Overall Meaning

The song "Happiness" from the Boys and Girls soundtrack is an optimistic, repetitive anthem that speaks volumes to the power of positive thinking. The song, performed by Merrymouth, does not have many lyrics. It essentially repeats the word "Happiness" followed by "It's a long way to happiness, a long way to go, but I'm gonna get there, boy, the only way I know." These lyrics metaphorically represent the journey towards happiness, which the singer acknowledges to be a long and arduous one. However, they are determined to reach their final destination, no matter how difficult it may be. The song symbolizes the idea that happiness is not an endpoint but rather an ongoing process that can be reached through hard work, perseverance, and a positive outlook on life.

Lyrics:

Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she's never had a backstreet guy
I bet her momma never told her why

I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white-bred world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am

And when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind

She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high-class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win

And when she's walking
She's looking so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mine

She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love
With an uptown girl
She's been living in her white-bred world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl

I love how this song explains pretty much the relationship of hughie and starlight.

@sushitraxh6736

damn i never knew Billy Joel would play a very huge part on the whole film. Just legend

@olimalecki4296

It's not a film but a series though I get your point.

@killerwal4387

@@olimalecki4296 TECHNICALLY, technically a film is just the layer on which the pictures for the, so called, "movie" were printed on... Now Shows, or "Series" werent the biggest of all trends back then, but if they were, there wouldn't be any difference between printing a show and printing a movie, so you could technically call either a film.

@GreaterGrievobeast55

If I had a nickle for every time this song was played in a TV adaptation of a comic written by Garth Ennis, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t that much, but it’s weird it happened twice.
