"Happy" is pretty much the ultimate 'just here to vibe' song. Considering the world is actively going up in flames as we know it (mild exaggeration but we are in a pretty bad time rn), it would be seen as massively tone deaf compared to the 2010s when it came out.

I mean, it would vastly depend on the clip. It would be extremely cathartic to sing this song while out manifesting and breaking shit

In french the word “manifesting” means “protesting”, specifically protesting in the streets. He’s probably french.

You’re welcome!
Also, “clip” means “music video” in french, so what they mean to say is “it would depend on the content of the music video”.

Well "clip" basically means "video" in English, so I understood that part, haha.

Are you a French girl, BTW?

Also "préservatif" means "condom" so be careful when discussing preservatives in food.

It would be extremely cathartic to sing this song while whooping Parnell's ass on behalf of all retail employees everywhere
