I like these: 2 (13) Happy Together - Turtles (3 ;D One of the great songs of the 60's. Pop at it's finest. Everybody knows the song, but everybody's favorite reason for liking it is different. The BSNpub website has the detail of the song, some you notice, some you imagine and some...........well the Turtles didn't want to be a popband, they were a surfband that found hits with folk/rock and they wanted to rock (and did in concert)., so alot of their hits were, so of, parody of pop music - a joke to them, hits for the record company.....well read on: For some time, the group had been using a song on stage that seemed to go over well, but hadn't made its way to the recording studio. The song was given to them some eight months earlier on a scratchy acetate demo by songwriters Garry Bonner and Alan Gordon. The problem was, the song was almost a parody of itself, with very trite lyrics that no self-respecting rock and roll band would be caught dead singing. In fact, Bonner and Gordon had been turned down by everybody already, months ago. The group decided to start working on the song, "Happy Together," for a single [White Whale 244]. What resulted was not only an example of 1960s pop at its best, but also a new direction for the band. It's unlikely that many other bands could have pulled off the wry, we're-not-really-serious tone of the record that started to be the Turtles' trademark (mock rock?), but musically, the record was filled with little musical surprises and a strong hook. It starts with a catchy guitar riff that continues incessantly throughout most of the song, getting lower and lower in volume until it's virtually subliminal (but impossible to get out of one's mind), backed by a simple drum beat that could well have been taken from listening to a kid pounding on garbage cans. But on that simple beginning is built a minor masterpiece. After the first verse, the drummer puts in a little (pah-dah-pah, pah-dah-pah) riff that the listener is hoping to hear again, but it's there just once. Likewise the little organ "wah wah" heard behind the line "invest a dime" in the second verse, but never again. By the second verse, Douglas' vocal arrangements for the backup vocalists has them singing parts of lines interacting delightfully with Kaylan's lead vocal. And there is an oboe as a backing instrument (only in the second time the chorus "Me and you, and you and me..." is sung), again only once in the song. Add horns and strings to slowly build to a crescendo, along with an off the wall "How is the weather?" thrown in near the end (Translation: "See? I told you we weren't serious!"), and you've got a #1 record. In fact, you've got the only #1 record for either the Turtles or the White Whale label.
