Only last week, some Babcock University students put out their own Happy video. Well earlier this week, the owner of the song, Pharrell appeared on Oprah’s Prime show to talk about the success of the song and was moved to tears when he was played a clip of different videos made by fans from countries spanning the entire globe.
In the beginning, Pharrell said his song got “zero airplay.”
“And then we put out the video on Nov. 21 and all of a sudden … boom,” he told Winfrey, 60.
“We were like, ‘What’s happening?’ People were putting up their own videos … it was like no longer my song.”
This song is a testimony of how music unites us all.
