I Just Can't Be Happy Today was a single by The Damned.

The song was heavily edited for radio airplay, removing the spoken word monologue, though the version on the record is unaltered. The first track of the B-side was recorded live at the band's first reformation gigs when billed as The Doomed, with Lemmy of Motörhead fame on bass guitar. "Turkey Song" wasn't credited on the sleeve.
