About This Track

“Happy House” is a song recorded by English rock band Siouxsie & the Banshees. The song was written by Banshees members Siouxsie Sioux and Steven Severin and it was released as the first single from the band’s third album Kaleidoscope.

“Happy House” and the Kaleidoscope album marked a change in musical direction for Siouxsie & the Banshees. They used a reggae vibe on drums and both atmospheric and edgy guitars. This song also incorporated a use of more electronic music elements.

The single became Siouxsie & the Banshees’ second top twenty hit, peaking at number seventeen in the UK singles chart.

Later, the song’s introduction was sampled by the band Mindless Self Indulgence for the song “Bitches”. The Italian dance act Cappella was sued in 1993 for using the distinctive riff from “Happy House” in their song “U Got 2 Know” in the early 90’s, without paying publishings and they lost. European band Ginger Ale also covered the song in 2003.

    Once worked in a "Happy House" St lawerences, and this was our theme song but only because it was a good place to be. The residents knew so much more than all of us, you would see it in their faces, we were the children still playing.

    " Am I the only one who finds Siouxsie extemely attractive in that get up? " I hope this was a trolling comment... I really do.
