"Glad to Be Unhappy"
Song
Published	1936
Songwriter(s)	Lorenz Hart
Composer(s)	Richard Rodgers

"Glad to Be Unhappy" is a popular song composed by Richard Rodgers, with lyrics by Lorenz Hart.^[1] It was introduced in their 1936 musical On Your Toes, sung by Doris Carson and David Morris,^[2]^[3] although it was not popular at the time, as there was only one recording of the song. In the 1937 London production, it was sung by Gina Malo and Eddie Pola. The song was performed in the 1954 Broadway revival by Kay Coulter and Joshua Shelley.^[4]

The Mamas & the Papas

Originally recorded for an appearance on "Rodgers and Hart Today", an episode of ABC Stage 67, the Mamas and the Papas' version of the song was released as a single at the end of 1967, reaching #26 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.^[5] It was issued to keep the group in the charts while awaiting the completion of the group's fourth album, The Papas & The Mamas. However, the song does not appear on that album; it was instead used to promote the group's second greatest-hits package, entitled Golden Era Vol. 2. It is the last of the Mamas & the Papas' singles produced in a professional studio; subsequent singles were recorded in John and Michelle Phillips' home studio. The mono single differs slightly from the stereo album mix, as was common for the group's singles, in that a few additional words are sung during the first chorus in the stereo mix.

The B-side of the single is "Hey Girl",^[6] a track from the group's first album.
