Yeah, I was initially really leaning that way. There are so many great reasons why it would make sense. The roof line, the fact that "Happy" was and still is a huge hit and probably the biggest hit on the album, the fact that it would make a great video, but the more I listen to "Happy," the more I feel like it wouldn't work. The word is sung pretty quickly in Pharrell's version and "Handy" is too clunky a word to fit into that spot comfortably. On the other hand, in "Fancy", the word is drawn out, almost into two different words. "I'm so fan-cy". "Handy" feels better in that spot and "Tacky" better in "Happy's" spot. It was an interesting idea, but I'm leaning heavily away from it at this point.CheeseSandwich wrote:I actually think that "Handy" song will be a parody of Happy. I mean think of it, the concept of it being a song about repairing fits too well. And how many people think that Fancy is considered top song material. Al usually puts hit songs at the top of his main albums, I mean why you think Whatever You Like didn't appear at the top of Alpocalypse?
So Handy will most likely be Happy and Tacky will be Fancy
It seemed strange though that such a huge hit would be relegated to the 11th track spot, but maybe that was to keep it away from "Word Crimes" since they are both Pharrell parodies.
