Found this from the New Order FAQ:
"What is the song The Happy One? The song was originally recorded during the sessions in Ibiza for Technique. Although Tony Wilson and Rob Gretton, liked the song, the band didn't like it, so it was never put on Technique, although it appears in segments on the Substance video. However, after Technique was released, Peter Hook appeared on a late night TV programme called The Other Side Of Midnight (presented and produced by Tony Wilson), and played this song with a large number of sequencers and computers (the rest of band couldn't be bothered to turn up). This is the only public performance of the song The Happy One and has appeared on a number of bootleg records. Some bootlegs are rumoured to exist with the studio verson of the song, that contains lyrics.
The Happy One was also used for about a year on the BBC1 radio show under the same name with John Peel.
Also, a Factory promo CD (FAC 303) made as a promo for the French release of Palatine, titled Palatine Lane, included several Intermede Musical tracks which were excerpts from The Happy One. See the 2nd part of the Factory Discography for more details."
So, it might have come from the John Peel show?
