...One of the worst songs in his entire catalog.

Its kinda obvious IMO if you know his catalog.

The falsetto is just too much.

The lyrics are way too simple for an artist like him looking at his days in N*E*R*D and even his solo features

The melody is too predictable on that "revive the 60s black church" sound that soul singers are always chasing a la Bruno Mars or Adele.

I'm not mad at its appeal...but its not a good song...and definitely not one of Pharrell's best.

The song is nice. Something the whole family can enjoy. I know your a fan of prominent rappers on the hiphop scen like Fly Young Red, Young Thug, Drake, ASAP Rocky, or the thousands of other "moist" MCs that are being forced onto us, the masses. Of course this all occurs courtesy your homies in the gay mafia.

Therefore, given the slim picking of suitable music on the radio, a song that doesn't overtly promote various depraved activities like murder, sodomy, whoredom, or the increased degradation of our society (like 99% of the rot currently blasting from the urban airwaves) automatically gets a pass in my book.

It doesn't hurt that the song is assoicated with one of the best animated movies to come out in a long while...DESPICABLE ME 2.

Now everyone sing!

I'm tired of it, personally. If all it was was just a song from a kids movie, then fine. But it's become way too big. Not his faul, but it is what it is

And you got ppl out here with bad attitudes, but then they wanna front & sing the song when it comes on. :stopitslime: :camby: Yo ass ain't happy.


"Don't Worry Be Happy" >>>> "Happy"

Um...there is a preview button. :mjpls:

While we're at it that "wheels on the bus" song is repetitive :trash:

I know what I read. There is a preview button. Hold your cursor over the thread title and you'll see a preview of the thread. :mjpls:
"in an effort to get ppl to click on the topic, like there's a preview button we can see what your going to say"

Not "they're acting like there's a preview button"

its "Like, there is a preview button and we can see what you are going to say"
