Download Happy From Despicable Me

"Happy" is a song written, produced, and performed by American musician Pharrell Williams, released as the only single from the soundtrack album for the film Despicable Me 2 (2013). The song was first released on November 21, 2013, alongside a long-form music video. The song was reissued on December 16, 2013, by Back Lot Music under exclusive license to Columbia Records, a division of Sony Music.[1] The song also served as the lead single from Williams's second studio album, Girl (2014).


Williams provided vocals for French duo Daft Punk's 2013 album Random Access Memories, on the songs "Lose Yourself to Dance" and "Get Lucky". After returning from the recording sessions in Paris, he attended a meeting with record label managers who said that the results were "spectacular" and that "Get Lucky" would be Daft Punk's next single. They also made Williams an offer to record his own album, to which he agreed quickly, "overwhelmed that someone wanted to know what's in my heart".[10]

The flaw was discovered when grandparent Bradley Merten ordered a Happy Meal for his granddaughter from a McDonald's in Florida. Merten says he was "shocked" to hear the Minion allegedly spouting profanity: "I can't believe it's coming out of a toy... [They should] check their toys before they hand them over."


Update, 07/11, 1:15 p.m.: McDonald's won't be removing the foul-mouthed, loin cloth-wearing Minion toy from Happy Meals. The fast food chain maintains to the Associated Press that sounds emitted from the character are nonsense words, adding that only "a very small number of customers" have complained to the company. The toys remain in distribution through the end of July.
