This just blew my effing my mind. All this time I thought this was The Beatles, and today I find out it's by The Turtles. Who in the hell are The Turtles? I've obviously heard them, but I hadn't ever heard OF them. It's really hard to believe this song wasn't the product of a Beatles acid trip, but instead, of a Turtles acid trip; I mean lets be honest, it doesn't matter who wrote this song, they were on acid. Seriously, they were. It was the mid 60's. There was so much fucking acid around that it rained LSD at Woodstock. You probably could have found an I-V drip for acid if you tried, or even an LSD enema if you so wanted.
With or without the hallucinations however, "So Happy Together" is a wonderful song. There's no other way to put it. If this song doesn't make you smile, you must be dead. Even if you don't speak English, the music alone is enough to make you grin. And, if you do speak English, you'll notice that the lyrics are charming and sweet, just like the peppy music that will absorb your brain quicker than the acid that created the song. There's nothing complex about it. It's just a simple, psychedelic love song that sounds like it should have been a cut on Sergeant Pepper's.
The fucking Turtles... I can't believe it.
This is a nice song. You and me, and me and you....
ReplyDeleteUm honestly Im fucking shocked! I had no idea that this wasn't the Beatles. I thought the exact same thing. THE TURTLES, again who the hell are they and do they have any other good songs that you could recommend? Thanks for bringing this realization to the surface. :)
