I thought of it more as the rising bit throughout "Happiness". And i'm sure theres a bit of "Puppet" in there too. And at the end of "Miamo-Tutti" she's talking about the song "Happiness" and stuff...its wierd, each album [bar slide, for some reason] seems to have these little interlude bits - the samples from other songs on Happiness, Italian music [which I ADORE] off Geek, the cats off Love Circus. Its cool!!! I'll have to have another listen and see if all the bits off Happiness are all samples from other songs. You may notice if you have the Bitch EP that the same talky bit at the end of "Miamo-Tutti" happens at the start of "[Late Night] Dresses". I'm pretty sure that the end of "Puppet" on the EP is the same as on the album. I've also had "Sycophant" running through my head all day...I went to a mate's 21st last night...I am guilty as charged... ...beautiful...

I was surprised to find that despite the different "feel" of the albums, they did have a lot in common: Most of the different feel of the two versions comes from the track order, but there are also a number of alterations. Of the thirteen tracks on the 4AD version of happiness, six are exactly the same as on the Capitol version. The remaining seven may either have a slightly different intro/prologue to the 4AD ones but be otherwise the same (ie "bad attitude", "around the world", "puppet" be completely new songs ("breathe across texas", "these boots") or be different versions of the songs ("you make me want to wear dresses", "puppet"). (I know "energy" was slightly different too, but can't remember if it was only an intro thing or if they are different versions).
