Happy Together

"Happy Together" is a 1967 song from The Turtles' album of the same name. Released in February 1967, the song knocked The Beatles' "Penny Lane" out of the #1 slot for three weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. It was the group's only chart-topper. "Happy Together" reached #12 on the UK Singles Chart in April 1967. The song was written by Garry Bonner and Alan Gordon, former members of a band known as The Magicians. The song had been rejected a dozen times before it was offered to The Turtles, and the demo acetate was worn out.

The song has been featured in many movies, 1987's Ernest Goes to Camp and 2003's Freaky Friday featured "Happy Together," as well as a cover by Simple Plan. In television, the song has been used in The Muppet Show (sung by guest star Florence Henderson with a set of Muppet Monsters and Frackles).
