From left: Dave Hemingway, Paul Heaton, Norman Cook, Stan Cullimore. Background information. Debut album London 0 Hull 4 was released later in 1986 and contained their previous two singles as well as alternative versions of first single "Flag Day" and follow-up to Happy Hour, "Think for a Minute". At the end of 1986 they had their only UK No. 1 single on 16 December with a cover version of "Caravan of Love". It was knocked off the top spot by Jackie Wilson's "Reet Petite" on 23 December, denying the Housemartins the coveted Christmas No. 1 single

A "Happy Hour" is a promotional tool used by many drinking establishments when their prices are discounted. The Housemartins were compared by many to The Smiths. However the Smith's guitarist Johnny Marr was not impressed. He complained that "'Happy Hour' was a complete rip-off of 'I Want The One I Can't Have', and they've nicked others to. This was The Housemartins first Top 10 hit in the UK, which was a fair achievement for a band on an independent label

Produced by John Owen Williams. Album London 0 Hull 4. Happy Hour Lyrics. It's happy hour again I think I might be happy if I wasn't out with them And they're happy, it's a lovely place to be Happy that the fire's real, the barman is a she. Where the haircuts smile and the meaning of style Is a night out with the boss Where you win or you lose, and it's them who choose And if you don't win, then you've lost
