I'd get the kids to go to the gym and play music like that to get them dancing!

Here's another one that's fun to dance to ( though some would say the lyrics are a little 'mature' for kids, at school anyway )

I THINK it's 24hoursofhappy.com, but if not you can google it. When you click in it starts at whatever time you're at and runs the song over and over for 24 hours (you can jump back and forth if you like). It shows all kinds of people singing and dancing to it. I've never gone the 24 hour route but it is really pretty spectacular, and of course gets stuck in my head, so THANKS A PANTLOAD.

I am over at my daughters house...kids don't have school today, so I did not get my day started with my usual "old lady get your heart pumping" routine, so this post got me going. I will have to add this song to my line up.
I noticed the grandkids (boys ages 6 and 4) were enjoying the beat as well.
Thanks for the happy!

Glad you enjoyed it. We need more things that just make us Happy without costing an arm and a leg. Simple as a good song.

I enjoyed the interview with one young Tunisian guy whose video is on YouTube. Several Tunisian city's young residents also uploaded their videos.

I am really glad you enjoyed the video. I did not know they were dancing in Tunisia. This is the feel good video of the year. It does bring a good feeling watching and hearing this video. Mr. Pharrell Williams has scored big. Tell them is Tunisia I said keep dancing and singing. And letting us know how things are going around the World. To our Tunisia friends we love you and find a way to stay "HAPPY"

The day I posted I was feeling Blue as the sky. But to watch the video and watch my grand babies dance made me laugh. And I wasn't feeling so bad. It may not give you an instant feeling of "HAPPY" but it sure takes the edge off of unhappy. Glad you enjoyed. funny how the tune stays with you all day !!!!!
