Open Happiness Gives Us A Coke, A Green Screen, And A Smile

happinessThe video for “Open Happiness,” the Coca-Cola-sponsored collaboration between Cee-Lo, Janelle Monae, Fall Out Boy lead singer Patrick Stump, Panic! At The Disco frontman Brendon Urie, and Gym Class Heroes’ Travis McCoy, debuted this morning, and it presents us with a fantastical world in which Urie is reporting the news, Stump is piloting a fishy helicopter, and Monae is teaching the kids of the world how to be more like her (a fine development, if you ask me). There’s also a sly shout-out to Teletubbies, whose super-saturated landscape is very reminiscent of all the colorful joy ping-ponging around the screen here. Clip after the jump.

  1. I’m not super into aspects of the song itself but the video is too adorable to be denied, from my family-friendly-loving POV.

    And I LOVE Janelle Monae.

  2. This song’s delightful. I approve.

  3. The song has really grown on me, I admit. And Patrick Stump does make an adorable pilot. I just wonder why it took so long to get the video out- I’m guessing finishing up the FX shots, but it seems like this thing was being promoted for a while.

  4. I don’t give a damn about the advertising (I drink whatever is handy at the time), but damn this song is chill as hell. I am a sucker for a whistled refrain.
