Happy Song
- Boney M
We are down, we are crazy fools everyday at school
Teachers here, teachers there,
Books and books, they are everywhere
Come on boys, we need to dance, we have got a good chance
Lay your problems on the floor, clap your hands and sing once more
Everybody, let's go to the "King",
We can dance there, dance and eat an ice-cream
Everybody dancing all night long,
Try to do it, sing a happy song
Music, dancing in the night, we can get so high,
For no reason no long stop, now the time to go to the top
It's a sweeter happy song, we'll sing all night long
Lay your problems on the floor, clap your hands and sing once more
Everybody, let's go to the "King",
We can dance there, dance and eat an ice-cream
Everybody dancing all night long,
Try to do it, sing a happy song
It's time to dance, it's time to sing a happy song (happy song)
Let's get, let's go boys, come with me and sing, sing (happy song)
Come on boys, we need to dance, we all have got a good, good chance
Lay your problems on the floor, clap your hands and sing once more
Music sound in the night, we all can get so high,
For no reason no long stop, now's the time to go to the top
We are down, we are crazy fools everyday at school
Teachers here, teachers there,
Books and books, they are everywhere
Come on boys, we need to dance, we have got a good chance
Lay your problems on the floor, clap your hands and sing once more
Everybody, let's go to the "King",
We can dance there, dance and eat an ice-cream
Everybody dancing all night long,
Try to do it, sing a happy song
Everybody

지난 1993년 김건모의 '핑계'가 공전의 히트를 기록하면서 우리는 앞 아닌 뒤 박에 악센트가 있는 독특한 리듬의 '레게'에 대해 관심을 갖게 되었다. 다들 그렇게 알고 있지만, 사실 한국 음악 팬들이 레게를 접한 것은 그보다 훨씬 전의 일로, 문제의 곡은 1978년에 전국적 히트를 기록한 그룹 보니 엠(Boney M)의 'Rivers of Babylon'이었다.
그때는 레게라는 장르가 대중적인 관심이 되질 못해, 그것이 레게인지도 모르고 열심히 들었지만 따지고 보면 많은 국내 음악 대중들에게 레게음악의 정체를 알려준 노래는 'Rivers of Babylon'이었고 가수는 보니 엠이었던 것이다.
그들은 '디스코' 유행이 지구촌을 석권하던 1970년대 말 영국을 비롯한 유럽과 아시아에서 최고인기를 누렸다.
