Goldfrapp - Happiness

[Operion2000]

cool song

[ViergeVraie]

a natural high

[ellarosebop]

Its spongebob in human form!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[emo00bunny00bop]

he must have had ALOT of redbull!

[bethheyhey76]

His calves must be rocks...

[111emoelmo]

lol i cant belive this song is about joining colt XD

[nothingUneed2no]

i adore this song but those jumps seem strained.

[ilovegirls123ful]

my day was sucking til i heard ths song

[TrickyEmu]

This is why I hate these hipster songs. Come, do that in my neighborhood.

[onewhoisrad]

@TrickyEmu

mk, stop calling it hipster, all that is is a name sad excuses for existance call happy joyfull poeple

stop bieng jelouse of my joy, it pisses me off

[TrickyEmu]

@onewhoisrad Jsut look at the recommneded video on the right. Santogold and this shit. That's not music. It's just feel-good bullshite paired with a clip where a douche jumps around. I swear I hate hipsters for trying to kill music.

[MomoTheEmoPeach]

@TrickyEmu

Wow. Classifying a song as part of some sort of pseudo-culture that it definitely doesn't belong too based on the content of the video. That makes a whole lot of sense, doesn't it? How is a man in a white suit hopping around 'hipster'? How is Goldfrapp herself 'hipster'?

By the way, It's a music video. The artist is free to depict whatever the hell they want.

[TheUncleJeremy]

hmm he seems to be causing a lot of havoc though. Throwing down the mail persons stuff. Throwing garbage lids and running in front of cars.

[RhythmInDiscord]

I swear if I hear that fucking beatboxing asian one more time..

[Grendel938]

@RhythmInDiscord What are you talking about?

[stickman225]

he enjoys white stuff. lots of it. long lines of powdery fluffy white stuff. hehe

[Jynical]

I'd fall on my ass. A lot.

[backwardrawkcab]

I'm hoppy hoppy (watch me win over the cops) we work together you should know.

[BabyGirlGoddess]

when i first heard this song, i though "wow..this is just a happy song. really 'feel good' type of feeling" now that I actually hear the lyrics. all i can say is "wow. this song seems happy, but has a darker/deeper meaning"

i think this song is about cults and about people's constant quest for happiness. and how alot of people are willing to spend ALOT of money just to find their happiness.

[KalaniDearest]

This song sounds like a dream.

[niekose1]

94 people don't have any Happiness.

[xXiEaTyOuRFaCeXx94]

ahahaaha awesome XD this song is amazing, he makes me want to hop with him!! :D hehe haha this song really brings happiness hehe

[celerityblur]

He reminds me of one of my fellow cross country runners which explains how he can jump that long

[potchocolate]

Screw vevo for banning this video in my country . Does not stop me from using a American VPN to watch it.

[TwilightLover2595]

@potchocolate if you're not offended by my asking could you tell me which country that is?

[Amybaiby]

I wonder how many times he fell, making this video

[hotmamakasia]

lol

[bigpimpdaddy69]

its ironic that its called happiness since its the happiest song of all time. no one can be mad while listening to this

[Amybaiby]

@bigpimpdaddy69 You can be bitter while watching this. That guy is happy, yeah, but he keeps pissing people off with his happiness. The way the song is narrated, to me, implies that happy people are annoying. Like... "fuck happiness, I'm nuetral and that's cool." but kind of a jealous tone too.

[lesliegg1961]

He did make me smile in the beginning but I can't help but think that had to hurt his feet...and back. That was a long time!

[DRS8503]

Looks like a hip hop video. LOL

[CaloKissable]

@DRS8503 loser arse joke.

[kaijurajinx]

@DRS8503

I thought it was funny...

[6235river]

@DRS8503 *buh dum tss*

[RecordingDHumanBody]

wonderful!

[oftruthiness]

There's a break at 2:51, so he didn't hop the whole time, but still, it's a hell of a lot of hopping.

[franjos2]

@oftruthiness Yeah I noticed that break too. There are probably a few other subtle splice jobs in there. The part where he goes behind the car at 0:43 looks suspicious.

[Thatguy895]

what exactly is this song about?

[timmdunn]

@Thatguy895  The song is about joining a cult ;)

[Thatguy895]

@timmdunn are you kidding.....

[bookworm359]

watching him makes me want to hop too

[mrbrandonsam123]

Makes me want to jumo for a long time :)

[RainbowCowsxx]

Watching that guy so happy made me smile :D

[RamTerritory]

I like how his jumping is in sync with the beat

[nittyismyname]

lol! 3:08 almost killed me! XD

[OpearlsdreamO]

that guy must have amazing calfs

[paramoreFan642]

the first time i saw this music video i was trying to stay up to see a Paramore music video but i never did just this one then a couple of days ago it popped in to my head so i looked it up.

[spaceorbison]

Yeah try doing that shit in my neighborhood.

[FavreianVengeance]

@spaceorbison

Who gives a fuck about your neighborhood then.

[spaceorbison]

@FavreianVengeance You sound mad.

[hotstuffshutup]

I DONT GET IT

[ednixon]

Nice copy of the original concept from 1953, Bobby Van "Take Me To Broadway'

[needleonthevinyl]

So every time I watch this video at the end I realize that I'm sitting in my chair smiling and panting. And then get confused, and then realize that just a few seconds before I had been hopping happily around the room.

[ruhrohh]

The dog hopping around towards the end - perfect.

[ruhrohh]

I cannot stop smiling, watching him jump.

[vampire9545]

like this comment if your here because of SciFi(SyFy)

[SerafinaP86]

This song is sooooo creepy and hilarious at the same time! The lyrics are freaky. Still love the song though :D

[EricsMyVampirekarlek]

lol THIS GUY. omg

[puppanda1]

This video paid homage to Bobby Van's "Take me to Broadway"!!!! Awesome!

[UnleashTheFuckinBats]

That hoppity man is so cute! :3

I love this

[mdjordon]

WOW I know that guy was sick of jumping after a minute. lol Awsome video, made my day!

[BlackWolfV5]

Dang this guy had a lot of stamina to jump that long

[elliesaurie]

This makes me happy.

[MsCampobasso]

He has some good knees there.

[tisthesarahdactyl]

2:55 :

"today a hopping man in a white suit came up to me and gave me a bouquet of flowers. MLIA."

[madmanmuntz]

That's a happy hoppin' fool

[jbblue48089]

Before there was Lady Gaga, there was Goldfrapp

[Ivyheart30]

I adore this band!!!! Probably my favorite female vocalist of today.

[chodaboy51500]

Fuck. That guy is happy!

[DangoAki]

I really love the video for this, and I am not so sure why.

[PanteraChick]

LMAO @ 3:10! That's an epic dog.

[nicky2coats]

this song has a really john lennon-y feel to it to me. i wonder if that was intentional

[nicky2coats]

this group is awesome. just discovered them!

[Qleej]

i like this we need more music on the airWAVE

[ItzSarinafyd]

thumbs up if you were sent by a fine frenzy! 

[xtangledromancex]

aww i love this song<33

i smiled the whole time i watched this cause the jumping guy is just so.. for lack of a better word, HAPPY!

[GareBare90]

Yay!! Over 1,000,000 views!!! I Love this song...even if the song is about cults!!

[iHomestarrunner69]

Having asthma isn't fun

[norbom24]

The music is great. This jumping idea is taken from and old movie I just can't think of the name. still love it!

[MrHanMi]

@norbom24 Bobby Van dancing (or hopping) to "Take Me to Broadway" in "Small Town Girl" (1953).

[kylebidlack]

feels very penny lane-ish.

[angelisoncrack]

Boyfriend must be have a FIT body underneath that suit.

[takopez28]

love the dog at the end :) hahaha

[ItsCoreyLynxxYall]

That cat at 0:06 is eating doo doo!

[bonheurese]

alison is girl on doorstep, girl at bus stop, girl cop, girl cutting trees, flower girl. did i miss her elsewhere?

[WoundedWolfgirl]

This was in a commercial for SciFi Channel! YES best channel EVER! Such a beautiful song! :D Makes me happy. :) That's probably the point.

[lakai958]

i wanna do that

[UrielKatz]

This seems like an intenese workout.

[cookiedough628]

love this song:)

follow us on twitter- sugarbaby123456 and jayla123456

[alleyluv]

[gunie65]

[JaeTracie]

Hello, I'm fairly new to youtube. Please view and share my channel for more HAPPINESS! :) *JaeTracie*

[kevinmichaelwilliams]

it's kinda bouncy, yah?

[bigpimpdaddy69]

this song is making me the happiest that i have ever been in my entire life

[Morrisseys7thFriend]

Wow...that is all one shot. How sore that guy must have had to be after all the takes they needed to do to get it right.

[I3randon27]

the "embedding disabled by request" has been a success! less than a million views over 2 years- great job EMI

[rinoxous]

That cat was eating bird poop :U

[chellywuzhere636]

this guy must have calf's of STEEL

[flyingcabbit]

"And why do you deserve the role?"

"I can't jump oddly for long amounts of time...like this!"

Jump, Jump, Jump.

"YOU'RE HIRED!"

[MaryJoneu]

@flyingcabbit LOL your comment made me smile more than the song :)

[flyingcabbit]

@MaryJoneu Awesome. :P

[hotmamakasia]

@flyingcabbit

lol

[ivyvine25]

hands down my favorite female voice of the 21st century...and Will Gregory is a musical genius

[jonez1017]

This video is a diredt ripoff of Peter Wolf's "Come As You Are." Its uncanny watch his vid from 1987 and see that this was almost carbon copied

[poobslag]

wow! catchy tune! goldfrapp's still got it. and what an uplifting video!

[RockerForeverMore911]

God Damn... I wish I could jump like that.Lol. I'd be he happiest person in the world XD

[darkmoonchaxx]

quite a work out? i think yes haha

[duh362000]

i like the song but peter wolf did the exact same video 23 years ago (come as you are) maybe that's him in the wheel chair at the end.

[djwood84]

@duh362000 You're completely right. I still think the jumping in this one is more impressive, but he does deserve the credit for the concept!

[TheNineteenKing]

I always feel happier after "Happiness" :)

[heyloves333]

That guy must have been dying after filming that.

[Autumnsfantasy]

Just watching him hop like that tires me out. D;

[DBCOOPER888]

@Autumnsfantasy Not only that, but he has to hop in rhythm.

[dementis93]

@Autumnsfantasy Seriously, my legs are hurting just looking at him. Yeesh, he's got to have some MANLY calves from that exercise.

[619georgelopez]

I think this song is really really really good. I LOVE IT

[steelyman08]

A kick in the teeth for the New-Agers. . .lol; but it's such a sweet kick in the teeth (-:

[KrfNYC2]

This song sucks,

[steelyman08]

@KrfNYC2

Why open your mouth & betray your own stupidity? We'd have never known if you hadn't. . . .

[KrfNYC2]

@steelyman08 I don't like this song.

[steelyman08]

@KrfNYC2

So keep it to yourself. . . who cares? If I went to every song I don't like on YT & wrote: "This song sucks", I'd have wasted most of my life & a lot of other people's time as well. Where's the gain? What's the point? Why not go to stuff you enjoy & comment on that in some constructive & useful way?

[KrfNYC2]

@steelyman08 "most of my life"...that's an exageration.And what's the point...I don't know...just to express myself. I'm not hurting anyone. I'm not wasting anyone's time, you don't have to read it or comment on it, you chose to. And you don't find it a waste of time, or else you wouldn't reply.

[steelyman08]

@KrfNYC2

That's expressing yourself? Okay. . . hurray for self-expression!!

I replied because YT if full of ignorant, self-absorbed ego-trippers who do nothing but litter the place with their pointless, empty, meaningless, and yet incredibly stinky droppings.

[KrfNYC2]

@steelyman08 I agree. There are a lot of comments on youtube that seem immature and really foolish, but I don't see how mine fits into that category. What's wrong with me stating my opinion on a song?

[steelyman08]

@KrfNYC2

Okay, other people are getting bored of this, so this is my last response. "This song sucks" doesn't truly qualify as an opinion now, does it? An opinion (of any worth) would be backed up with some reasoning or constructive criticism. I would never knock that sort of comment from anyone, but "This song sucks" basically says nothing to anyone: you're not sharing a thing of any value whatsoever.

If this response still doesn't click with you, then I'm sorry; just carry on as before.

[KrfNYC2]

@steelyman08 An opinion is one's belief or viewpoint. I believe that this is not a good song. "This song sucks" isn't a very deep opinion, but an opinion nonetheless. And even if it didn't qualify as an opinion...so what? Again, I'm not hurting anyone. And I don't think anyhone is "gettign bored fot his" because they don't have to read it. If they chose to read it than they aren't getting bored of it because they continue to CHOSE to read it.

[KrfNYC2]

[RedRadRoot]

@KrfNYC2 FYI - I'm afraid you're commenting on the wrong video. "This Song Sucks" is by Jace Clemson; this is "Happiness", by Goldfrapp.

[KrfNYC2]

@RedRadRoot I can't tell if you're joking.

[cmilette]

i <3 goldfrapp. they're awesome :D

[7193ds]

He must have been extremely tiered after this video. I know I would be dieing!!!

[CrayzMark]

damn- dudes 4SURE happy!

real cool song/vid though(:

[walkintovelvet]

Makes me happy to watch :)

[1rawgirl]

Fabulous!!!!

[blizzerdbiworrior]

Who is the jumping man?

[handsbefree]

OMGosh!... I am tired just after watching 1 minute of this!... But I like it!!

[NihilistImp]

I love you, Alison.

[lizzyvance]

I just discovered and I love them.

[racolatimlokmouk]

My knees I think would murder me and walk off XD

[xxxJackSparrow2xxx]

howd that guy do that for #:37 minuets?!

[Cappinslapaho3]

after all that jumping its no wonder he is in a wheelchair...

[cbethea48]

This song makes me think about the birth of my children and the cycle of life; you're born, have kids, then die. Having love in our lives makes life better.

[Shamborn]

wtf? They totally stole this from Peter Wolf:

/watch?v=8ImTo2uqSoE

[AgileTablet]

@Shamborn i think the homage was intentional

[Shamborn]

@AgileTablet

mmmm...maybe. But I don't think that Peter Wolf video is famous enough to claim homage.

[AgileTablet]

@Shamborn did some research, and guess what? both of us missed the original! the sequence is from a musical called "small town girl" with bobby van dancing (or hopping). cool! now if i could only find it on youtube...

bobbyvan [dot] net [slash] photos [slash] FilmPhotos [slash] SmallTownGirl [slash] SmTwnGirlJumping [dot] png

[Shamborn]

@AgileTablet interesting! Good detective work

[overlordmarty]

@AgileTablet try this: watch?v=5bKwsUnd2F0

:D

[AgileTablet]

@overlordmarty @Shamborn awesommmme!! thanks

[503]

just to let you guys know.....the song is not weird.....it has that 60's sound to it.......

[SageROSA42]

The timing in this video is ridiculous!

[MsLuvvy]

Smirk.

[daftrhetoric]

The atmospheric synth during the chorus really does it for me.

[openyourheartnow]

choose happiness.

[pokegrll101]

every body in the songs al like WTF!?

[pokegrll101]

he kinda looks gay

[pokegrll101]

like the song but weird music ~_~

[dreamwheasler]

right. a bit mocking. coolest mockery i've seen lately.

[sachthesage]

I like this song a little less once I realized it's about a cult.

"Donate all your money, we'll make it better.

Give us all your money, we'll make it better."

The sort of cult I used to be a part of, actually. >> I still like this song now, it's just... less happy.

[ChiefMcCloud]

Think about it this way, "Born in the USA" by Bruce Springsteen is widely used as a patriotic song, however, it's actually a protest song against America and the Vietnam war but people still celebrate it as "America's song"

[kamikazekrieg]

its mocking cults. do you not understand sarcasm??

[suhayla11]

haha I love it! so adorable. even though its all white ppl? haha there's a black guy at the end though, the one standing by himself away from the crowd. booo.

[pokegrll101]

@suhayla11 ya whats up with that

[wiresxandxwaves]

This video reminds me of the videos for It's Oh So Quiet by Bjork and Come Into My World by Kylie Minogue

[zolob315]

lols i love the end, the lady pushing the man in wheel chair is like "dammet!" lols

[TVwriter23]

@zolob315

the dog had me like what.lol I love this video

[paperfeathers]

cute guy

[ventureguitars]

total rip off of a peter wolf video.

[SayonaraPictures]

@ventureguitars That's true, but I think this is a better video (better lighting, better cinematography, etc.).
