"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, and this song incorporated a gothic rock sound and use of more electronic music elements. The "Happy House" described in the song's lyrics is actually an insane asylum ("...We've come to scream in the happy house / We're in a dream in the happy house / We're all quite sane...").
The single became Siouxsie & the Banshees' second top twenty hit, peaking at number seventeen in the UK singles chart.
