| dbo:abstract | «Happy Jack» es una canción de la banda de rock The Who, publicada en diciembre de 1966, alcanzó el lugar #3 en las listas musicales del Reino Unido y el puesto #24 en los Estados Unidos en marzo de 1967, siendo su primer hit dentro de los "top 40" en aquel país. Fue incluida en la versión estadounidense de su segundo trabajo. El álbum se tituló A Quick One en el Reino Unido y Happy Jack en los Estados Unidos. (es) "Happy Jack" is a song by the British rock band the Who. It was released as a single in December 1966 in the United Kingdom, peaking at No. 3 in the charts. It peaked at No. 1 in Canada. It was also their first top 40 hit in the United States, where it was released in March 1967 and peaked at No. 24. It was included on the American version of their second album, Happy Jack, originally titled A Quick One in the UK. The song features Roger Daltrey sharing lead vocals with John Entwistle and Pete Townshend. At the tail end of "Happy Jack", Townshend can be heard shouting "I saw you!"; it is said that he had noticed drummer Keith Moon trying to join in surreptitiously to add his voice to the recording, something the rest of the band would try to prevent (Moon had a habit of making the other members laugh). Rolling Stone critic Dave Marsh calls this line "the hippest thing" about the song. According to some sources, Townshend reported the song is about a man who slept on the beach near where Townshend vacationed as a child. Children on the beach would laugh at the man and once buried him in the sand. However, the man never seemed to mind and only smiled in response. According to Marsh, "the lyric is basically a fairy tale, not surprisingly, given the links to Pete's childhood". Greg Littmann interprets the song as a possible reaction to alienation, as Jack allows "the cruelty of other people [to] slide off his back". Despite its chart success, Who biographer Greg Atkins describes the song as being the band's weakest single to that point. Daltrey reportedly thought the song sounded like a "German oompah song". But Chris Charlesworth praised the "high harmonies, quirky subject matter" and "fat bass and drums that suspend belief". Charlesworth particularly praised Moon's drumming for carrying not just the beat, but also the melody itself, in what he calls "startlingly original fashion". Marsh states that although the song contained little that the band had not done before, it did "what the band did well", giving the "soaring harmonies, enormously fat bass notes, thunderous drumming" and the guitar riffs as examples. According to Pete Townshend’s autobiography, "Happy Jack" is Paul McCartney’s favourite Who song. (en) Happy Jack est une chanson du groupe The Who, composée et écrite par Peter Townshend et éditée en single en 1966 avec en face B I've Been Away en Angleterre et Whiskey Man aux États-Unis, deux chansons de John Entwistle sur A Quick One. Le titre a atteint la troisième place des ventes en Angleterre. Le titre a été inclus dans l'édition américaine de l'album A Quick One à la place de Heat Wave en mai 1967. C'est d'ailleurs ce titre qui donnera le nom à la version américaine de cet album nommé donc Happy Jack (A Quick One ayant une allusion trop sexuelle pour le marché américain). On retrouve le titre dans de nombreuses compilations, certains enregistrements live et une version acoustique est présente dans les bonus de l'album A Quick One, réédité en 1995. La chanson ne fut plus beaucoup joué en live après 1970. (fr) 「ハッピー・ジャック」（Happy Jack）は、イギリスのロックバンド、ザ・フーの楽曲。1966年にシングルリリースされた。作詞・作曲はピート・タウンゼント。 (ja) Happy Jack è il nono singolo del gruppo rock britannico The Who pubblicato in Gran Bretagna nel 1966; venne pubblicato anche negli USA nel 1967, in una diversa versione e con un diverso lato B. (it) är även namnet på ett mindre samhälle i Arizona, USA. Happy Jack är en låt skriven av Pete Townshend och lanserad som vinylsingel av rockgruppen The Who i december 1966. Låten blev en framgång i stora delar av Europa och blev deras första egentliga hit i USA våren 1967. Eftersom "Happy Jack" varit framgångsrik i USA gavs gruppens andra album A Quick One ut med titeln Happy Jack där. Låtens inledande vers sjungs av basisten John Entwistle, medan resten av den sjungs av Roger Daltrey. Låttexten handlar om en ung man vid namn Jack som trakasseras av en hop barn, men inte går att få på dåligt humör. I slutet av låten kan man höra Townshend ropa "-I saw you!" (-Jag såg dig!) vilket tros ha varit riktat med Keith Moon som ska ha försökt smyga in i studion under sånginspelningen. Låten framfördes flitigt av The Who under konserter sent 1960-tal, men senare spelades den bara sporadiskt. (sv) |
