Pharrell’s ‘Happy’ gets a family band cover, and it sounds almost better than the original song. The Martin Family Circus, also known as Rockland Road, are talented professionals who really know how to keep a beat. Watch the video to hear the fun performance.

A young girl, one of the youngest Martins in the six-member band, takes the mic as she leads her family in song in a room full of people. As she sings, her family harmonizes at different intervals. Her brother and dad play acoustic guitars, and her mom offers some well-timed claps to the lively beat. 

It’s such a fun song to see a family sing together; the whole family does an astounding job. They are very practiced and know how to use each of their skills to sound great together. They couldn’t have picked a more lively or better-suited song for them. Some of the lyrics of Pharrell Williams’ “Happy” are:

Sunshine she's here, you can take a break
I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don't care baby by the way
Because I'm happy (happy)

If you’ve ever seen this song covered, you’ll know that it takes a lot of skill. This may easily be the best cover of this song that you’ll ever see. Everyone, including the young children in the group, knows their parts down to a T. Each of their talents comes together to make a truly impressive piece of music, and they seem to enjoy performing together. When they finished their song, many people whooped and hollered, with lots of clapping. 

The song they chose is an excellent reminder that happiness is a choice. Sometimes it doesn’t matter if other people or things try to burst your bubble—you can choose to stay afloat and not let anything get you down. If you’ve got that happy feeling, stick with it.
