The Housemartins “Happy Hour”

May 16th, 2009

Terrible animation with good intentions; terrific song. This is their 1986 album London 0 Hull 4 . “The liner notes and lyrics reflect singer Paul Heaton’s interest at that time in Christianity and Marxism.”

    Oh my gosh I forgot how much I used to love that song AND the Housemartins. Thank you so much for sharing this. Now I am going to have to dig out my old CD! :)

    I own their album on cassette and still have it – it doesn’t work, (the tape deck not the cassette) but just can’t bear to part with it….yep, music geek. That’s me.

    I’m 17 again and a cute little mod girl – if only for a few minutes

    I absolutely LOVE the Housemartins. This cassette never left my stereo all through college (and later in my car). Since then, I’ve upgraded to MP3 versions. They rock!!
