See Bill Murray stroll down Happy Street

BILL MURRAY isn’t exactly known for his upbeat persona, but he has broken with his usual hangdog look by contributing to a new track called Happy Street.

Not only does Bill lend his vocals to the cheery song, he and collaborator — The Late Show bandleader Paul Shaffer — have also been immortalised in cartoon form.

Take a look as the pair take a jolly stroll around a New York neighbourhood remarking on the joys of life.

Sample lyrics: ‘When life is feeling sweet, it has a certain beat. Everything’s groovy when you’re walking down Happy Street.’

It’s a far cry from Bill’s depressed character in 2003 movie Lost In Translation, that’s for sure.

Paul Shaffer and The World’s Most Dangerous Band’s album will be released on March 17
