"Happy Together" is a song by American rock band the Turtles from the album Happy Together (1967). The song was written by Garry Bonner and Alan Gordon, former members of the Magicians. The song had been rejected a dozen times before it was offered to the Turtles, and the demo acetate was worn out.
Released as a single in February 1967, the song knocked the Beatles' "Penny Lane" out of the number one slot on the US Billboard Hot 100 and remained atop the chart for three weeks. It was the group's only chart-topper in the United States. "Happy Together" also reached number 12 on the UK Singles Chart in April 1967 and number 13 on the Top 100 Singles chart of 1967 in Canada.
The song is in the key of F-sharp minor, with the chorus in the F-sharp Mixolydian mode. The song ends on a Picardy third.
The song was arranged by Chip Douglas. Turtles singer Mark Volman said, “Chip was, besides being a really fine bass player and excellent singer, also a great arranger, who did most of the arrangements on ‘Happy Together.’ He is very instrumental in what would be thought of as the production.”
