The Who - Happy Jack Cartoon

[BeatlesManiac15]

It might be because im hyper, but this made me laugh so hard, but its awesome!!!

[61phantom]

cool beans

[Audacy]

This is an excellent video to a wonderful song. It grieves me to be compelled to downrate it because the embedding has been blocked. Why do the recording labels insist on making their music become obscure and forgotten when increased exposure would be better for everyone involved.

[TheJohndoe63]

summit to BLOW ur mjnd

[kev106lightinfantry]

just love the way keith moon owns this song

[mrjohn1964]

Mod? Psychedellic?

No!

Just THE WHO!

[SoundsofRuneScape]

Sorry, but I found this music video creepy. It just looks awkward the way it's been animated.

[YellowLickilickyXL]

@SoundsofRuneScape agreed lol it actually looks really cheap.

[SoundsofRuneScape]

@YellowLickilickyXL Thank you. I thought nobody would agree. It's just the way it looks. The way they're all doing the same animations over and over again, and not even much in time to the music. I mean look at the way Keith is drumming. Terrible. And the way Roger keeps bobbing his head up and down. Did they deliberately draw them in such a crappy fashion?

[ravendanzig]

For some reason, this cartoon video reminds me of The Beatles, 'Yellow Submarine.'

[hiddenswipe]

the who were amazing at crafting songs with stunning lyrics

[Thunderfingers999]

After watching this I now know that Entwistle could play a TEN string bass. Like he wasn't awesome enough already!

[Duenderelojero]

Cuando Roger Daltrey cantaba parecia un viejo juglar , contandote un cuento, uno de los mejores vocalistas de la historia, su voz no era una maravilla pero cantaba muy bien.

[Timb029]

Why doesn't John have a nose?

[hookedonranranruu]

@Timb029 He doesn't need one. He's John Enwistle.

[SnugglySara]

@Timb029 He's been "castrated"!

[shippodna]

I SAW YOU!!!!!!!!!

[sathanocracy]

i think the lyrics are "happy jack wasn't TOLD, but he was a man"

every thing else is right i think.

[zx6rtt]

You gotta be on some seriously strong shit to come up with lyrics like this

xD

[bigdaddystinkeye]

I could spend all day watching the Who on You-tube. This was good!

[MrThompsoncunningham]

um who exactly is jack

[gerardk51]

The Muppet drummer "Animal"  was based on Keith Moon.

[Tubernaut]

I saw ya!

[namedMayDay]

this reminds me my old days and sixties)

[SamZucchini]

THANK YOU PETER MAX

[saywhatmachine]

This is very inaccurate; The Ox is moving too much

[Canaveral305]

[DElasee]

I love the 'Yellow Submarine' style to this cartoon. :)

[thealiraysoosay]

[biboca68]

I've never had seen Keith moon so still...

[robertaplantledzep]

[havepie]

did you took the little cartoon they showed in Amazing Journey and then repeated it 10 times and put the song in the background? Not being a sarcastic asshole, just want to know. Love this song, love the album, love the who.

[yoricksjest]

Happy Jack was a turtle!

[SheFollowsMoon]

[sweeneyluv]

BEST WHO SONG .

[BandsBest]

-BandsBest

[ss180jay]

That was ace. Great work.

[13yguitarman]

i always thought the lyric was tall, just based on hearing it.

[mrwelbourn]

i think keith should be more crazy ;) ALOT more plzz :D but if your abilitys are limited then thats ok :)

[Bmaster25]

Why was this marked spam? That's the real story

[Sleepwalker1977]

Whoa...did you MAKE this? This is great!

[XL5timechampsXL]

This song is beyond pimp.

Now Ive listened to this song a thousand times and I know the lyrics are posted as "Happy Jack wasnt OLD but he was a man" ........To anybody else does it sound like they say "Happy Jack isnt TALL but he is a man"....I ask because everytime I listen to it I swear they say TALL instead of OLD. Anyways, the song kicks ass.

[doctorzaius77]

Now that you mention it .......You may be on to something here!!!!!! Seriously, I've listened to this son a thousand times and I think you might have discovered something. Your lyric (tall) makes more sense to me then old.......hmmmmm Very interesting....;-)

[LukaTaylorWatNow]

no its wasnt old and at the end right when the instruments end turn up your volume u can hear pete say i saw you

[VulpinFoxyFinnland]

@doctorzaius77 I always thought it was

"Happy Jack wasn't tall but he wasn't fat"

beats me why i thought it was.

[atgskater14]

@doctorzaius77

No listening closely I can hear that it's old, I've listened to this a thousand times and I've always thought that the lyrics were tall.

[Villalistico180]

@doctorzaius77 I think the lyrics are: Happy Jack wasn't TOLD, but he was a man

[greg0804]

@doctorzaius77 The British accent plays tricks on your ears

[thestrugglevideo]

@doctorzaius77 It's Roger's cockney accent that makes it sound like he's saying "tall". Great video. Too bad THE WHO didn't have their own cartoon show like Jackson 5 or a sitcom like the Monkees.

[yoyoyo2488]

i always thought tall 2

[gov360dotorg]

@XL5timechampsXL The British have a tendancy to pronounce things differently - for example they often drop the final consonant of a word and tack it on to the next word.

Like Righ TOE - instead of Right O - so Wasn't old - sounds a bit more like wasn't TALL

but it is definately Wasn't OLD - meaning he was the age of the guys when Pete wrote the song - 22 - 24 years old (not old - but still a man)

I found this cahnnel - becasue I was looking for It's "All too much" THANKS

[mirkus21]

@XL5timechampsXL I always think the same... must be tall...

[ericroi]

@XL5timechampsXL I know it's been over a year but I just came across this video.

They are saying "old" but The Who as you know are British, and they pronounce it "auld" like in "alud lang syne." They don't quite let go of the "t" in "wasn't" and then say "auld" and it sounds like "tauld" (the "d" is silent) So it sounds like "tall" to us Americans.

I lived in Southhampton England for a year when I was a 11 and it took a while for me to understand them. Listen again and see what you think.

[Wenindoubtukisscraig]

this is awesom!

[doctorzaius77]

Thank you! ;-)

[GabrielWilsonCollins]

[sanmexico]

very delightfull!!! I Love this album :)

[doctorzaius77]

Thank you for the nice comment!! I love this album too!

[ShockPole]

"I saw you!"

xD

[doctorzaius77]

where was I?

[ShockPole]

At the end of the recording, Townshend says "I saw you!" to Keith Moon. Listen closely. xD

[doctorzaius77]

I always wondered who said that

[BrasilNYC2007]

The story behind Townshend saying "I saw ya'" has to do with Keith Moon having been wearing a bee costume around the studio, causing a distraction to the recording process and had been told to stop and stay out of sight. At the end of whatever was being recorded (vocals I take it) Moon popped up, defying orders, and Townshend says "I saw ya'" I believe it was around this time that the Who cut a song called "Wasp Man" which might have something to do with the bee outfit?

[BrasilNYC2007]

Just to be balanced in all this, here's what Wikipedia says:

At the tail end of "Happy Jack", Townshend can be heard shouting "I saw you!", and it is said that he was noticing drummer Keith Moon trying to join in surreptitiously to add his voice to the recording, something the rest of the band disliked.

[doctorzaius77]

Thanks for this! I'm a big fan and i never imagined that there was a story behind this. Thanks again! :-)

[goulding69]

Thanks a lot Doctorzaius!

A song which I am very fond of

You are truly an artist in this!

TOWNSEND, ENTWISTLE, DALTREY & MOON... Our dear WHO!

[doctorzaius77]

Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it!

[Fruitsalad37]

Whoa! AWESOME!!

[doctorzaius77]

I love fruit salad!!

[ZosoTownshend07]

That was SO cool! How did you do that!

[doctorzaius77]

I knew you would appreciate it! Without internet or phone for three weeks I had some time on my hands. I hate uploading to you tube sometimes because the quality of the picture always goes down. Last Christmas I got "The Amazing Journey: The story of The Who- by The Who" There was 15 second clip of animation and I thought how cool it would be if it was made into a full song. All I did here was editing....lots and lots of editing.
