"Happy" in Galoshes is the second solo album by American rock singer Scott Weiland. Weiland, known for his roles as the lead singer in Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver, released his first album, 12 Bar Blues in 1998. Ten years later, "Happy" in Galoshes served as the official follow-up.

Two versions were released, a single-disc and double-disc deluxe version (the deluxe edition offers a second disc of 10 extra tracks).[1] The album was released November 25, 2008, on Weiland's own Softdrive Records.[2] Produced by Doug Grean and Weiland, with select tracks recorded by Steve Albini, the album features guest appearances by Paul Oakenfold and No Doubt members Adrian Young, Tony Kanal, and Tom Dumont.[3] Oakenfold appears on a cover of David Bowie's "Fame". Weiland cited Bowie as one of his main influences.[citation needed]

This is Weiland's final main solo album featuring original material released during his lifetime, as his next and final solo album The Most Wonderful Time of the Year (2011) only featured covers of traditional Christmas songs.
