Music video

The music video for "Happiness" was directed by Dougal Wilson. [Knight, David. [http://www.promonews.tv/2008/04/07/goldfrapp%e2%80%99s-happiness-by-dougal-wilson/ "Goldfrapp’s Happiness by Dougal Wilson"] . PromoNews.tv. April 7 2008. Retrieved June 14 2008.] The video features a young man, dressed in a white suit, jumping for joy through his neighborhood. The video begins with Alison Goldfrapp sitting on a stoop when suddenly the young man appears from a cellar door. Goldfrapp makes additional Cameo appearances in the video as a black haired bus traveler, a police woman, a bush trimmer, and a braided flower stand keeper. Will Gregory makes similar appearances as, among others, a trash collector and a mailman. The video concludes with the cast of background characters coming together along with the young man, who then jumps in a circle with young children and a dancing dog. In the final scene, two elderly people – Goldfrapp and Gregory – arrive to join the revelry.
