Pharrell’s “Happy” In New Beats By Dre Ad: Watch
Pharrell finds yet another reason to dance in a new Beats by Dre commercial. He inspires an animated gaggle of Dr. Dre‘s Pill speakers to dance to “Happy,” as he had with the real-life Jimmy Kimmel, Jamie Foxx,Tyler, the Creator and more in the song’s music video. Pusha T also appears, snapping along as he strolls through a record store aisle.
First released in May 2013, “Happy” has taken on a new and strangely wonderful life since its May release as part of the Despicable Me 2 OST. While the song was initially overlooked for Pharrell’s stand-out cameos (Daft Punk‘s “Get Lucky,” Robin Thicke‘s “Blurred Lines” and 2 Chainz‘s “Feds Watching,” among others), “Happy” received newfound attention when it received the first-ever, 24-hour music video. It’s since earned an Oscar nomination, and it’s also to be included in Pharrell’s second solo effort, out this year.
