874. Only Happy When It Rains by Garbage (1996)

"Only Happy When It Rains" broke Garbage internationally. The main character enjoys being depressed. Lead singer Shirley Manson considers it an example of Scottish humor. She is from Scotland where it rains constantly. However, the song also represents another example of 1990s musical themes. Unlike the 80s which was party central, 90s acts sang of depression.
