Our first new music since 2018 and we have an amazing music video for it too. Plus, we have a new partner - 8 Pound Gorilla Records.
The first single Happy off the forthcoming EP Happy To Be Here (8.27) is a product of being isolated for months during the pandemic. Happy is an ode to finding joy in the simple things in life: walking the dog on a lovely day, watching a movie with your family, drawing a picture, or simply listening to the birds sing. The single is especially important as a reminder that joy and happiness still can be ever-present despite our obstacles and extreme circumstances.
Happy - Best I’ve ever heard
(We’re) gonna put it in a song
Happy - If you’re feeling sad
Happy – We’re going to tell you that
You ought to sing along
Our smile is wider than the state of North Carolina
Our eyes are brighter than the summer sun
Our cheery disposition
We’re changing your condition
Let’s make it a tradition
And have some fun
Happy - Such a simple word
Happy - Best I’ve ever heard
(We’re) gonna put it in a song
Happy - If you’re feeling sad
Happy – We’re going to tell you that
You ought to sing along
Happy - hanging round the house
No reason to go out
I’ll watch a movie with you-you-you-you
Walking the dog outside
Down the street and by
Trees so tall under a sky so blue, blue, blue
Scribble on a notepad
I drew it and it’s not bad
Pick up a pencil and try try try
Listen to the birds sing
It’s my favorite thing
Angelic tunes fill the sky, sky, sky, sky
H is for HAPPY
A means we’re all right
Pretty please double-P
Y don’t you sing with me
H is for HAPPY
A means we’re all right
Pretty please double-P
Y don’t you sing with me
HAPPY!
And our new partner is 8 Pound Gorilla Records, the inevitable offspring of 800 Pound Gorilla Records, the world's largest Comedy Record Label and one that's recently moved into the kids' and family programming.

The
video plays around with the idea of puppets watching shows featuring
the Movers and the Movers watching shows about puppets until at once
they collide in an old school homage to the Brady Bunch. We even
enlisted Kevin Carlson (who played Warehouse Mouse on the TV show) to do
some puppeteering work. Peppered with a Scott Pilgrim-vibe, you have an
energetic visual treat to go with an infectious tune.
