That one video that was like super happy? And there was a song?

What was that video that got shared a lot a few years ago where it was a bunch of scenes from around the world of joyful or touching moments? And it was set to music? I thought the song was Jungle Drum, but that's not turning anything up and it's definitely not the official music video for that song. Pretty sure I saw the video shared on Cup of Jo and Design Mom, among other places.

I guess this could have been up to a decade ago. The song was upbeat and the overall feeling was joy, frisson, uplift. That's all I got, I believe in you, metafilter!

My initial thought was also Pharrell's Happy and all its versions, but if not, maybe Where the Hell is Matt?

Maybe Michael Franti & Spearhead's Say Hey, or K'naan's Wavin Flag?

Humans are Awesome? There are hundreds of copycat videos with similar titles.

Response by poster: It's not any of those, but those are some delightful videos! The one I'm thinking of didn't involve the people in the various clips singing or seeming to be aware of making a video. I think the song it was set to had a female singer.

This probably isn’t it because you’d remember that the video is all babies, but The Happy Song by Imogen Heap?

Any chance it was the opening theme to Netflix's show Sense8?

Response by poster: Nope none of those. Less focus on singing and dancing than some of these. It was more like 'the world is full of so many amazing things'.

Did it include feats of strength?
