"Putting Holes in Happiness" is a song by American rock band Marilyn Manson. It was released as the second single from their sixth studio album Eat Me, Drink Me. Written on lead singer Marilyn Manson's birthday (January 5, 2007), the song was initially set as the first single from the album, but this was soon changed at the request of Manson's record label, Interscope, and "Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides the Hand)" was released instead as the album's first single (similar to the case of "Get Your Gunn" from the band's debut). A two-track promotional disc was released in June 2007, but no confirmation of the song as the album's second single followed until Marilyn Manson confirmed the next single to be "Putting Holes in Happiness" on August 7, 2007. The song has already appeared on the radio in France, where a promo of the single has been sent out to several major radio stations.

Putting Holes in Happiness (рус. «Продырявливая счастье») — второй сингл из шестого альбома «Eat Me, Drink Me» группы Marilyn Manson. Песню, написанную на свой же день рождения 5 января 2007 года, Мэрилин Мэнсон описал как «романтическую, женоненавистническую, каннибальную, готическую и вампирическую балладу». Изначально песня планировалась стать первым синглом из альбома, но по требованию звукозаписывающего лейбла Мэнсона (Interscope Records) это решение было изменено в пользу теперь уже предыдущего сингла «Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides the Hand)», подобно синглу «Get Your Gunn» из дебютного альбома «Portrait of an American Family». В июне 2007 года был издан двух-трековый промодиск, но издание «Putting Holes in Happiness» в качестве второго сингла было подтверждено Мэнсоном только двумя месяцами позже, 7 августа. К тому моменту песня уже длительное время звучала на ведущих радиостанциях во Франции, которым раньше были разосланы копии проморелиза.
