This is a forum to express your thoughts about the classic Carpenters song "Happy".

This song is one of my top 10 favorite songs by the Carpenters. It has such an uplifting feeling about it. The song brings joy to me. I always felt it should have been released as a single.

Of course it was released as a single in 1975.
It was the flip side of Only Yesterday.In those days,I remember the song was hard for me to catch the rhythm, but later, I understood it and liked it.

Maybe what I should say is; I always felt this song should have been an A-side single release. It's such a good catchy song.

"Happy" for the longest time was my favorite song from Horizon. It's one of those great feel good songs. When I want to feel upbeat and happy I listen to "Happy", "Top Of The World", "Sing", "Love Is Surrender", "Only Yesterday", "Jambalaya" and "Sailing On The Tide".

*note to RickHenry: I really like the picture of the ad for The Carpenters First Television Special that you posted on the HOME page on THE CARPENTERS ONLINE.

Happy was released in the Philippines as a A side of a single with Eventide as B side, back in 1975. It was a hit here, everybody loved the ending part with that "instrument" reaching high note. It was really great! and Yes catchy too!!!!!!!!!. Richard Carpenter might be visiting Manila very soon!!!!! Im keeping my fingers crossed! What happened to his Christmas Album?

I believe Richard's Christmas album is scheduled for Christmas 2003. Rumor has it he's working on a pop album with guest vocalists also.

This song was used in Brazil, late 1975, in a TV Commercial to " O Globo" Newspapper. This Champaign was to introduce the " Clubinhos ", a kind of boys to delievery newspapper to the your home... They did use teh last 30" of the song in this commercial...
Only curiosity !! The same " O Globo" Newspapper did use the song " Flat Baroque " in other TV commercial ( Late 1974 ) to comemorate its 50 Years.... It�s very special for all Brazilian Carpenters fans...and certainly all around the world too...

Here in Dominican Republic too, I remember in the 80's a TV commercial for a mark of japanese car using the last 30 seconds of the song.
