If Your Happy and You Know You Clap Your Hands

"If You're Happy and You Know It" is a pop repetitive children's and drinking song. The song has been noted for its similarities to "Molodejnaya", a song appearing in the 1938 Soviet musical moving picture Volga-Volga.^[1]

History [edit]

The origin of the melody is not known, merely numerous sources trace it dorsum to Kingdom of spain, Latin America, Latvia or the United states of america.

The song was published in diverse places through the decades following the late 1960s, including a volume of "constructive recreational activities" for children (1957),^[2] a book of drama projects for disabled children (1967),^[three] and a nursing home transmission (1966).^[iv]

In 1971, Jonico Music filed for copyright on the song, crediting information technology to Joe Raposo.^[v]

During the early role of the 2000s, the music Recording Industry Association of America actively prosecuted individuals for downloading music using file-sharing services. Widespread media attention was paid to i 12-year-old, whose downloads included "If Y'all're Happy and You Know It" from Kazaa.^{[half dozen] [7] [viii] [9]}

In 2007, the song was included as part of the Nippon no Uta Hyakusen, a listing of the 100 most well-known folk songs in Japan. It is one of nine songs from foreign countries included on the list. Information technology was selected past the Agency of Cultural Affairs and the National Congress of Parents and Teachers Associations of Nippon.

In 2020, Granger Smith recorded a version that relied on alcohol drinking called "Country and Ya Know It".^[10]

Lyric variations [edit]

Similar many children's songs, there are many versions of the lyrics. A pop version goes similar this:

If y'all're happy and you lot know it, clap your hands!
If you're happy and you lot know it, clap your hands!
If you're happy and you know it, and so your face will surely bear witness it;
If you're happy and yous know it, clap your hands!

This verse is ordinarily followed by 3 more, four more, etc. which follow the same pattern just say: "If you lot're happy and yous know it, stomp/stamp your feet!", "If you're happy and you know it, shout/say 'hooray'!" or "shout/say 'amen'!", "If you lot're happy and you know information technology, do all three!" and "If you're happy and y'all know it, do all four!". Other versions of the song tend to say "and then your face up will surely evidence it" in place of "and you really desire to evidence it"; the form "then you actually ought to show it" has also been used. Many variations on the substance of the first three verses exist, including:^[11]

"... shout/say, 'Hooray'!"

"... slap your knees!"

"... slap your legs!"

"... turn around!"

"... snap your fingers!"

"... nod your head!"

"... tap your toe!"

"... honk your nose!"

"... pat your head!"

"... shout/say, 'Nosotros are'!"

"... stomp/stamp your feet!"

"... shout/say, 'Ha, ha'!"

"... shout/say, 'Amen'!"

"... do all three!"

"... practice all four!"
