It's so great to see these songs being shared for new generations to discover and enjoy. ❤️

I have 5 kids ranging in ages 13-36 and I used to sing it to everyone of them to get them to sleep when they were babies :) Always loved this song! Keep On Rockin'

"Happy Together" was a number one hit for The Turtles in 1967. It's one of the songs that defines the sixties, imo. When you're ready for more from The Turtles, check out some of these classics: "Elenore", "You Baby", "You Showed Me", "She'd Rather Be With Me", and "It Ain't Me Babe".

Another great group from the 60's. The Turtles are an American rock band formed in 1965. "Happy Together" is their biggest hit in 1967. But they had a lot of great songs such as "It Ain't Me Babe", "Let Me Be", "You Baby", "Grim Reaper Of Love", "Can I Get To Know You Better", "She'd Rather Be With Me", "You Know What I Mean", "She's My Girl", "Elenore", "You Showed Me" etc.

i like how it starts - If i should call you up - invest a dime ......great line

My goodness you guys are taking us all on a "Magic Carpet Ride." I was 13 years old in 1967 when this song came out. We were all listening to this on our AM transiter radios all summer long. This song has stuck with me all these years. And here I am at 68 years old with 100's of others watching you two enjoy the era and the Glorius music of our youth. Just Awesome!

You guys need to check out 'The Association" and "Every Mother's Son" from roughly the same time period. Great bands. Music from the 60s and 70s is the best. Keep on listening to it, please.

THX! Awesome track one of the hundred most iconic songs of the 60's. Love the "flower poweresque" and Beach Boysesque atmospheres. A treat.

I saw them once...GREAT performance and show. Thye really made the audience feel like they were a part of the show...was a good night

I pray that you guys are happy together for all your lives 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Great react 👍🏻

When I was a teenager my boyfriend, later husband, loved this song so I guess it was our song. It reminds of him everytime I hear it.

Another great upbeat song from this era is “Double Shot of My Baby’s Love” by The Swingin’ Medallions.

Sweet song!!

Jimmie Rodgers "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine" ..A Must Hear Classic.

Believe it or not, I saw "The Turtles" at an outdoor park, sitting on a blanket, on a nice sunny day. There were three bands that day. I saw this song live. I also saw the Kingsman perform "Louie Louie" as well as Paul Revere and the Raiders perform "Indian Reservation". Paul Revere's keyboards were built into the front of an old Ford Mustang. Those three bands, all on that same day, sitting on that same blanket. This was years ago of course. Trivia fact ->The Turtles founder, Mark Volman, wrote music for the band "Duran Duran". On edit....it was so long ago, I forgot that I also saw Herman Hermits sing "There's a kind of Hush" on that same day as well. It was four bands now that I recall.

This is the music I grew up with. And I'm thankful to my mam for having us listen to this kinda music. Which is just a little before my time. When these were in the charts, I would have been a baby. My teenage years were the late 70s,(more fabulous music)❤🎶🎤🇬🇧

This is one of my FAVORITE 60's songs! I'm so glad you like it.

I love this song so much , its just so happy , it makes you feel so good and easy to sing too and how you feel about someone you love, so innocent

Some surprising online info on the song: "Despite what the title implies, this is not a song about a couple in love. According to Gary Bonner, who wrote the song with Alan Gordon, the song is about unrequited love. Our desperate singer wants the girl to "imagine how the world could be so very fine," proposing what would happen "if I should call you up." The line in the fadeout, "How is the weather?" is when he realizes they will never be more than passing acquaintances, as he resorts to small talk to keep from bursting into tears."

Another happy go lucky Folk Pop band from this era is the Lovin' Spoonful. They had many great hits. "Daydream", "Do You Believe In Magic" and "Summer In The City" are good starters.

I used to sing this song in High School choir. Great harmonies and memories! 😁❤️

Elenore is another big hit if theirs, brilliant voices and harmonies ❤️

I've loved this song since I was a teenager, so happy and uplifting!

Happy little tune of the 60's. Takes me back to the days of mini skirts and Peter Max posters.

My sister got this album when it came out in 1967, I was 6 loved them since. I still have it. The whole album is great!!!🎶👌🎼👍🎼🎵✌️😁

No matter the genre the 60's gave us music that is just as awesome today as it was more than half a century ago. So many happy memories of this song!

Happy Together is one of the most contagious songs ever written. Another song not often heard anymore is "You Baby" a "so 1965" sounding song with the electric twelve string guitar.. The music of the 1960's was so damn fun. I saw the two front men of the Turtles in an oldie s concert in 1986, with Gary Lewis and the Playboys [well, one playboy and some new guys], the Buckinghams and the Grass Roots, all famous 60's bands.

Gotta do "She'd Rather Be With Me"--another of their many classics.

the Turtles made great music, and were also a lot of fun. You should watch them perform live. Try a song called "She'd Rather Be With Me", or "Outside Chance"

I sang "Happy Together" to my son when he was very young, whenever he was sad. It can pick up sadness and make you feel someone loves you and you are not alone.

I love your reactions. When you feel 'em, you feel 'em. A good song is a good song, no matter how old it is, or the genre. You guys make me smile, and I appreciate it. Peace.

These guys were fun in concert. I saw them in the late 90s along with a few other "oldies" groups but the Turtles clowned around on stage, engaged the audience and put on a really good show. By far they were my favorite group of the night.

That has always been one of my favorite songs. It was wonderful getting to see you experience it for the first time. So glad that you liked it. Certain songs mean so much to me and hold so many memories, and when I see them being taken out and enjoyed again and respected, it makes me feel really happy. :) Thank you!

The Turtles actually performed in the multipurpose room at my alma-matter, Granada Hills High School...when I was a student!! I graduated in Winter 1963!! ❤️

I was lucky enough to see them perform live at UMass in 1967. I was a Freshman. They put on an amazing show.

A huge #1 song in 1967. Depending on which chart you look at, "Happy Together" was either the #1, #2, or #3 song of the year. No matter how you measure it, it was one of the top 5 songs of 1967. The Turtles had a short, but productive run as a pop group, with hits like "It Ain't Me Babe," "You Baby," "She'd Rather Be With Me," "You Showed Me," "Elenore," and "She'd Rather Be With Me." By the 1970s, their star had fallen and the two front men of the group dissolved the group and went off and formed a new, more progressive group called "Flo and Eddie," which developed something of a cult following. But they never enjoyed quite the same commercial success as The Turtles. In an age when the charts were dominated by the British Invasion from across the ocean and the Motown sound here at home, The Turtles were one of the few American bands that broke through and had huge success.

The Turtles, Spanky and Our Gang, the Association. So many good groups.

This was one of my favorite songs back in the day! Great melody, great vocals ... What's not to like?! And thank you two, as always, for a great reaction ..

You guys are good, nobody has done the Turtles reaction video that I know of. Way to hit stuff nobody else does.👍👍

I love a lot of the songs from this era including this one.I grew up listening to it as well as the songs that came after

Damn, this takes me back! I was a teenager then, and adored this song. It represented a time and how, and where, I was at that time. Thank you guys immensely. Robert, 73, UK.

Finally !!! someone reacting to the Turtles one of the best Iconic bands from the 60's

This is y'all's theme song, Jacksons. One of the joys of experiencing music with the two of you, is to see your fully alive ears, but also your fully alive love for music and each other. And your fans too, it would appear. It was a blessing to grow up with such uplifting music all around us. And it gives me, and many others, I suspect, a particular joy to see that the music is not disappearing down the memory hole, but being given a new life, a second and third life. In a word, immortality. Long may your uplifting show thrive! The Turtles were associated with Frank Zappa, and I got to see an iteration known as Flo & Eddie, who were the lead singers of The Turtles. Intellectuals with good hearts. Their other hits are worth a listen, but this one is one-of-a-kind special. May you always be happy together.

One of my all time favorites. So glad you liked it. Thankyou. ❤️🎼🎸

"call you up, invest a dime". That dates it pretty well! Peace, Love!

This is one of my all time favorites. He's letting her know, just how he feels about her.

Since you guys are doing this era, please listen to “Get Together” by The Youngbloods. Such a great song. Such a great message.

Love this song! When my son was little this song was making the rounds on MTV and vh1, anytime it came on he would come running to listen , thx for playing it...♡

Thanks for bring this oldie to us! If you do Turtles again, look for a vid that shows them performing. They were nutty funny!

Met my husband in 1967. And yes this song was very popular. One of my favorites. We didn’t marry until 1971. 51 years later….we are still happy together!

Your reactions to the oldies are fantastic. You guys seem so happy together. Much love.

THIS song was played & sang by every teenager from 1967 thru the early 70's. It was everywhere! Went straight to our DNA, baby!

I just wanted to say I appreciate your reaction to this song. My father is the guitarist of The Turtles, Al Nichol. I’ll be showing this to my father to let him know people still appreciate his music years later. Thanks for the reactions you guys give. I love how genuine they are. If you want to check out another turtles song, I recommend Elenore.

I remember this song was everywhere in the mid-80s because it was featured on some movie soundtrack and became a hit again. It was the one with John Malkovitch going into space. I think the Monkees were also having a resurgence at the same time as their show was back on TV again. It was a great time for music new and old right at that moment.

The Turtles and the Lovin'Spoonful define the 60s for me. Their music always made me happy

Have you noticed how great and romantic the music was back in the day.

I really love you two. I just hope that you have a great live together. Thanks for playing this. I am 76 years old and this was the music during my days in the US Navy and stationed at Pearl Harbor on a submarine. We took reel to reel to sea and played songs if the 60's all of the time in the crews mess. Love this stuff. Thanks. Love your style

two of the original members, including the lead singer, still tour to this day as a duo called Flo and Eddie. they played at our local fair a few years ago

Harmonies and catchy melodies always made great songs...🤓

What Great awesome and beautiful songs Back in the days 👍👍 Definitely Nice beautiful love songs🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵😁

The Turtles were an interesting band perpetually at odds with their record label. Here they took a song that many other bands had turned down because it was too sappy, and they turned it into a huge hit, still their signature song. But while they wanted to write their own songs and change their sound as music changed, their record label wanted them to just keep buying more songs like Happy Together. They wound up mocking the song with the song "Eleanor" which became their second biggest hit. But it comes from an album called "The Battle of the Bands" in which each song is supposed to have been recorded by a different band in a different genre. They were also one of the funniest bands of the 60's with a lot of tongue in cheek songs, like their surf song "Surfer Dan" or "I'm Chief Kamanawanalea (We're the Royal Macadamia Nuts)" by Chief Kamanawanalea and the Royal Macadamia Nuts. The two main Turtles have been together since the 60's, for a while as Flo and Eddie and as a radio announcers in California, as back up singers on an amazing number of songs, and for the last decade or so as the hosts of an oldies tour (called the Happy Together tour) in which they perform with 5 or 6 other bands from the 60's each performing 5 songs (because they are in their 70's by now, except for the Cowsills who were children stars). They were holding the tour up until the pandemic. I don't know if they will start it up again.

I love love songs!💖 For a short and ultra sweet one by The Beatles, from their 1966 Revolver album, listen to "Here, There and Everywhere" 💞

The Beatles And I love her 1963

This is a wonderful song ; it makes me miss my wife - hold onto each other tight and Never let go 💕

Turtles are great. So are the sixties!

Written by Gary Bonner the group got it from a scratched Acetate. The only recording they did with Chip Douglas before The Monkees spirited him away for their Headquarters album. He was replaced by the Leaves Jim Pons.

60s, 70s and 80's have got to be the greatest 30 years in music!

The Turtles were one of those groups that, no matter what one of their songs you listen to, it makes you feel good.

May I suggest you react to the Hollies- He Ain't Heavy. A song as relevent today as it was back then, and a message for all mankind, whatever creed, colour or religion!

You can't go wrong with The Turtles! They have several other songs worthy of a reaction.

Saw Them in Concert in 1985 with, The Buckinghams, Grassroots and Gary Lewis and the Playboys, all headliners from the 60's early 70's. A beautiful night. Happy Together was the Tour's title.

So simple so clear beautiful clever and very powerful song. Never gets old to me anyway. Much respect to know that there are people like me out there that can enjoy so much music from different generations different titles. Hey stay happy guys❤

That was a good reaction you guys I love some of the American bands that kinda have been overlooked a little bit by the British invasion the turtles being one of them along with the birds but my favorite song by the turtles is you Baby I think you guys need to check that out as much in love as y'all are I'm 62 and I've heard these songs on every channel probably 1000 times each but when you see somebody else react to a song that they've never heard it is really a lot of fun it helps us the viewer really get into the show and remember the song the way that we did when we 1st heard it great job guys ..still would love bad company silver blue and gold or seagull ...God bless guys keep spreading the music around ❤

Man! You guys would've loved living in the 60's!

So deceptively simple, but each part is so on point. Timeless.

The Turtles has an impressive string of hits. "Elenore" is also one of my favorites. There is a lot to hear in this rabbit hole. I'm on a crusade to expose you to one of the best pop groups of the '70s: The Grass Roots". They had a string of hits from 1967-1975. Start off with "Midnight Confessions" here's a link (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oZ6hqbKAttKVg4E.html ). The video isn't great but it's the original version of the song. It has an iconic opening bass line and great horn arraignment.. They're second hit is "Let's Live For Today" (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o8Cbh5ybx-C2p40.html) which was very popular with the soldiers in Viet Nam. There are many more great songs and once you hear these, you'll want to hear more. This is also a rabbit hole very worthy of your time.

The Turtles were part of the groups from The British Invasion! “ I was in love with all the song’s from these great singers in the 60’s, I was 17 when this song was on the radio. 👍🥰🌺🌹🌹

Another great band from the 60's. Next up you should react to Cherish, mt all time favorite of theirs.

It's so wonderful to see you two react to this great music exactly the way we did back then. Carefree, happy days.

The lead singer Howard Kaylan is a great friend of mine and we've been friends on social media for over 10 years. When I met him backstage at a concert in 2017 it was exactly 50 years after he met The Beatles, Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones, and Jimi Hendrix all on the same night in 1967. Then by the end of the concert.. I ended up being on stage with him and some of the other acts, singing this song ☮️

I saw them around 1990. They were fantastic! They are also like a kind of souundrack for the 60s. The 60s wouldnt be same without The Turtles

Love the turtles, love this song! Thanks!

Just a great selection. One of the big favorites of my childhood.

Love it! Always have. I like the Mothers of Invention version too.

React to the Rascals Good Loving, People got to be free, Groovin

Love the Turtles! This is my favorite one from them! Thanks!!!!

Shawn and Mel Happy Together

We had so much love for everyone from the 50s to the 70s. It was a great time in life.

This is a song I grew up with. You just can't help smiling listening to it.

The Turtles don't get enough credit for how good they were, very underrated. They had so many hits. Check out "You Baby" and "Ellenor."

We were so fortunate to have songs like this growing up in the 60s.

One of the great singles of the 60s. Irresistible!

got to say yous two are a great team, you're back to back, good energy

You Showed Me by TURTLES

Congratulations Shawn, you're the first person ever to listen to this song while wearing a Slipknot T-shirt. Just messin' wif ya, it's all good

Still my #1 song after 54 years. My goodness, I am getting so old.

Even if you’re friends you can’t help but fellow love for each other.

Great reaction... I was a 12 year old playing little league baseball when this song was big. I still remember those times with a smile

Music in 60s and 70s was the best. Was a teenager in the 70s , wish kids had this music now

Great song and I love you are playing some oldies, the two of you are awesome ❤️
