Happy Together (song)

"Happy Together" is a 1967 song from The Turtles' album release of that year, also titled "Happy Together".
The song is considered to be a classic by many, and it has been featured in many movies, including 1986's Making Mr. Right, 2002's Adaptation, and 2003's Freaky Friday. The Freaky Friday version in particular featured a slighty different version of the song, performed by Simple Plan.
Many have come to remember The Turtles for this song in particular, although it has been covered a great deal, from the likes of New Found Glory to Frank Zappa to Weezer. In fact, in 1999, BMI named "Happy Together" as the 44th-most performed song of the 20th century. With approximately 5 million performances, it is in the same league with songs performed and written by more well known artistes, such as "Yesterday" by The Beatles, or "Mrs. Robinson" by Simon and Garfunkel.
There is evidence of a recording of the song by Perry Como, done on June 2, 1967, but it is not definitively confirmed.
