sdmike Posted April 15, 2014 #26 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Some days these boards make it clear I live under a rock. I have no idea what this song sounds like. I think I'm going to leave it that way. Excellent choice. I only know it because I have a 13 year old daughter that likes pop music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashley@cruisecritic Posted April 15, 2014 #29 Share Posted April 15, 2014 That Pharrell song "Happy" is starting to have the opposite affect on me. I'm curious as to whether recent sailings have this song on a continual loop. :eek: Yesterday, I had 3 quick errands, and each store I went into had that song on. Its driving me crazy. We sailed a million years ago for our Honeymoon and the Macarena just came out. Goodness - it was EVERYWHERE. I feel that this will happen with Happy. :( Yep, it's becoming as common as Margaritaville, the Cupid Shuffle and Hot, Hot, Hot. I just got off of a 15-nighter with a different cruise line, and they played it. Over and over. Every. Day. It did make me want to dance at first, but by the end of the second week, I never wanted to hear it again. And, of course, since I've returned home I've been hearing it on every radio station I turn to. :-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teris50 Posted April 15, 2014 #30 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I know what you are saying, BUT, I lost my hearing 14 yrs ago, and would LOVE to be able to hear any of those songs...so BE Happy that you can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare blackwing Posted April 15, 2014 #31 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I liked the song before my cruise, heard it during the cruise, and now when I hear it, it reminds me of my cruise, so... it makes me HAPPY. I like the video that Norwegian put together that they filmed on Getaway some time in February or early March. I see Cruise Director Sinan in one clip, and I think that's Assistant Cruise Director "Jersey Boy" Joel dancing with the lady in the blue dress on the Waterfront. I was trying to figure out if the blonde lady in the Vibe Beach Club (?) near some little pool and waterfall is a guest or crew. Also, does anyone recognize the lady dancing with Jersey Boy? And who is the guy in the green shirt that starts off the video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare blackwing Posted April 15, 2014 #34 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Really...you haven't heard it played in every store you've gone into lately and all over the TV too.Or at the Oscars? It's Pharrell's song from the movie "Despicable Me 2", and when he did the live performance, he got off the stage and danced along the front row and some stars chose to spontaneously join in. Lupita N'yongo looked ethereal when she got up and danced, I was embarrassed for Meryl Streep when she shook her breasts at him, and Amy Adams stood and sexed it up. After he got back up on stage, Jamie Foxx must have felt left out because he and his daughter got up there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week on the Getaway we heard it many times! Sail away party, returning to the boat in Nassau, on the cruise channel, farewell show, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hattack Posted April 16, 2014 #39 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Happy is an international cultural mega hit and I think it has a different impact if you hear it on the lido deck with 500 cruisers singing and dancing while you are enjoying your DOTD, as oppose to driving to work by yourself on a Monday morning commute sitting in traffic I actually feel sorry for the artist because he will never release another song that will top Happy Like all things, be patient, Happy will play out and be replaced by another song that you will learn to hate thru repitition...be happy it's not Rap music :rolleyes: Also, even if you can't dance...everyone can move in their own little pattern with Happy....I am sure each CD will gladly sell you a CD of your cruise week, with Happy on it showing both guests and crew dancing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mister Posted April 16, 2014 #40 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Some days these boards make it clear I live under a rock. I have no idea what this song sounds like. I think I'm going to leave it that way. In moderation it's actually a REALLY good song, just as "Don't Worry Be Happy" was back in the 80s. But like with other songs, too much is a bad thing. I mean, I'd probably be a bigger fan of the Eagles if radio hadn't played "Hotel California" ad nauseam throughout my childhood. Masterpiece or not, I've had way more than my fill. (Same with Zep and "Stairway"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mister Posted April 16, 2014 #41 Share Posted April 16, 2014 is a much better song for a cruise. Well, a family cruise, anyway. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's Julie Valeriote, she was the Cruise Director until Sinan came onboard in the beginning of April. I don't remember seeing Sinan, will have to look again.

DKNYC Posted April 17, 2014 #45 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Havn't seen Dispicable Me 2 yet. lol It's a cute little movie. Saw it on the plane on the way to a cruise.

mojomorris Posted April 17, 2014 #46 Share Posted April 17, 2014 After reading the previous posts, I'm going on You Tube and listen to "Southern Cross" by Crosby,Stills & Nash. Great nautical/sailing tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quercus alba Posted April 17, 2014 #47 Share Posted April 17, 2014 The staging of this performance at the Oscars was really excellent--the energy of the kids on stage was incredible. http://youtu.be/GTvbD2MsvYc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatball_nyc Posted April 17, 2014 #48 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Like it cuz it reminds me of the video Lee Hoffman made on Getaway, with all the happy crew:) Robin Norwegian Breakaway July 2014 Carnival Miracle 2010 Carnival Legend 2006 Every Day at Sea is a Great Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterbabies7415 Posted April 18, 2014 #49 Share Posted April 18, 2014 We just got off the Epic last week and we were so surprised (and disappointed) we didn't hear Happy at all. I'm wondering if we will hear it on the Getaway since the YouTube video was filmed on her.....guess I'll find out in 6 months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyB Posted April 18, 2014 #50 Share Posted April 18, 2014 "Happy" inspired the front of our cruise shirts. LOL The women in our group are afraid they're going to have issues with the suns on the front if you know what I mean. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
