  • "Happy Jack" is a rock song from British rock band, The Who, released in December 1966 in the UK and peaking at #3. It was their first top forty hit in the USA, released in March 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. This song was first performed by The Who in 1967 and continued to be played until 1970. This was also performed in Townshend's first solo concert in 1974. The most recent performances of this were at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, London on December 22 and 23, 1999.
  • Happy Jack est une chanson du groupe The Who édité en single en 1966 (avec en face B I've Been Away en Angleterre et Whiskey Man aux États-Unis, deux morceaux de John Entwistle sur A Quick One). Le titre a atteint la troisième place des ventes en Angleterre. On retrouve le titre dans de nombreuses compilations, et une version acoustique est présente dans les bonus de l'album A Quick One. Il n'est plus beaucoup joué en live après 1970. Selon Pete Townshend, guitariste et auteur, Happy Jack était un homme que Pete et d'autres enfants s'amusaient à chahuter lors de vacances sur l'Île de Man. Jack prenait pourtant tout avec le sourire. À la fin de la piste, l'on peut entendre distinctement le guitariste crier : "I saw ya !" (« Je t'ai vu ! ») au batteur Keith Moon. Ce dernier, à qui le producteur Kit Lambert avait interdit de chanter les chœurs (sa voix étant peu harmonieuse), faisait là une brève incursion dans le studio d'enregistrement.
