"Happy Hour" is a 1986 single by British Indie rock band The Housemartins. It was the third single from the album ''London 0 Hull 4'' and reached number three in the UK Singles Chart. It was written on Wednesday 22 January 1986 - the same day ''Me and the Farmer'' was penned. The band's first big hit, it stayed on the singles chart for 13 weeks, peaking in the week of 28 June 1986. The song also enjoyed exposure on United States college radio. ''Rolling Stone'' noted that despite "irrepressibly giddy music hooks", the song's "sobering" lyrics "hammer away at the hypocrisy and sexism of young British business types on the move." On their 1992 album, ''Gordon'', the Barenaked Ladies paid tribute to this song by breaking into it at the end of the song "Hello City".〔("the Housemartins (whose wonderful minor hit Happy Hour is now best remembered as the coda to Barenaked Ladies' Hello City)")〕 Comedian Phill Jupitus makes an appearance in the music video, reading a newspaper. ==Charts== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Happy Hour (The Housemartins song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
