"Harmony in My Head" is a song by Buzzcocks. It was released as a single in 1979, reaching number 32 in the British charts. It is one of many Buzzcocks songs written and sung by singer songwriter Steve Diggle, and gives its title to his autobiography.
The song title was also used as the name of a radio show hosted by singer Henry Rollins on Indie 103.1. Rollins stated in Fanatic, his book about the radio show's first run that "Harmony in My Head" is his favorite Buzzcocks song; appropriately, the Buzzcocks' recording kicked off the very first episode of the show. When Rollins relaunched the show after a short hiatus on 27 December 2005, he used a live recording of the same song.
In a 2006 interview with Pitchfork Media, Diggle revealed he had smoked 20 cigarettes to achieve the gruff sound of the vocals.

Famous quotes containing the words harmony and/or head:
“A villain must be a thing of power, handled with delicacy and grace. He must be wicked enough to excite our aversion, strong enough to arouse our fear, human enough to awaken some transient gleam of sympathy. We must triumph in his downfall, yet not barbarously nor with contempt, and the close of his career must be in harmony with all its previous development.”
—Agnes Repplier (1858–1950)
“Woman is the crown of all creation, but Man is the head who wears it, and even the servant is master in his house.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
