Housemartins - "Happy Hour"

[jhchouston]

Makes me think of Morrissey.

[morrilf]

What a good place to be! Happy memories!

[Sackobooks]

Hey, a Barenaked Ladies sample! Cool.

[pokiepoke]

@Sackobooks can only assume this is a troll. no one's that stupid. nice try.

[Sackobooks]

@pokiepoke I actually intended for it to be a joke. I am well aware that it was BNL who sampled this, and not the other way around.

The 80's simply rocked, if you knew where to listen!

[Jumpymi2]

An Ultimate deep dive into the fabolous 80's. LoVe It!

[ThePathofenlightment]

the theme song to bogger box office's Crap Films of drew Barrymore series!

[DDSeever]

Wow, what an amazingly cheerful-sounding song! Love the bells part.

And Norman Cook was in on it, eh? Wow.

[NewRomanticx]

Think I prefer Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim in the HouseMartins.... Eitherway, love this song :)

[joeypolanski]

1986 ! I'm 22 again.

[sksua93]

@joeypolanski Ah 1986....It's the first semester of my senior year and I'm 16 again! Great memories of dancing to The Housemartins at parties. :)

[joeypolanski]

@sksua93 I'd ask you to dance, but ... you appear to be underage. ;)

[sksua93]

@joeypolanski Well, sadly, it's 2011 and I haven't been underage since 1990. So we might as well dance!

[joeypolanski]

@sksua93 Okay, let's dance. But if you hear something that sounds like bones creaking, I'm gonna say that's just added percussion. It's the 2011 sound.

[sksua93]

@joeypolanski Haha, good one! Oh, the days of being underage and fake IDs that actually worked. I'm just glad I still feel as young as I was when I first danced to The Housemartins. :) The 80s were such a great time to be young!

[VivaHunter8]

Love this song, the pure relief when you find a song you've been googleing potential lyrics for :D

[MrDrunknbass]

why does the guy sound like the one out of beautiful south

[HieloIFoundUrSharpie]

@MrDrunknbass Because after The Housemartins disbanded, he formed The Beautiful South :)

[MrDrunknbass]

@HieloIFoundUrSharpie ahh now i get it! thx

[pondmaker]

Great Memories from College in the 80's...

[LooseCharm]

Great song that you probably haven't ever heard... just TRY to not dance (or tap your toes at least)

[AliyahAlia]

I LOVE mp3iiffy it WORKS just google mp3iiffy.

[86Retrogirl]

so glad that I belong to the 80's generation... go new wave!

[Voyeur399]

This song is so funny. "Happy" hour out with the boss... yeah right. That's why I always skipped those after work cocktail gatherings. Happy for me was being someplace else when the paid day was done. Didn't know this song back then, but definitely concur now.

[simon71590]

what a good place to be, dont believe her, she speaks a different language and its never really happended to me

[Muddy194]

[bluewave12]

[XiaOwns]

lift song!

[LooseCharm]

great song, but... why not actually make a video for it?

[bpabustan]

There is a video of this song, it's a partial claymation. You will see the very very young Fat Boy Slim on that video. Fat Boy Slim was the bassist for this band.

[yorkshireandproud]

there is a video for it but the video has lots of talking before it think his is one if you want to get straight into it lazy but hey lol
