"Happy?" was the second single from Mudvayne's 2005 album Lost and Found, and it answers its own title with a snarl. Chad Gray barks and croons over Greg Tribbett's jagged riffs, Ryan Martinie's slippery bass and Matthew McDonough's pummeling drums, with Dave Fortman producing, recording and mixing alongside the band.
It spent a week at number one on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks, got to eight on Modern Rock Tracks, and was named Active Rock Song of the Year by Billboard Monitor. It also served as the theme for WWE Vengeance 2005 and was named the top Headbangers Ball video of that year: the band, dressed all in black, plays in a sunny field of flowers until a tornado roars up out of nowhere after the first chorus.
