有歌迷對The Turtles的暢銷曲" Happy Together "有點不同的看法,他的立論曾引發爭議,但如仔細聽這首歌的內容,聽聽歌的背景故事,也許對作者的觀點能以接受。
這一首歌是講一個傢伙被一個女孩甩了,他不敢約她出去聊天,那是一種單相思,所以歌詞講 :
“Imagine me and
you, I do”,Imagine? 就想想而已。
“If I should
call you up, invest a dime.”假如我投一毛錢打電話給你? If ? 假如?
“And you say you
belong to me, and ease my mind”,為什麼這傢伙需要安慰和確認?

Happy Together
Lyrics : Alan
Gordon / Garry Bonner
Imagine me and
you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So happy together
If I should
call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together
I can't see me
lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life
Me and you and
you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together
I can't see me
lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life
Me and you and
you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together
Ba-ba-ba-ba
ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba
Me and you and
you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together
So happy
together
How is the weather
So happy together
We're happy together
So happy together
Happy together
So happy together
So happy together (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba)
