Five feel-good parodies of Pharrell's Happy for International Day of Happiness
Because today is the day you should feel like a room without a roof
Today is International Day of Happiness. Yes, that's a thing, the UN decided it. So you need to feel happy. All day. No grumbling on the tube (of course that lady's bag needs a seat), no moaning at work (you love deadlines!) and no sending the kids to bed early (so what if they used felt tips on the walls?).
Pharrell is involved of course. He wrote the song Happy. It makes perfect sense. He's keen for us, yes you and I, to upload pictures of ourselves, which will be turned into one almighty gif, set to the Happy track.
To get you in that feel-good place, here's a whole load of versions of Pharrell's smash-hit track. There's dogs, there's new lyrics, there's a dancing C-3PO. I know, with this article, it'll be International Day of Happiness every day. Well, until you're truly sick of this song and you want it to be International Weep like a Small Child Day...
The Family Guy version
Clap along with the various voices of Family Guy – from Peter Griffin to Stewie – as they give it all they've got (thanks to the efforts of YouTuber Mikey Bolts).
