If Your Happy and You Know It Visuals

"If You're Happy and Yous Know It" is a popular repetitive children'due south and drinking vocal. The song has been noted for its similarities to "Molodejnaya", a song appearing in the 1938 Soviet musical film Volga-Volga.^[ane]

History [edit]

The origin of the melody is non known, but numerous sources trace it back to Spain, Latin America, Latvia or the United States of America.

The song was published in various places through the decades following the late 1960s, including a volume of "constructive recreational activities" for children (1957),^[2] a volume of drama projects for disabled children (1967),^[3] and a nursing home manual (1966).^[4]

In 1971, Jonico Music filed for copyright on the vocal, crediting it to Joe Raposo.^[five]

During the early part of the 2000s, the music Recording Industry Association of America actively prosecuted individuals for downloading music using file-sharing services. Widespread media attention was paid to one 12-year-old, whose downloads included "If You're Happy and You Know It" from Kazaa.^{[6] [vii] [8] [nine]}

In 2007, the song was included as part of the Nihon no Uta Hyakusen, a list of the 100 nearly well-known folk songs in Japan. It is one of nine songs from foreign countries included on the list. Information technology was selected by the Bureau of Cultural Affairs and the National Congress of Parents and Teachers Associations of Japan.

In 2020, Granger Smith recorded a version that relied on alcohol drinking chosen "Country and Ya Know It".^[10]

Lyric variations [edit]

Like many children's songs, at that place are many versions of the lyrics. A pop version goes similar this:

If you're happy and you know it, handclapping your hands!
If you lot're happy and you lot know it, handclapping your hands!
If yous're happy and you know information technology, so your face will surely show information technology;
If you're happy and you know information technology, clap your easily!

This verse is usually followed by three more, iv more, etc. which follow the same pattern but say: "If you're happy and yous know it, stomp/stamp your feet!", "If you're happy and you lot know it, shout/say 'hooray'!" or "shout/say 'amen'!", "If y'all're happy and yous know it, practise all three!" and "If you lot're happy and you know information technology, do all four!". Other versions of the song tend to say "so your face will surely show it" in place of "and you lot really want to show it"; the class "then yous really ought to prove it" has also been used. Many variations on the substance of the get-go three verses exist, including:^[11]

"... shout/say, 'Hooray'!"

"... slap your knees!"

"... slap your legs!"

"... turn around!"

"... snap your fingers!"

"... nod your head!"

"... tap your toe!"

"... honk your nose!"

"... pat your caput!"

"... shout/say, 'Nosotros are'!"

"... stomp/postage stamp your feet!"

"... shout/say, 'Ha, ha'!"

"... shout/say, 'Amen'!"

"... exercise all iii!"

"... do all 4!"
