If you don't hate Happy, I don't think you've felt human emotion

Haha yes completely agree this song and another that was from the despicable me soundtrack were constantly playing in the store I worked in at the time. Even before it became a huge hit it was on alllll the time

That era... I still have PTSD from it.

That's very specific... Did that actually happen?

Didn't work retail during those years and I still hate it lol

😂

They be literally saying this on songs from a year ago no matter what year it is. Yeah it's depressing. Like people who say black eyed peas peaked in 2009 when they fell off after 2005. Feel free to disagree but this is the power of nostalgia. Hard for a millennial to understand when a song from 2010s is someone's "childhood song"

" Who's still listening to this in 2...." SHUT UP

I can't fathom the type of human that searches up Happy to listen to casually

@@stebe5999 sounding pretty self-righteous, people can listen to what they like

Relatable

Do we get that one Ed Sheeran single with the next year's list, or was it 2016? Because I feel like I'm going to relate

Basically every retrospect he's done has just reminded me of songs I have a negative Pavlovian response to.

Kroger only plays this and shit from the 2000s like Coldplay 🤮🤮

Happy makes me so fucking mad to this day lmao

Royals came out in 2013 didn't it?

It's the look that a stalker gives the target of their "affection" right before physically attacking them.

It's creepy as hell. I took issue with that "body positivity" song bec it shits on skinny people. How is it positive to maginalize and insult one body type to lift up your own?

@@rumo1086 it's not. You probably know this by now, but anything with a lot of money behind it trying to sell you a product or service will do whatever to get you to buy their stuff. They don't care about the actual substance or underlying meaning of their words, because they know most people don't go that deep. In all honesty, not that this applies to you, but in general, if someone feels they need the products they consume to tell them how to think and feel about themselves or society, they actually need a therapist. Or to read a book.

What has he written for Stevie Wonder? He hasn't release a song in decades.

@@noahmay7708 Faith, the song from the Sing movie lol. But he's written better songs for other artists lmao

What songs did he write for 1D?

@@bicuriousdirtbikeboi2594 For 1d he's only written Right Now, from Midnight Memories. He also wrote Say It All for Liam Payne, from LP1.

You mean Ryan Tedder? (I'm a fan btw) He's insanely versatile when it comes to writing songs and song production. He has scored 3 Grammys for producing albums. No wonder Billboard gave him the nickname "Undercover king of pop" in 2016 😭😭

Luckily, my crush listened to James Taylor and I ended up bought Sweet Baby James.

I’m sorry. I heard one song and thought she was actually from the South and then felt stupid when I heard an interview and realized she was Australian...my husband will likely bring it up when I’m 70.

That should’ve been your first clue she wasn’t the one 😂

I did something similar lol a girl I liked in high school recommended me the K-12 movie and it was singlehandedly the worst film I’ve ever seen. It was literally hard to sit through

I'd assume he feels like a room without a roof

I just imagine Pharrell, dirty and disheveled in a dark room, staying up for weeks at a time without food trying to produce the next big pop song. Somehow out of the madness and confusion comes Happy, and the word was never the same. Pharrell is happy…

You can always play this song at .5x speed and you get the real version.

It's just "if you're happy and you know it clap your hands"

Pharrell is why Common named his album that year "Nobody's Smiling". One of his best late career albums too.

Damn you young asf lol 😂

Your childhood??? I feel like an old head

Why are you letting someone *else* tell you the quality of music?

You grew up "jamming" to Katy Perry and Jason Derulo? That makes me feel so much better about my own childhood.

I'm about to go full oldhead and say your childhood sucked compared to mine like you weren't even around to hear Nelly and Tim McGraw drop their collab

What in the north Korea are School announcement Videos? Daily?

I really don't think the song is bad though, it was just overplayed into the f*cking ground

Bruh my teacher used to do that too every Friday u sure we weren’t in the same class

@@leifschannel US HS student here. We had them in middle school-still do in HS. We have them everyday and ours are run by one of the school coaches. Idk if this is similar for other kids, but for ours the coach announces birthdays, games/practices, student achievements (like getting student of the month or something) and what’s for lunch that day. Pretty much exactly what it sounds like.

Did you feel like a room without a roof though?

Seriously, not enough people realize that each succession of the chorus is the dude asking again and being told no in different (and increasingly passive aggressive) ways. It's kinda hilarious but kinda sucks if the song is supposed to be taken seriously. That being said, I enjoy it and it's certainly better than most of what was on the list for 2014

Its retarded but super catchy 🤣🤣

And he's so melodramatic about it. Like chill dude, him not giving his blessing for you to marry his daughter doesn't translate to him saying you're not even human. Maybe he just has higher standards for his daughter than "a human being".

Rude is so weird I've never been able to figure it out.

He says "I'm gonna marry her anyway" but still asks the father two more times.

I'm not a fan of Iggy but she's definitely had a fair amount of success, idk about 1 hit wonder

iggy is actually a two hit wonder believe it or not. the song she did with rita ora popped off, peaked at like no 3

Don't forget Charli was also on that Icona Pop, I love it track as well.

Charli's career is amazing too her lockdown album is so good

She also made a song for The Fault In Our Stars that same year

I was looking for this comment.. I was working at the Microsoft Store when it first dropped, and the GM loaded the KZfaq video on the Xbox in the front of the store and made us repeat it all day long for like 2 and a half months. Bro it was torture.

😆🤣😂

I remember the Pokémon parody of it

exactly, imo there's no way it's worse than happy lol

It’s so good

apologize is miles better than that trash

Idk, I mean maybe the lyrics aren't all that interesting or inspired but I feel like there's a lot of structure and thought put behind a lot of small things in the song, I like how it's done a lot, and I don't know a lot of songs that are as mainstream and catchy and that I like in that way

I have nostalgia for the 90s and the 2000s. Then techno mainstream happened in the late 2000s and I think it ruined a lot overall

Here in the UK I feel like 2014 wasn't that bad for radio hits, there were some club songs I can't remember the name of now which were enjoyable. 2013 was awful though

@@brandonayong5823 Still called EDM, techno is a underground genre that never got popular in the mainstream.

God, I’m glad someone else holds this opinion. Literally every time I said I hated it, people told me I was crazy for it and I didn’t understand why. It was repetitive, obnoxious, and just INESCAPABLE . I remember they played it at my junior high prom and I literally left the dance hall until it was over, my friends wondered where I went lmao

I mean people don't want to be told to be happy generally

@@brandonayong5823 I don't think the issue is people not wanting to be happy, but rather that being told that you have to be happy above everything else when you just can't find the energy for it is.... nauseating. It's like being told "just don't be sad" when you are depressed.

Hold on. Really? Holy shit.

What’s the Bechdel test again?

WAP?

Source?

this is not true, but the Bechdel test has never actually been a serious metric of feminist critique outside of Buzzfeed. even Alison Bechdel, in the comic it comes from, was just using this "test" (for those unaware, whether a movie has a scene with two women talking with each other about something other than a man) as a joke. like, yeah, it's an interesting observation that so much of media thinks women can only ever think about guys, but the test Bechdel's characters came up with was just an excuse for them to go watch Alien (iirc-may have been Aliens) at the theater. it's cute and fun, a very quintessential queer comic, but not the unilateral, analytical framework it has been built up to be just cuz it has a catchy name and is a fun game to play. many movies pass the Bechdel test superficially, and are completely anti-feminist (see: the Pitch Perfect series and their fatphobia, queerbaiting, etc.), while lots of films with actually really great, empowering women leads fail the test (see: Pacific Rim). it has always been entirely meaningless by itself, and is only a decent tool for showing _wider trends_ in Western cinema. Bechdel herself has routinely had to clear this up for pop feminists who take it as gospel, recently creating a new proviso, so that white pop feminists don't go around degrading movies which, say, focus on the experience of gay men (as happened earlier this year when someone decided to act like a dingus and say a movie about gay Asian men got an "F-" on the Bechdel test; they apologized, but Bechdel also stepped in to say that the movie passed actually the test).

That is honestly the only positive that I can think of when it comes to that song.

Don't forget "Handy" as well

It was actually one of those songs that I wished Weird Al didn't do a parody of, just so I don't have to hear that deadly soulless choir that resembles total entropy once again.

White and nerdy still clears

*superstar*😭 She's disappeared less than a year later

Iggy would've gotten to stardom regardless of Charli. the music industry was trying to make an annoying white woman a major rapper for some time.
