"Your Lucky Day in Hell" is a song by American alternative rock band Eels. It was the third and final single to come off their 1996 debut, Beautiful Freak. However, it did less well commercially, stalling at #35 in the UK Singles Chart in September 1997[1], thereby failing to repeat the Top 10 success of their two previous singles "Novocaine for the Soul" and "Susan's House". In late 1997, it appeared on the Scream 2 soundtrack. Around the same time, a video was released to promote the single, featuring various shots filmed with high-8 cameras. This video featured a remixed version of the song. This remix also received moderate airplay on U.S. modern rock stations. The video was shown on MTV's 12 Angry Viewers and was aired several times on 120 Minutes between December 1997 and January 1998.
[edit] B-sides
The 7" vinyl and the CD single contain a cover of the Rickie Lee Jones song "Altar Boy". The CD single had "Susan's Apartment" as a bonus track. Both songs were included on the compilation album B-Sides & Rarities 1996–2003.
