It might seem crazy what I'm about to say, but
Pharrell Williams‘ song
Happy definitely sounds great! The song features on the soundtrack of the upcoming
Despicable Me 2, and as you're about to hear (and see) – our cute little yellow friends have never been happier! Head inside to find the video &
clap along if you know what happiness is to you…
Williams and
Heitor Pereira composed the original music for the film which revolves around Gru and his friends (read: minions, Lucy, Dr. Nefario and his adopted daughters) who must save the world from a brand new villain called Eduardo aka El Macho.
