The Damned - I Just Can't Be Happy Today - 7''

The Damned - I Just Can't Be Happy Today - 7''
Released as a single on Chiswick Records in November 1979, it peaked at No. 46 in the UK Singles Chart. A different version of the song was on their album of the same era "Machine Gun Etiquette".
The single was edited for radio airplay, removing the spoken word monologue, though the version on the record is unaltered. The first track on the B-side, a cover of Sweet's ''Ballroom Blitz", was recorded with Lemmy of Motörhead on bass guitar.
The Damned performed "I Just Can't Be Happy Today" alongside "Smash It Up" on the BBC2 television show The Old Grey Whistle Test in 1979, where they infamously trashed the stage towards the end of the song.
