And here's the original video of Shiny Happy People with Stipe wearing his silly cap...
The Muppet Wikia describes the song as being about monsters being 'happy, then sad, then happy again'. I say it's kinda happy, kinda shiny... Who knew there was a wikipedia for Muppets!?
In the original Shiny Happy People, the female lead was sung by Kate Pierson, one of the singers from The B52s. In this version the Kate character is played by Stephanie Abruzzo who is a long term puppeteer for Sesame Street.
Any way, here's the lyrics to Furry Happy Monsters
Ha Ha Ha Ha
Furry happy monsters laughing (oh, that?s great!) (ha ha ha ha)
Monsters having fun,
Happy, happy
See them jump and run.
Happy, happy
laughing all the while
Cheerful cheerful
Flashing a big smile
That's a perfect sign
That they're feeling fine
Furry happy monsters feeling glad
Furry happy monsters feeling glad
Furry happy monsters laughing
Something has gone wrong, (what are we gonna do?)
Sighing, sighing.
Faces have turned long, ( I am so sad!)
Crying, crying.
Hear them sob and whine, (oh oh oh)
Tearful, tearful.
That's a real good sign,
That they're feeling glum.
Sad, sad times have come.
Furry sobbing monsters feeling sad.
Furry sobbing monsters feeling sad. (oh so it's sad)
Furry sobbing monsters crying.
Come on monsters, you don't have to cry, (we don't)
we can be happy! (all right!) (yeah!)
Furry happy monsters feeling glad.
Furry happy monsters feeling glad.
Furry happy monsters laughing.
Furry sobbing monsters feeling sad.
Furry sobbing monsters feeling sad.
Furry sobbing monsters crying.
Furry happy monsters feeling glad.
Furry happy monsters feeling glad.
Furry happy monsters laughing.
Monsters, Happy, Monsters
Monsters, Happy, Monsters
Monsters, Happy, Monsters
Monsters, Happy, Monsters
