Happy! The World's First 24-Hour Music Video
I'm no music buff, but I love kids' movies. I really wanted to see Despicable Me 2, but my 14 year-old grandson seems to have outgrown them. I can do the next best thing. I can see one of the songs from that movie, Pharrell Williams "Happy". It has just been published on the Internet as the world's first 2-hour music video.
The same song, over and over, for 24 hours.
And I love it.
Shot in LA neighnborhoods, it includes a host of 400 unknowns. You also get cameos from Steve Martin, Magic Johnson, Steve Carrell, Jamie Fox and Jimmy Kimmel.
You can't help watching it without felling ... well ... happy.
Above is a small clip.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Greggy's infamous karaoke video should be played 24 hours a day!! The world would be a happier place!!!
ReplyDeleteD'ya think? I love this video. The 24 hour one.
ReplyDeleteGood song, great video! I had you pegged as more of the Neil Sedaka, Englebert Humperdink type you never cease to amaze me Bernie.
ReplyDeleteWatched. Just seemed like typical ghetto rat music. Probably paid for with an Obama grant.
ReplyDeleteNice bigoted comment.
