To think If you're happy and you know it has become passive aggressive?

[Christmadtree]

Lighthearted.

When I was a kid, I'm sure the lyrics were:
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands
If you are happy and you know it, and you really want to show it, if you're happy and you know it clap your hands

2 separate baby classes recently swapped the last line for...
If you're happy and you know it, then your face should surely show it.

Aibu to think this is a bit passive aggressive now??

YABU - it's the new happy
YANBU - this explains the number of resting bitch faces these days

I have had a chronic resting bitch face since I was about 15 .. always used to get “cheer up love ,it’ll never happen”
Yanbu

Why change the words? Why?

It’s the American version.

@FizzyIce. Me too.
But let's be honest. Folks with big grinning faces are best avoided

@thistimelastweek very true , they’re usually homicidal maniacs

Eurgh no. I can be perfectly happy without a stupid big grin on my face. It's the baby equivalent of 'smile, love. It might never happen' (light hearted ).

@FizzyIce Or absolute prats. Either way, best avoided.

Ahem.

I hope no one is dissing me.

Its the second verse. Third verse is stomp your feet and eventually you do all the actions

I've heard 'then you really oughta show it' which has a similar tone. My instinct is always - why the fuck should I?

I've never heard anything other than and you really want to show it. Yanbu op.

Leeannb that line is the same in all verses. No idea why it’s changed and I don’t like it.

Yanbu. Who wants to be a grinning fool?

Apart from anything else’s it makes no sense. It’s asking you to clap (Or whatever in other verses) to show you are happy If your face already shows it, why bother?

It wasn't broken so they shouldn't try and fix it.

@FizzyIce or Justin Fletcher 😱

Little baby bum says 'your face should surely show it' maybe it's catching on from that.
