Widespread media attention was paid to one 12-year-one-time, whose downloads included "If You lot're Happy and You Know It" from Kazaa.^{[vi] [7] [8] [9]}

In 2007, the song was included as part of the Nihon no Uta Hyakusen, a listing of the 100 well-nigh well-known folk songs in Japan. Information technology is one of nine songs from foreign countries included on the list.

Similar many children's songs, at that place are many versions of the lyrics. A popular version goes like this:

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands!
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands!
If yous're happy and you know it, and so your face will surely testify it;
If you lot're happy and yous know it, handclapping your easily!

This poetry is ordinarily followed by 3 more, iv more, etc. which follow the aforementioned pattern but say: "If you lot're happy and you know it, stomp/postage stamp your anxiety!", "If you're happy and y'all know it, shout/say 'hooray'!" or "shout/say 'amen'!", "If you're happy and yous know it, do all three!" and "If yous're happy and you know information technology, do all iv!".
