Griffinator Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 For pop I think this stuff is cool. Interesting thread I'm diggin it, thanks for the vids. I really like Tightrope and Get Lucky. If I was in a modern dance band I'd do those two in a heartbeat. I agree Happy is bubblegum'ish but hey, they're happy and I would rather my kids listen to this than rap about bitches and ho's. Bob Can't argue with that. My kid actually digs "Happy" - but only in small doses. I recently turned him on to early Radiohead - he really likes somber, depressing stuff - and he became an instant fan. I have hope for the future... A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazz+ Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Actually I am gonna play 'The Jody Grind' for the Verses (not 'In Crowd' or 'Compared To What') and use the 'Happy' Chorus and Bridge Harry was the Technical Editor of Mark Levine's "The Jazz Theory Book" and helped develop "The Jazz Piano Book."

Jazzmammal Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Was driving around SoCal yesterday, pulled up 94.7 The Wave and within a minute I'm Happy. It sounded pretty good on the radio actually. I was listening to the vocal harmonies, someone knows what they're doing with that. Bob Hammond SK1, Mojo 61, Kurzweil PC3, Korg Pa3x, Roland FA06, Band in a Box, Real Band, Studio One, too much stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a music producer (1/2 of The Neptunes production team), Pharrell has been cranking out records for quite some time. He's made a considerable bag of money prior to making the world "Happy" as a solo artist. PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

RABid Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Just watched the video and it is the first time I have heard it from beginning to end. Never listen to radio but a lot of local TV commercials use parts of the song. I expect to hear a lot of bands covering it badly with too much guitar and not enough backing harmonies.

Moon Zero Two Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Did it at a wedding couple of weeks ago and it packed the floor. I didn't sing but did do a clapping part. Had the sax play the harmony vocal line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
