Preface


In an exclusive interview with Tian ZeYuan, I asked her, "How can you read the same article more than 400 times on the same day without getting bored? I will be easily fed up if I have to read the same thing twice or more." "Well, whenever I am about to get bored, I sing or hum a happy reading song. That really drives away all the boredom in reading." answered Tian.


What you're hearing now is a recording of the Happy Reading Song sung by Tian Zeyuan. Enjoy!

Happy Workign Song

Artist: Amy Adams
Movie: Enchanted

All right everyone, time to tidy things up

Come my little friends
As we all sing a happy little working song
Merry little voices clear and strong
Come and roll your sleeves up
So that we can pitch in
Cleaning crud up in the kitchen
As we sing along

And you’ll trill a cheery tune in the tub
As we scrub a stubborn mildew stain
Lug a hairball from the shower drain
To the gay refrain
Of a happy working song

We’ll keep singing without fail
Otherwise we’d spoil it
Hosing down the garbage pail
And scrubbing up the toilet
Ooh!

How we all enjoy letting loose with a little
La-da-da-dum-dum
While we’re emptying the vacu-um
It’s such fun to hum
A happy working song
Oo-ooh
A happy working song

Oh, how strange a place to be
Till Edward comes for me
My heart is sighing
Still, as long as I am here
I guess a new experience
Could be worth trying
Hey! Keep drying!

You could do a lot when you got
Such a happy little tune to hum
While you’re sponging up the soapy scum
We adore each filthy chore
That we determine
So friends even though you’re vermin
We’re a happy working song

Singing as we fetch the detergent box
Or the smelly shirts and the stinky socks
Sing along
If you cannot sing then hum along
As we’re finishing our happy working song!

Ah...wasn’t this fun?

Happy Working Song
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


"Happy Working Song" is a musical number from the 2007 film Enchanted, with music composed by Alan Menken and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. Performed by the film's lead actress, Amy Adams, the song pays an homage to such Disney songs as "Whistle While You Work" from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and songs from Cinderella, in particular, "The Work Song".[1] The sound recording was released on the soundtrack of Enchanted on November 20, 2007 in the United States.


The song was nominated for an award at the 80th Academy Awards in the Best Original Song category, in which two other songs from the film were also nominated.


Versions


In the film, "Happy Working Song" is performed by Amy Adams as Giselle. After seeing the untidiness and the dirtiness of Robert's apartment, Giselle decides to clean it with the help of animals from the neighborhood. As she cleans the apartment, she sings "Happy Working Song" whilst interacting with the animals she has called upon for help.


Adams performed the song at the 80th Academy Awards ceremony.[2] However, despite the number's heavy reliance on visuals, Adams performed the song alone on a bare stage in a regular evening gown, while the other two nominated songs were performed with dancers, sets and props
