      It's nice to see Pharrell get more recognition I remember rounding up all these songs during quarantine and I was surprised just how much great music he's been apart of.
      Btw I'm wondering where did you and everyone else who watched this video over the past couple days come from? It randomly got like 20k views in 2 days after sitting relatively stagnant. I wasn't sure if UA-cam started recommending it to people or if y'all all came from somewhere.
