If Your Angry and You Know It Say a Swear

"If You lot're Happy and You Know Information technology" is a popular repetitive children's and drinking song. The song has been noted for its similarities to "Molodejnaya", a vocal appearing in the 1938 Soviet musical film Volga-Volga.^[1]

History [edit]

The origin of the tune is not known, only numerous sources trace it dorsum to Spain, Latin America, Republic of latvia or the The states of America.

The song was published in various places through the decades following the tardily 1960s, including a book of "constructive recreational activities" for children (1957),^[2] a volume of drama projects for disabled children (1967),^[3] and a nursing home manual (1966).^[4]

In 1971, Jonico Music filed for copyright on the song, crediting it to Joe Raposo.^[5]

During the early on part of the 2000s, the music Recording Industry Association of America actively prosecuted individuals for downloading music using file-sharing services. Widespread media attention was paid to i 12-year-sometime, whose downloads included "If You lot're Happy and Y'all Know It" from Kazaa.^{[6] [vii] [eight] [9]}

In 2007, the song was included as part of the Nihon no Uta Hyakusen, a list of the 100 virtually well-known folk songs in Japan. Information technology is one of nine songs from strange countries included on the list. Information technology was selected by the Agency of Cultural Affairs and the National Congress of Parents and Teachers Associations of Japan.

In 2020, Granger Smith recorded a version that relied on alcohol drinking called "Country and Ya Know It".^[10]

Lyric variations [edit]

Like many children's songs, there are many versions of the lyrics. A popular version goes like this:

If yous're happy and you know information technology, clap your hands!
If you're happy and you lot know it, clap your easily!
If you're happy and you know information technology, then your face will surely show it;
If you're happy and y'all know it, clap your hands!

This verse is usually followed by three more, four more, etc. which follow the aforementioned pattern simply say: "If yous're happy and y'all know it, stomp/postage stamp your feet!", "If you're happy and you know it, shout/say 'hooray'!" or "shout/say 'amen'!", "If you're happy and you know it, do all iii!" and "If you're happy and you know information technology, do all four!". Other versions of the song tend to say "and then your face will surely prove information technology" in place of "and you really want to evidence it"; the grade "then you actually ought to show it" has also been used. Many variations on the substance of the first three verses exist, including:^[11]

"... shout/say, 'Hooray'!"

"... slap your knees!"

"... slap your legs!"

"... turn around!"

"... snap your fingers!"

"... nod your caput!"

"... tap your toe!"

"... honk your nose!"

"... pat your head!"

"... shout/say, 'Nosotros are'!"

"... stomp/stamp your feet!"

"... shout/say, 'Ha, ha'!"

"... shout/say, 'Amen'!"

"... do all three!"

"... do all four!"

Melody [edit]
