SPEEDOMETER: Happy (2014) + DJ Snatch ‘Pharrell vocal’ edit

Speedometer engage in the time-honoured practice of doing a genre cover of a pop standard here. In this case they take hipster-prince Pharrell’s happy-clappy stomp – er – Happy and render it as a soul jazz instro pitched somewhere between S.O.U.L.’s Burning Spear and Smash Mouth’s Walking On The Sun. Which as it turns out isn’t that bad a place. Hmm – an instro though – if only somebody combined it with, say, Pharrell’s vocal, how would that sound? As luck would have it, DJ Snatch has already been there, done that, and bought the t-shirt. Cop his free download edit below vid…
