She’s brilliant. She did that song with Iggy Pop - “Candy”, absolute gold. Lovely to look at but even better to hear. Definitely underrated - & when I listen to some of these so-called “artists”, auto tuned beyond belief, I just shake my head & think “Nah, not interested”.

She basically made the song and they knew it. Doesn't she look like she's very short, and her arms are usually covered by sleeves or gloves. Maybe she has a lot of tatoos.

It's funny because this video is almost 30 years old and it' still ironic. Anyone in America who is shiny and happy hasn't been paying attention.

Our egos find difficult to addapt to the ways of the universe but in the big picture of things everything has meaning. Im sorry for your loss I cannot even imagine how difficult it must be to lose a child, I hope your experience helps other people and dont forget what she would have wanted you to do, keep going, try to be as happy as you can and feel always the love, help others and let others help you cause we are one big family, the consciousness of your daughter cant ever die, the body is just our tool to navigate this world, we are all the same with different roles.

As far as I recall, they took the phrase "shiny happy people" from Chinese propaganda. It's clear to see the sarcasm in this song and I love it for that, but they nailed the earworm style of music too well and I find it annoying as hell now.

He would play this so often; it's like a melody that danced around the entirety of my happy young days. I'm 27, but god why did he have to go at only 63. He was so spiritual, so vibrant, a rare and unique soul and everyone would attest to that. I long for our reunion, dad. I miss you every single day, every single second. I miss you dearly.

[@loljustice31]

Christ almighty, shut up. As someone who went to high school in the '90s I'm so tired of people talking like there was supposedly some period of time where everything was "good" just because it isn't now. If you were a child in the '90s, then your life was better during that time not because it was the '90s but because you were a child; rest assured there's plenty of awful shit at any era, it didn't coincidentally get worse during your own coming of age.

[@l3oozehound]

Rainy Jane Wow, that escalated quickly. Why you getting so pissed at a time where music reminds me of a particular time? Hell yeah it reminds me of good times, and I loved them so why not look back now and then and smile?? It's like you getting married and getting told you can't, years later, look upon that as a bad, or good thing, depending if you're a pain in the ass and he, or she. divorces you and leaves you up shit-creek without a boat, never mind a paddle. Call me crazy but reminding yourself of a cool time period you lived through is better than sitting thinking about bad shit all the time, as opposed to the before mentioned. It's obviously when i was a kid and care-free, but other music also reminds me of when I was in my 20s and when my kid was born etc...is that so fucking bad to reminisce about occasionally? I don't fucking obsess about it so you getting your knickers in a fucked-up knot over something that brings a dude back a few memories for nothing, man....but it's your ride, it's your trip, think as you please but don't assume others should all feel the same.

[@百合フランチェスコ]

+Rainy Jane I was a child in '90. But this song is a tale of successful people. Thus "Shinig happy people". Was really a period of great big hill of hope. The economic of the world was growing. Only few unemployed workers was in west area. And the big wall of the comunism in Germany was broken down. And then for this reasons there was new hope, (not realistic), for a amazing future about a forever, (never ending), climb to the progress. Excuse my poor english. Sorry.
