Happy in Campi Bisenzio in Italy


Pharrell Williams' Happy video clearly went viral, but just from casually scanning YouTube, I think the infectiously happy music has spawned a viral number of covers, too. It's online inspiration at its best. Here is just a sampling of those covers that I like, and what I like has to do with good dancing, quality filming, and deft editing.


Campi Bisenzio is a municipality in the Florence Province, of the Tuscany Region, in central Italy. It boasts the first internal combustion engine. The filmmaker must've used a drone to capture a birds eye view of happy Italians and with both a rising and a swooping camera. But what I like most is the synchronous lip-syncing of many dancers. Of course, too, the viral algorithm is to install sexy ladies in bikinis as thumbnails.
