Does anyone know if "Happy" was the only collaboration that was written and/or recorded with Pharrell?
"Happy" just sounds awesome. Really would've been cool to hear "Happy" in Galoshes go for something more in the vein of this song. It's funky, rockin', has a great hook, a killer vocal, self-confident/fun lyrics and that Artsy-Cool vibe that only Scott Weiland could go for, in his prime.
2006: Pharrell was supposed to "collaborate" with Velvet Revolver for 'Libertad'. Supposedly he wrote it with Scott (not sure who wrote what, but the lyrics seemed to be more Scott at the time). That whole thing with VR fell through.
2006: con't: Scott performed 'Happy' live on September 8th 2006, then a month later Doug Grean posted a description of their video shoot for 'Happy'. 'Happy' was supposed to be the lead single off of 'Happy In Galoshes'. Again... this fell through.
2008: Pharrell as a part of N.E.R.D. released the album 'Seeing Sounds' with the song 'Happy'... the same year as Scott's 'Happy in Galoshes'
(which is where the problem arose). 2014: Pharrell reworked 'Happy' for the Despicable Me soundtrack, and to seemingly annoy the shit out of people everywhere.
2015: Finally on February 5th 2015
Lazy Divey became my hero and shared 'Happy' on here.
