IAF Doctors Dance to Pharrell Williams’ Happy And Go ‘Viral’
A video of IAF military doctors and nursing staff tapping away to Pharrell Williams’ song “Happy” is going viral
Doctors and nursing staff of the Indian Air Force are dancing to Pharrell Williams’ Happy song and going ‘viral’. Yup, as ironic as it sounds!
The video begins by showing a lady Group Captain leading the dance party, followed by doctors, patients and air force officers in uniform dabbing, swinging and doing dance formations, perfectly choreographed to the American singer's viral hit.
It is said to be shot at the 12 Air Force Hospital, in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh.
For the Indian Air Force medical officers to take a break from their tough work, and ‘break’ into a song and dance is literally them being true to the lyrics of the song, "It might seem crazy, what I am about to say, sunshine she is here, you can take a break...."
Needless to say, the Internet too is feeling super happy ever since the Happy video feat IAF medical officers came out.
While celebrity anchors, Rocky and Mayur gave their seal of approval, Twitter user Rajesh Punia called the IAF folks pretty “chilled out”. Not bad!
Meanwhile author Navdeep Singh says watching the video will “make your day”. Well, it made ours too!
And Poonam Agarwal wants us all to clap along. Well, clapping inside our heads counts, right?
The video has given many feels to journalists Pranay Upadhyaya, Abhishek Bhalla and Ameet Datta too.
FYI, this isn’t the first such video of the armed services to break the Internet.
In 2013, a dance video paying an ode to Psy’s viral hit, Gangnam style too went viral. It was shot at the Defence Services Staff college in Wellington.
FYI, the ‘Happy’ song has been appropriated by thousands of creators on YouTube and other social media platforms, who have done their adaptations of the song while still staying true to its happy and quirky spirit. And so, in that sense it truly embodies the shareability culture of the Internet.
