Happy Jack (song)

"Happy Jack" is a rock song from British rock band, The Who, released in December of 1966 in the UK and peaking at #3. It was their first top forty hit in the USA, released in March of 1967 and peaking at #24. It was included on the USA version of their second album. The album was titled A Quick One in the UK and retitled Happy Jack for the USA.

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.

The song is also notable for being used in a Hummer commercial in the early 2000's.
