Im seeing a lot of hate, but these are both good songs.

Happy:

  • upbeat and celebratory
  • fun to dance to
  • a nice contrast to pomp and circumstance

Africa:

  • cool instruments
  • fun to sing along to
  • a classic rock song from the 80s

    WILLIAMS: Well, after nine times of, you know, nine nos, like, nope, doesn't work, doesn't work, doesn't work, doesn't work, doesn't work, doesn't work, doesn't work, then I had to kind ask myself a rhetorical question. How do you write a song about someone that's so happy that nothing can bring them down? I'm paraphrasing. And the song ended up being the sarcastic answer to that.
