Music video

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.

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.

Release

Released on August 27, 1997, it fared less well commercially than the album's previous singles, stalling at number 35 in the UK Singles Chart in September 1997,[1] thereby failing to repeat the prior singles' Top 10 success.

Legacy

"Your Lucky Day in Hell" was featured in the films Scream 2 (1997), Grosse Pointe Blank (1997), The Maker (1997), Dead Man on Campus (1998) and Yes Man (2008).

gollark: My server stuff probably *could* mostly run off a raspberry pi, but those have downsides and when I occasionally do want to do heavy computing it would be VERY IRRITATING.

gollark: I'm sure streaming services would *never* randomly pull content.

gollark: Meanwhile, you can fit probably several thousand movies in DVDish quality on a single high-capacity HDD these days.

gollark: Besides, with DVDs you have to physically *store* them and move them around and it's irritating.

gollark: Those are bad at transcoding and generally have slow storage.
