nice and very dynamic song. My grade 2 students liked it a lot. but I think it is very fast for second language learners. Do you have a slower version? Thanks a lot in advance.
By Alex from France Grenoble on 20 January 2009
My baby loves this song and the video she dances when she sees the children and she's only 13 months old! Thank you!
By Love from Winnipeg, Canada on 12 February 2009
! Here's my silly version that all the kids found hillarious.! If you think your daddy's ugly clap your hands.! If you think your daddy's ugly clap your hands.! If he's ugly and you know it.! And you really want to show it.! If you think your daddy's ugly clap your hands.! The babies didn't know what "ugly" meant, they recognized only "clap your hands" which what made it so funny. Plus, I was getting back at daddy. !

comment to Love (in Winnipeg, Canada on 12February 2009). What are you teaching the children? What are the values and morals to your version of the song? Way to teach hatred!

Before my son was old enough to say the "hooray" I would have him do if your happy and you know it blink your eyes...wiggle your fingers...touch your nose. He loved it, and it helped teach body parts.

By John from Thailand on 16 October 2011
Someone's not being very nice,"half brain?" The political status of Taiwan is disputed because it is claimed by the People's Republic of China, which was established in 1949 by the communists on mainland China and considers itself the successor state to the ROC.[10] In fact, since PRC's establishment, it never controlled any of the territories the ROC government currently governs. Japan had originally acquired Taiwan from the Qing Empire in 1895 under Article 2 of the Treaty of Shimonoseki. At the end of World War II, Japan renounced all claims to sovereignty over its former colonial possessions, including Taiwan and Penghu (Pescadores),[11] but did not specify to whom Taiwan and Penghu should be assigned. This fact and subsequent handling of Taiwan's sovereignty by the Allies of World War II led to the complex and unresolved issues of the legal and political status of Taiwan. -Wikipedia

If You're Happy and u know it is a very old song about empathy (that's understanding feelings and emotions). U can make up ur own verses about feelings and emotions (and make up actions for each one like if ur loving and u know it hug someone and if ur normal and u know it make a straight face) too.
