Happy Song

“Happy Song” also known as “If You’re Happy and You Know It” is a popular repetitive children’s song from the United States. It first appeared in the Barney franchise in the Barney & The Backyard Gang episode, “The Backyard Show“. At around that time the Happy Song became a very popular musical piece. More specifically, the song is included in educational programs for children.

Not stopping there until later, scientists have proven that giving children this Happy Song makes them smarter than other kids. Because listening to the song, these children will acquire the body parts, the human actions through the variations from the beginning. These wonderful variations are created by parents, preschool teachers, and even other children and are handed down to this day. So the song is getting better and better.
