a smile on my face. Thanks for posting, Brian!

This would be cool to see some other groups like one of the oil co. employees or OG&E workers, etc. dancing to this. :)

I know you guys obviously don't follow popular music but "Happy" was #1 in the U.S. and about 20 other countries.

The OKC videos are take-off's of the original shot in Los Angeles:

You are right, Pete, about not following the current music, but I can certainly see why it is so popular. After watching these videos, I now have that catchy little tune stuck in my head! :)

We're watching all 24 hours of it, started at 00:00, currently at about 5:30 AM. Pretty interesting to see where they go, how they edit, etc. Some really great versions, some that are just time-fillers (a car driving around for about 5-6 plays of the song)...

Of course, Happy was from Despicable Me II but I really love the music in the first movie, also done by Pharrell Williams.
