I like the fact they changed it into their own style rather than just doing something close to the original. Also the sinister sound they have is a good contrast to the uplifting lyrics.
That's not really fair to Pharel (sp?). I don't like most of his songs, but he's a talented guy for sure, and writes most of his stuff by himself or with his partner from The Neptunes.
Lmao hardly fair considering Pharrell is notoriously known for writing and producing his own records aswell as producing and being a co-writer on many big hits from the past decade
in fact it was just one and that what blurred lines. Pharell is a creative genious. I love Royal Blood and their version of "Happy", but there is no need to talk shit about other artists
This is such a good cover. I couldn't stand the original This is why royal blood is such a good band that have emerged, being able to produce something like this from let's be honest here, an absolutely horrific song.
rockboy360 Well there is stuff that is more rock & roll around than Royal Blood, that said they are a bad-ass band and much better than a lot of other rock bands
Dear sound engineers at BBC, you're doing an awesome job. Sound is really cool, well balanced, clear and punchy....... apart from the huge master compressor destroying ALL the subtle work... Why ? :'(
Arthur Lauth hfhhs de semaine prochaine? Je pense a été fait, il faut faire une différence de te dire quelle est malade en fait je lui demande, en tout ou de quoi faire avec mes amis et la date limite d'inscription. - le fun :)
@@AnotherWorldYT he thashes the absolute shit out of his drum kit. he's the reason i started drumming myself a few years back. I absolutely adore the guy.
The riffs were excellent. The sound is awesome. And there's only two members playing as a whole band. We should have more rockin music in the industry.
I would LOVE to see them do this live! So many covers get done once and then forgotten about - this shouldn't be one of them! Epic version, infintely better than the original.
I have never heard of this band before, but I am glad that they took one of my favourite songs and made it their own. Sounds nothing like Pharell's version and there's nothing wrong with that! Great job Royal Blood!
Sensational improvement on the original! It’s so difficult to actually improve someone else’s song, but that’s exactly what Royal Blood have done! Made me truly happy listening to this!!!

The juxtaposition is really good!!
+Toma Hawk (HeavyCake) That's how you cover a song, YEAH!!!!!
Sinister, good word to describe it
This is Royal Blood's song now. There's never been any Pharell, he's just a myth.
Same. I can't believe Pharrell would steal Mike and Ben's song without credit.
Love both.
No.
Pharrell? Who’s Pharrell? Only Royal Blood here
jesse maner mmmmmmm idk about all that. I love this cover don’t get me wrong but you should relax with all that lolol
This is a real way to do a cover!! don't copy the original, instead twist it into something new.
covering exactly like the original is also fine, lol. But what they did was great.
Similar to how Slaves covered shutdown by skepta
I would really love to see them cover seven nation army.
I rate dis
OfficialMuffin If I listened to that I would get a boner
OfficialMuffin If I listened to that I would get a boner
Fuck yeah
+Stuuu art and pharrell already exists too but they still did a cover
it probably took about 15-20 people to write and produce the original version of this song yet these 2 dudes make it sound a hundred times better
That's not really fair to Pharel (sp?). I don't like most of his songs, but he's a talented guy for sure, and writes most of his stuff by himself or with his partner from The Neptunes.
ThePlapMan SOOOO True
Lmao hardly fair considering Pharrell is notoriously known for writing and producing his own records aswell as producing and being a co-writer on many big hits from the past decade
Dylan Collett He is also known for stealing mostly all of His hits
in fact it was just one and that what blurred lines. Pharell is a creative genious. I love Royal Blood and their version of "Happy", but there is no need to talk shit about other artists
This is not a cover! This is a song takeover lol!
CHIMICHANGAS yes your right
Wth?! 48 upvote?
50
This is what every cover should be like. They took the idea, made it their way. :D
That sounds like a good title for a song tbh
They sound like muse. The "clap along if you feel" part reminds me of supermassive blackhole. Any other muse fans here? :D
Agreed, but I like them both :)
yeah me too. And ed sheeran. :D
muser here! royal blood genuinely have a lot of potential to bring back music like old muse and that makes me so happy
xD
The distorted bass is a sign from the gods.
Hey it's the White Queens of the Muse-Age Stripes from Above 1979
TOO GOOD also known as Royal fuckin Blood!
TOO GOOD .
First band to make me pay for an album in years
Govanmauler this Comment... yeeez stupid human being!
Dude for real
@@danielschafer4199 not you daniel
This song is for people who likes sad stuff but wants to be happy.
ei: me
Yogesh Kumar people like me?
cover > original
Wrong. Cover>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Original.
i firmly believed that i would always hate this song with a passion but royal blood just proved me wrong and i couldn't be happier
Fucking better than the original. WAAAYY BETTER!
+ThGameSystem10 fender starcaster
Damn they nailed it
I'm getting a serious Queens of the Stone Age feel from this. It sounds amazing.
I'm feeling the same thing with a twist of muse in there
omg no ur right
If you mixed Muse with Queens of the Stone Age, the exact result would be Royal Blood
A joint tour of those three?!! FUCKIN CHRIST i'd die happy!!
***** I'd die from fucking excitement only caused by announcing such an event :o
and death from above 1979
"Royal Muse Of The Stone Age" :')
elMayonesca I was literally about to comment "more like QOTSA for me" XD Especially the vocals at the end, sounds a little 'Hangin' Tree'-ish to me :)
This needs to be a single ASAP. This how covers should be done, in there own original way.
They should put this on an album.
Snow Ultran I agree it's a pop song turned good
They should do an album of this
'How Did We Get So Dark' roughly 26 minutes in :)
I liked the original but royal blood just made it ten times better
Royal Blood could release a whole album of nothing but covers and I'd still buy it; everything these guys touch becomes gold.
This is such a good cover.
I couldn't stand the original
This is why royal blood is such a good band that have emerged, being able to produce something like this from let's be honest here, an absolutely horrific song.
Couldn't put it better myself
***** Except for anything but the original
rockboy360 You've obviously not heard much music, especially rock.
TheOliverthecat I'm a radio host/DJ and I'm a musician/songwriter with 3 bands, I know my shit. Not everybody has to have ur taste.
rockboy360 Well there is stuff that is more rock & roll around than Royal Blood, that said they are a bad-ass band and much better than a lot of other rock bands

Arthur Lauth I think they didn't expect Ben to hit as hard as he is known to hit :)

Going straight to radio broadcast. They should have remixed it after though
@@bilzander you means as loud as any good drummer hits? yeah, sureeeee
@@AnotherWorldYT he thashes the absolute shit out of his drum kit. he's the reason i started drumming myself a few years back. I absolutely adore the guy.
Love Royal Blood and love this cover! It's so different and unique
How have I only just found this I am 6 years late 🤟🏻😭😅
But better late than never
They made the song theirs almost. This is what I would want to hear and I would want everyone to hear!
jesus that bass sound is so dope.
I'm happy because Royal Blood is so bloody amazing!!! God save the queen...
Love this band so much
I gotta feeling this version is gonna become way more popular than the original. Royal Blood fuck yeah!!
I dont think it will, but I hope it will, its way better than the original
I hope it doesn't. Popularity changes a band.
I'm from 2018, and here comes the twist: you're wrong :-/
The riffs were excellent. The sound is awesome. And there's only two members playing as a whole band. We should have more rockin music in the industry.
simply glorious
why do i love royal blood? because they are simply AMAZING.
This is unbelievably good. I love it. I don't even understand how only two guys make such a huge sound, but I like it a lot
What a twist! Amazing cover, I love Royal Blood!
Wow.
Never thought I'd enjoy listening to Happy.
Impressed.
Truly amazing, best one of the best live lounges ever. Future legends in the making
I love this band so much.
Unbelievable, love them
What the live lounge is about. Perfect.
these are guys are epic whatever they do. love em
This is why Royal Blood is my absolute favorite band, also maybe the best band to come out in the last decade
I love this cover omg
Everything a cover should be. You either do it exact, or you make it your own. This is perfect
OMG, I love Royal Blood, O was so excited when I watch this
Wow, they made something cool and new out of this bearable yet overplayed song. What a band, you gotta love them
wow..mindBLOWNNNN ! royal blood is too damn good ...damnnnn
Incredible!
Such an amazing cover....wow!
FRIGGIN AWESOME!!!!!
It’s so different. So distilled down just a bass guitar and drums. I love it.
love you guys!
So awesome that pharrel Williams recorded his own version of happy by royal blood
I LOVE THIS
just awesome !!!
I am in love with the bass guitar and with thw cover, I never knew Pharrell could sound so badass.
This is so perfect
Absolutely brilliant.
maaaaaan, they're so f great!
Impressive they made Happy listenable to me again.
I saw these guys at The Rock in Tucson, AZ last month and they were amazing! Only being the 2 of them, they really have a full sound
me encanta!! espectacular
This is pure fucking gold.
Wow they're so good! they actually made happy bearable for me to listen to!
Love. Great sound.
Royal Blood have to be the best two piece band I've ever heard, they have real talent and I hope they become more successful within the future
Love this ❤️
Really dig this! Love these guys! Major tune
The hell!? How does che make his bass sound like that!? It's like an overdrived guitar but still he plays only one string at a time
He's got loads of effects and I understand he plays through a bass amp & a guitar amp at the same time using an AB box
Lew Mobey that is really cool
Pietro Baldini I know right! I Imagine his rig costs a few quid though which is upsetting haha
He's using octave up effects and fifth up on the chorus.
He uses a dry, un-distorted amp for his "normal" bass sounds and a dirty amp and he runs an EHX POG through that one
you can like this or not but you can't deny that the way they changed the song and turned it into their style is really fucking cool
Omfg i love it
I would LOVE to see them do this live! So many covers get done once and then forgotten about - this shouldn't be one of them! Epic version, infintely better than the original.
This band is absolutely the best rock band I've ever heard of 💙
This is so phat, awesome sound
Love.love.love!!!
Amazing!
I never tought i could actually like this song. This is amazing
Love this version of happy
That was awesome
I have never heard of this band before, but I am glad that they took one of my favourite songs and made it their own. Sounds nothing like Pharell's version and there's nothing wrong with that! Great job Royal Blood!
killing it
I never get tired of Happy. I like their version too
How did we get so happy?
So sick!
This is soooo badass, nice work Royal Blood!
Sensational improvement on the original! It’s so difficult to actually improve someone else’s song, but that’s exactly what Royal Blood have done! Made me truly happy listening to this!!!
Why is this so goooood
This beast
Going to see them in March.
This is such a good cover!
AWESOME
Now THIS is a cover. Awesome.
Outrageously cool, as is expected from Royal Blood.
One word. Best.
Sublime cover omg man
Royal blood sont tout simplement magique😎
I love Royal Blood
LOVE this band. I want to see them live so bad x.x
Saw them live when they were doing a back up performance for the foo fighters, both Royal Blood and Foo Fighters Were outstanding
SirGamesAlot I really want to see the foo fighters live too ;-;

Azulblueone you should man :)
ALWAYS room for another version! All’s good 🤗
Especially when the original makes you want to stab yourself
@@RedDevil_Joe 🤣that’s a bit drastic! Lol, quite like the original to ,maybe because I’m Happy 😃

Need this on spotfiy😑👊🏻👊🏻
