Lyrics:
Join our group and you will find
Harmony and peace of mind
Make you better
We're here to welcome you
We're all on a journey to
Finding the real inner you
Make you better (make you better)
(We're here to welcome you)
Time stops still when
You've lost love
Happiness
How'd you get to be
Happiness
How'd you get to find
Love, real love
Love, love, love
Floating in the magic world
Donate all your money we'll
Make it better (make it better)
(We're here to welcome you)
We can see you troubled soul
Give us all your money we'll
Make it better (make it better)
(We're here to welcome you)
Time stops still when
You've lost love
Happiness
How'd you get to be
Happiness
How'd you get to find
Love, real love
Love, love, love
We'll be swimming in the sea
Of wisdom and serenity
Make you better
Happiness
How'd you get to be
Happiness
How'd you get to find
Love, real love
Love, love, love

Thanks for (some of) the comments guys haha! I am the jumping man, this video was a lot of fun to shoot, and painful! It has 6 cuts and took 13 hours! Each cut was filmed about 10 times! And yes, the fake smile was mostly to hide my breathing and shin splints!! Glad the video brings happiness to people! Hope you all have a great NYE!! x

[@ViolinBern]

You're amazing, George! Did you see that Hugh Jackman attempted to do the same reenactment of the scene from Small Town Girl (1953) as the opening of the 2014 Tony Awards? It failed enormously by comparison!! :)

[@fozzy2oo2]

Thanks Bernadette!! No I didn't see it! I've seen the original scene in the Small Town Girl film with Bobby Van though! It's was great!

[@dominiceredia4585]

I also have seen the original scene from Funny Girl, I felt that you did as qreat as Bobby Van. I'm sure that it was painful but to do. I believe the reason that Hugh Jackmams' reenactment failed was because they were not very familiar with the movie. No matter you and Jack keep entertaining us, your fans:-)

[@fofitohi]

OMG! You act so happily weird in this video. I love you :3 haha

[@maohuerta]

No more RedBull for you young man :)

This is perhaps Goldfrapp's best tune and video. Such excellent work. It does make me happy to watch and listen. Too bad it got overlooked by fickle audiences.

Their loss.

[@maohuerta]

Aww the jumpin' dog at the end !

[@davidadams2395]

One of my favorite Goldfrapp albums, so it was really nice to hear it featured heavily in the series *Brave New World.*

[@AzzaTV]

This was my song for my dog Muffin... She died on Halloween (Oct 31st), aged 16. I had her since September 2004 when she was just 8 weeks old. She battled cancer for 20 months (after originally being given just 3 months to live)... She was my best friend, my family, the child I never had, and the therapy dog that helped me through severe depression when my partner of 12 years died suddenly in 2014. This song will always be ‘our song’. It’s now just been over a week since my little one died ... but through the tears and grief I only have to put this song on and it makes me remember the good times. The only song to snap me out of the sadness. For you Muffin... “Happiness”. 🐶🌈♥️🙏🏻

[@AJLW126]

im sorry man. i and all of us all have muffin in our hearts

I heard this song suddently on the radio today and it reminded me of 10 years ago, this video with the jumping man, the perfect voice and the etheral melody :) Nice memories!

[@johnnyzeisner4364]

A Masterpiece video, in one recording with so many sychronised acts, totally amazing!!!

[@iknowyoureright8564]

This is such a driving forward, empowering song. Beautiful. Happiness is a state of mind that is accessible if we want it enough, no matter the circumstances. Beautiful nostalgia!

[@JervisGermane]

I'm definitely going to look into some more Goldfrapp. The only two songs of theirs I've ever heard were because they were on TV shows I watched, but I like both of them. I suspect they've been undeservedly left off my radar all this time.

[@TammyRadbody]

Brave new world brought be back here. I forgot want this song ♥️

[@JuanTopoFortress]

this lyrics are a clever critic on cult like brainwashing. i love it.

[@Joiner113]

I think it's more meant to be a critique of consumerism and the act of buying products as a substitute for personality

[@rickdeckard1075]

strange, since the hopping fellow is essentially doing a "white rabbit"

[@jonh2179]

@@Joiner113 I think the last thing I read about this song, she was talking about LA and superficiality and self help groups only wanting money in order to “heal people” under the guise of consumerism.

Brave New World xD

[@jakemusictvs]

Wow, I can’t believe this song is 10 years old already. It seems like just yesterday. Both the music video and song have been one of my favourites since it was first released! I think it is extremely underrated as well (especially in Australia - where it did not even chart! 😔). It deserved to have been a bigger hit.

[@fruitcheese333]

That's a shame. I'm sure it had high rotation on Triple J at least.

[@duncanwcraig9668]

Seen her live twice in concert. In Australia. She’s amazing !

[@Romans8-9]

@@fruitcheese333 Was a pretty obscure track, I found it on a compilation CD. Never remember hearing it on Triple J.

[@antonystringfellow5152]

Couldn't agree more! Still, while the rest of the World can remain poorer for not appreciating it, at least some of us can continue to benefit Their loss.

[@iheartbarnabas]

I love all the little appearances Alison and Will make in the video. The best bit is at the end with them as the old couple.

[@stellacarrier8341]

Happiness by Goldfrapp is a first class and very one of a kind melody that epitomizes experiencing multiple facets of life in a feel good and fun way, an elevating music balm for a music listening soul.

[@aimansyazwan5355]

last time i watched this was when i was 12 and now im 18 and the feeling i get from the song remained the same😊 the only difference is that i understand more of the meaning of the lyrics

[@nataliasonia8491]

I never noticed how many times they've hidden the main singer in this until I rewatched it just now...hahaha.

[@dannythomson5239]

OMFG i knew of Goldfrapp but never really listened to them because i am more of a kasabian kings of leon pink floyd type but the last week i have been loving listening to Goldfrapp and completely fell in love with the music.

They are so underrated, i havnt seen this video in like 8 years and I still adore this and their music

[@isareinspach-troubat5573]

One of the bests video ever - sometimes one good idea is enough

[@jackanthony976]

ISAREINSPACH-TROUBAT: This video is not an original idea. This number is practically an exact replica of a number done for the film musical called "Small Town Girl" which was released in 1953 to the movie theatres. Dancer Bobby Van does the hopping in that 1953 movie in a number called "Take Me To Broadway." There are no new ideas left.

[@manawydanuk]

+shtuwang I know the Wiki page says it was done in one take with no cut scenes but you can clearly see 5 scenes where there is an obstruction ( such as the telephone box ) and the angle is different so it can't be one take.
