[Music] Pharrell Williams – 告示榜冠軍單曲Happy @ Xavier 元創主義

文：Xavier

最近全球樂壇刮起一陣Happy旋風，起因就是Pharrell Williams的Happy這首歌實在太紅。Happy的威力有多驚人，從音樂榜的成績就能看出端倪，從去年底發行至今，Pharrell Williams的Happy陸陸續續在20多個國家的單曲榜拿下冠軍。根據美國Billboard Hot 100本周最新排名，Happy依然還是位居第一，已經賣了將近300萬張。

過去Pharrell Williams也發行過5支單曲，但成績都無法和Happy比擬，有的甚至賣的不怎樣。那為什麼這首Happy會這麼紅？這就得感謝電影Despicable Me 2 (神偷奶爸2)了，因為Happy正是神偷奶爸2的主題曲，剛好搭了電影熱賣的順風車。

Happy歌如其名，聽起來相當愉悅，給一種不自主想跟著哼唱、扭動身體的感覺。日前Happy也獲得奧斯卡金像獎最佳原創歌曲的提名，但最後敗給冰雪奇緣的Let It Go (請參閱【冰雪奇緣主題曲： Idina Menzel – Let It Go】一文)。

Pharrell Williams– Happy 歌詞：

Chorus:
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Verse 2:
Here come bad news talking this and that
Yeah, give me all you got, don’t hold back
Yeah, well I should probably warn you I’ll be just fine
Yeah, no offense to you don’t waste your time
Here’s why

Chorus:
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Happy, come on, bring me down
Happy, come on, bring me down
Love is too happy to bring me down
Come on, bring me down
I said bring me down
Come on, bring me down
Love is too happy to bring me down
Come on, bring me down
