[@mn9868]

My soul has been lit 🔥 up after listening to this piece.

[@mn9868]

Thank God for music 🎼 🎵 🎶

[@christophhaas1431]

Twisted, funky, breaky… love it.

[@bobsinger3377]

This must blow Pharrell's mind, in a wholly positive way :)

[@RayfieldA]

I love that everyone else went home around the 5:30 mark of this video while the voice box guy and keyboardist played till Midnight before realizing everyone had left. #Possesed By The Funk!

[@b.bailey8244]

THIS is what i've been looking for! I'm in the stratosphere!

[@firstessmom]

This is craaaazzzy! Listened to it over 20X already!

[@lexluthier8290]

Now there's a man who knows his Moog. And the bass player. WAAAAAAAH! Awesome job guys - love it!

[@CynthiaLuciene]

Funny that's what I noticed first off, the bass player and then she started singing - WOW

[@AlejandroLopez-dx2hh]

Know his moog? man u don't know Cory Henry

[@ApakukiNayacakalou]

Bass? Andrew Gouche .. google him, now you know. You're welcome and welcome to the family :-)

[@MUZIXITY]

goodness the best arrangement I've ever heard

[@constantinespanos488]

Vocoder+Keyboards at the end just effing kill it!!!!!

[@scrabtree5824]

love this arrangement! Love the singers, but the bass player grabbed my attention first, then the horns, drummer is spot on. This for musicians and I am a drummer, songwriter, and I truly love how the arrangement just takes the original and super-funks it up!! It is truly a nice listenable remake - but, the arrangement was the item here. I am sure the person who put this together (anyone help me with this?) is a musician, also! Great job guys and gals!! Kudo's!!! Oh almost forgot - that mini moog - LOL, love it!! He uses it just right.

[@GeriRosser]

Wondering if the arranger isn't Whittaker, the keys guy, since he's one of the few constants on another cut by the band. Amazing arranging!

[@maru3194]

Pure joy. Dominic's solo one of the best I have ever enjoyed!!

[@donguiddodilozzo1906]

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially the EWI and vocoder solos, great use of those !!! Great cords all over, very much specially arranged. Wow !!!

[@TomRivieremusic]

Killer solo with that vocal coder. The whole band is great and the singer.

[@dougrebertus1992]

I absolutely love this song. This is certainly a different take; very imaginative arrangement.

[@dudaordonez]

Fantastic version, groovy and very creative. In addition, you've got an outstanding team of musicians and singers, well done guys! Can you just keep recording more often, please? I've heard ALL of your songs here 1,000 times, so looking forward to hearing your next tracks!

[@SamBellGuitar]

Music is so amazing isn't it.

[@CynthiaLuciene]

More than amazing. English language has no words to fully describe what music means to (me)

[@TheMullela]

There are no words in any language, that's why there is music: It is one itself :)

[@trueviolinist]

WORD

[@brucehehl9941]

Music is so amazing, is it not?

[@markovcornelius]

Too amazing haha

[@mahabarata8372]

I already made my students sing it at school, but now....jesus! this is a supergroup. addiction's coming....! thanks to these masters!

[@brucehehl9941]

This is a happening arrangement! Tight group. Great kicks! Bass player is smoking hot! Drums kicking hot. Keyboards are on. Horns are killing it. Vocals good. Great job kids!🎼🎵🎹🎺😃😃♥️

[@sodanomusic]

[@MartinDauer]

[@lasallegabriel3909]

Killer man, excellent work!

[@canaladoracaoeresgate6964]

Thanks, beautiful bass, beautiful voices. Kisses from Brazil

[@gits8829]

Thank you thank you thank you. Amazing arrangement...amazing musicians! I love it. There is great stuff on youtube after all. I am a lifetime fan now.

[@markriese6245]

really awesome!

[@MrJdsenior]

What in the heck is that apparent real time voice sampling, or voice based synth thing he is holding at 4:35? Very cool, but I tried to look it up and can't find it anywhere. He never holds still long enough to read a name, or even get a good look at it. Can't blame him for that, but is wasn't helpful for what I was trying to do. :-) Great to hear a MOOG on a solo getting a bit of a workout!

[@hdfloyd]

Its just so easy and enjoyable for them!!!

[@MrLPMT]

This is very good. Spot on.....

[@davekyle6096]

Sweet mother! This one stuck. Keep 'em coming, Michael.

[@nino369]

[@richieswanmusic]

Awesome music and axes ! cheers

[@donaldedmunds9867]

Knew this song has jazz influence but what a progressive cover.Nice!!!!

[@darrenjac]

complex arrangement/harmony makes me want to listen to it several times to pick out the components, edgy too!

[@Dionydejesus]

I just had a full eargasm!!!

[@domineu7]

🗽wow, next level funk🏆

[@MrAskaric]

Andrew Gauche on bass! What a beast!

[@soundtreks]

Love bands like this who re imagine pop songs through rhythmic and harmonic changes.

[@BluesPiano100]

Rhythmic yes, but harmonic changes to this extent IMHO produces a full new song... plus I don't really like these particular ones, though they're obviously performed by quite skilled musicians

[@soundtreks]

I think a song as popular as HAPPY can stand up to some harmonic revision. We all know the original. Another band called Dirty Loops also does fantastic covers (almost jazz fusion) of '80s pop songs. Terrific stuff.

[@tobyryberg]

this is great!

[@KommaAchtKommaEins]

The craziest vocoding breakbeat session ever…

[@rutyniarz]

brillant!!!

[@thierrypoulain6896]

Que c'est beau, sans masques

[@choqirn8365]

Once this pandemic over (soon), i want to see this group perform in Java Jazz.

[@lasse2k]

Some advice out there on how to stop listen to this tune? It's not an overstatement to say that I've heard it at least one hundred times. Same with Tim Akers and the Smoking Section's version of Shake It Off.

[@bobsinger3377]

Ha! Those are the two I'm going back and forth between :)

[@Dyshof]

I'm with you.

[@Jonesco75]

Try Tim Akers and the Smoking Section's version of Uptown Funk! ;)

[@DRGR25]

Nashville in the house!

[@MrJdsenior]

Not really what you asked, but ... If you like Chicago, give Leonid and Friends (A Ukrainian group that didn't even speak English when some of the early pieces were done, but sing it virtually flawlessly, better diction than many English speaking singers, with a couple of exceptions). They have energy like those session groups you speak of (they may be one, don't know, but they are of that level). "Does Anybody Know What TIme it Is?" is a good place to start. Another one you might search that I was super impressed with is "dave weckl higher ground" for another awesome (I'm assuming) session group with two amazing drummers (Dave played for Chick Corea's Electric Band and many others), and a very cool arrangement. Hope you enjoy them, sorry for adding to your "problem". ;-)

[@TheDistractionsBand]

Love this cover, Very clever ... Can't get enough :)

[@michaelwhittaker2908]

[@kultgaragehamburg]

You guys made me "Happy" Love and Peace from germany R.K.

[@ShermanBaileyjerichoexpress]

Love it !

[@nathanparmigiani7128]

wow why doesn't this have a million hits its Rad as shit so much groove yoy guys are great players

[@scrabtree5824]

This is your answer: Music like this? It's WAYYYYY over the heads of most people, who need more simplicity and they don't know 'what' to listen FOR! So, they just feel left out, and would rather listen to the original version. This, as I mentioned above, is for us musicians, or those who DO understand what goes into making an awesome version of this and the killer players it requires!! You make a valid point, it's for us who KNOW what goes into this. cheers bud.

[@TheNewVocal]

Good evening from Singapore! Wish you'd have a amazing week =)

[@agung41149]

Love it in 1:13 - 1:15
