The Divine Comedy - Happy Goth

[tazmon122]

by the way she's described...she seems rather sexy. god, i'm so lonely that i'm fantasizing about being the boyfriend of the subject this song...why is it all my hot friends either don't like goth music, or have a boyfriend (except for that one girl...she has a girlfriend)???

[HolgerHelfert]

sound a little like my favourite bowiesongs of the seventies...

[lonegroover]

Best song Hannon ever wrote.

[theloudhalo]

I've heard the Girl from Ipanema (Original) and this sounds NOTHING like it! Mind you, it sounds nothing like ANYTHING!

Neil, go back to the drawing board!

This is shite

[jokerfan211]

The lyrics to this song are pure genius, these guys really need more recognition :)

[pakarpis]

His voice sounds a bit like Jim Morrison of the Doors if he had a happy life.

[tamiochio]

Neil Hannon marry meeeehh... GASPS!

[sdrawkcabebag]

I'm I the only one at the chorus who's reminded of the song girl from ipanema? it sonds similar right? or am i crazy?

[champagnedsupernova]

yeah, a little :))

[cachaslokas]

im no musician, just a bare music lover... but I get your point, its the same tempo I think

[cachaslokas]

and maybe you are not crazy but Hey, good news! you have a f... good ear!!!! cool innit?

[Daveish]

@sdrawkcabebag while i understand what you mean i wouldn't really say so. It's a similar style but i wouldn't have thought about it if you hadn't meantioned it

[virtualmikee]

@sdrawkcabebag yeah!.... a little crazy dear ;)

[SPACEBOSS68]

@sdrawkcabebag They both have a Bossa Nova beat.

[SaveaDrumBangTre]

"I live for the applause!"

[HypoCooper]

That is almost autobiographical of my ex-gf lol

[MEpianist]

Wonderful musical color he gets he, he's really a master of controlling this little orchestra. Clever lyrics too.

[bwinchell1]

just recently made up the name before i saw this. mine refures to me as a goth with a positive attitude mostly a middle finger to people who think all goths are negitive...

[rabbitwho]

ha ha, that's me when I was a teenager.

[ScorchingAngel]

@rabbitwho I am still like that at 23 years old, though I toned it down quite a lot since I was that sad teenager with the white face and big crosses, haha. I still regard this as the best song about goths and it is EXACTLY how I always felt. This happy goth applauds for this man!

[starsoftrackandfield]

lovely performance, don't know why he had to impersonate Noel Gallagher at the end and be so without modesty though...

[sloppyjakekisses]

I love this! Thanks for posting!

[roseille]

This was really cool. I really like his style and voice.

[RavenDayexMilhas]

davesni he says i live for the applause not occult

[susannahlondon]

Great , great song

[davesni]

why does he say "i live for the occult" at the end?

seems rather odd....spose its about a goth tho...

[ryko26]

He says "I live for the applause" you tit.

[SeamusBlonde]

where did you get occult?

[davesni]

who cares where he is from?

no one

[evil0smidgit]

Neil Hannon was born in Derry / Londonderry and subsquently moved to and grew up in Eniskillen...

[heilong79]

Yeah your right, he is living in Dublin now.

[AphexFace237]
