Watch Kenyan Edition of Pharell’s ‘Happy’

Pharell Williams’s song “Happy” has been highly successful, topping the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and charts in 19 other countries.

As late as last night, “Happy” still holds at No. 1 on Billboard’s singles chart for a fourth week, with 490,000 downloads and eight million streams on services like Spotify, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Further, it has sold one million copies in the United Kingdom, and has reached the summit on three separate occasions, both records in their own right.

The song has become pervasive, including in a performance at the Academy Awards last week, and its fever has hit closer home.

Two Kenyans, Capucine and Tom, decided to remake the song (the video part) and we must admit they did a pretty awesome job. The video was professionally shot and edited with a Kenyan touch. According to Capucine and Tom, the video was made as a wedding present.

However, the video seems to have appealed to more than just the two people it was intended for as it has gone viral on social media and is in fact among the top trending videos in Kenya.
