Transcription

Music video

The music video for this song was a brief mainstay on MTV in its early days.[citation needed] MTV initially accidentally said the song was from their Happy Birthday album.[citation needed]

The band members are shown holding different pastel pieces and playing them like they were their musical instruments, and singer Clare Grogan is shown singing the "I could be happy, I could be happy" part in scenes where those lyrics are on the screen with a dot weirdly moving around, but hitting each syllable in time. Near the end, the band members put their pieces down to show it draws a very colorful happy face, then the video ends with Grogan riding out the song with the band playing their real instruments.
