Beautiful Day (Scott Weiland song)


"Beautiful Day" is an alternative rock song written by Scott Weiland. The song is the first track on the soundtrack for the movie Bug. Bug is a psychological thriller, directed by William Friedkin, released on May 25, 2007.
The single is a remake of a Stone Temple Pilots outtake called "Learning To Drive". The title of the 2007 single was first reported to be called "Beautiful Day", but more recent sources reported it to be "Learning to Drive".
Scott told Hollywood Exclusive that "the song we wrote is almost perfect for the film because, on one end, it's beautiful and almost pristine -- and on the other side of things, it's really twisted and it's like you're on a psychotic roller coaster ride in slow motion".
The song, as "Beautiful Day", appears on Weiland's second solo album, "Happy" in Galoshes.
