I was hoping someone would mention Flo & Eddie. Howard and Mark are hilarious guys.
This one always cracked me up, because it's so horrible in every way.
I guess Howard Kaylan lives in the Seattle area (who knew?) - or so I found one afternoon when I was drunkenly surfing facebook.
However, when it comes to the Turtles, no matter how many times I hear this song, it still makes me swoon. This is proper bedroom music in the Ki/Lady house.
Plus Mark Volman's damn silly face throughout the whole video ... absolute gold.
The Battle of the Bands era line-up is possibly my favorite of The Turtles' history, with Johnny Barbata on Drums...check out this performance! The song was a sarcastic joke on their US label (White Whale) which backfired through turning into a major hit. The label was begging for another "Happy Together" and you might have thought that with the sloppy cliches and "et ceterea" thrown in the chorus the powers that be got the joke, but they only smelled a hit and got one, although most of the Battle of the Bands album was a very interesting collision of styles hinting at the Zappa world Flo and Eddie would enter in The 70's.
