The DoubleHappys were Shayne Carter, Wayne Elsey, and "Herbie Fuckface". Herbie, a drum machine, was a lousy drummer, so John Collie was called in. The tragic death of Wayne Elsey lead to the formation of the Straitjackets Fits, but who knows what the DoubleHappys could have done...

Great song! I'd rank this song second to "I don't wanna see you again".

Herbie Fuckface was replaced by John Collie, who appears in this video (the drummer) Herbie was only a drum machine for a short time at the start

This is so evocative of countless parties I attended in various flats during the 1980s where all the furniture in the lounge would be moved out to fit the band in. Great memories.

The Wayne Elsey story gives me chills whenever I think of it. What an incredibly horrible tragedy.
