- (Only In) Saudi
- Parody of "Happy" by Pharrell Williams and "Tacky" by Weird Al Yankovic
- Hybrid of Middle-Eastern / modern pop instrumentation recommended
- Instrumental version of "Happy"
- Jazzy instrumental version of "Happy"
- Piano instrumental version of "Happy"
- Music video ideas:
- Music video must show a mixed video and still image montage of everything to do with Saudi Arabia, for good or for ill.
- Somewhere in the video, show the (construction of the) Kingdom Tower, the first kilometer-high skyscraper in the world, located in Jeddah.
- Lyric ideas:
- Mention the prosperity of Saudi Arabia due to its oil wealth.
- Mention that women are banned from driving.
- Mention religious persecution
- All occurrences of "Happy" get replaced with "Saudi"
