Pete Townshend - Happy Jack Lyrics

Best thief of all time

Great, now I want cake!

55 year old music video, 15 years before MTV, and to this day wayyyyyy better than half the crap ass music videos out there with all their effects and pomp and circumstance. Such a sublime level of purity. The world was a better place back then.

What created this. "Well, it was 1967 . . ."

a blast from the past great to hear it again thanks

Would love to know who came up with the plot for this video....

I SAW YA!!!!!

best thing about this is keith moon

I saw yah !

This doesnt sound right

This is Savage

Too many Great orig sounding songs by the who ; they rule everybody ,..they rule OVER everybody easy !!

11/02/19 JACKIE BLUE BROUGHT ME HERE NEXT TIME HAS COME ENJOY...

David was here

In this video John Entwistle is the equivalent to George Harrison

They couldn't prevent Jack from being happy.

The british mafia stealing the royal treasure and brutally assaulting the constable (1966 Colorized)

Beğendim seni ahbap

A #1 video

They only had 3 number ones. 2 in Canada 1 on the us Rock chart

Goodbye David

An actual music before MTV or Duran Duran!

*Legion brought me here.*
*THRICE!*
:)

Was waiting patiently throughout the finale for this and just as I thought it wouldn't be used, the final scene came and I both grinned and teared up. Thanks Legion, you were perfect throughout.

what a drummer

this song rules

What pranksters!

Legion!!!!

"David... be a good boy."

How cool. The beginning. The End. They played the very same song, & it fitted so well! 😭
♪L E G I O N♪

"Be a good boy, David."

My beautiful boy

Weabs ruining everything.

@Doctor Cockter h o w

@Bobi You're joking?

@Doctor Cockter nope. Just wanna know what you think weebs have ruined.

Shout hope if Legion brought you here :)

Najam Najam HOPE !!!!!!!!!

“every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end” ;)

Legion brought me BACK here

Probably one of the best who songs ever just don't understand why they don't play on the radio a lot Grinch song

The song that changed my drumming forever.

Break into the office and make a mess of the place? They should not do that!

A true bop

*I S A W Y A*

You knew Legion was going to be a good show when it opened with this.

Fun fact: The “I saw ya!” at the end of the song is a pretty cool story. The drummer who would frequently get banned from the studio whilst his band mates recorded their tracks because he would play pranks causing them to laugh, ruining the tape. Then he would make a game of sneaking back in unnoticed, he was caught during the recording of the track and he vocalist yelled “I saw ya!” as he see’s him

This could really be an early Pink Floyd song, I love it

They're all absolutely nuts😂😂😂

My Cat.

I love you Keith Moon!! 😘

"What's all this then?"

MTV Closet Classics!! : D : ) That was the first time I saw this. Of course that was way back when MTV was worth anything.

Best who song ever ❤️❤️❤️

2019 and here...are you?

I saw ya!

Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man
The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key
So they rode on his head on their furry donkey

The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried and tried and tried
They dropped things on his back
And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied

But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried and tried and tried
They dropped things on his back
And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied

But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

I saw ya!

何かを2回投げては落とし、3回目でちょっと微妙な感じになり、4回目でやっと成功して嬉しそうに笑うダルトリーが可愛い。

The Who showed their collective genius from the start.

At the very end: "I saw ya!" Wait for it!

Daltrey looks like Jacques Dutronc!

0:53 swagger

One of The wHo's best.

This must be one of the first ever music vids .

"Silly girls"?

I saw ya

Keith moon was bonkers

At 1:12, Keith and Pete should have had the safe open, finding it full of money-bags and jewels, but tossed it all aside when they see that John Entwistle found the *real* treasure!

vote keith moon for PRESIDENT !!!

2:04. 'i saw ya!'.

Who is the guy at 0.08 seconds in standing at the far left who wasn't there a few seconds before???????????

if i,m right this was for totp

We lost "Keef" Moon WAAAY too soon. Alcohol + Antabuse poisoning.

That bass riff, amazing

L E G I O N

YEAAAAH
Also, I love The Who

Rider Looko lsugdpeyif

Replace the cake with cocaine and this becomes a true story. Really explains Entwistle's and Moon's excitement as well.

2:03 little easter egg of someone sneaking into the recording studio yelling and getting on the official recording

"I saw you!"

WE NEED THE WHO AS A MOVIE >>>

I was born in the wrong time

I watch very closely..the video..to learn.
Aka JK Hughes. King county.Crown Hill in
Seattle.Viking town is crown hill Seattle.
Lived on the coast 15yrs..or the island back..or isle of man.remember Darius.

I love the who, but this is the worst song on the Whos greatest hits IMO. I listened to that cassette so many times I wore it out lol.

Back away from those kids. Simple.

Did they change something on you, Tank? Was it a Light Horse for you?

Well- adjusted?

666th comment

At the end of the song you can here Pete Townsend saying "I saw ya" because he saw Keith Moon sneaking in to the studio because he wasn't allowed to go in because of his pranks that would make the band laugh..

I saw ya!

I saw ya!!!

My fave tune from the boys.

This used to play on MTV's Closet Classics, back when MTV had anything at all to recommend it.

Is there a more distinctly British song than this?

If I had to pick my top ten favourite bands of all time the Who would only rank about #5. The Beatles, The Stones, Led Zep, Pink Floyd and then the Who. I'm Canadian btw but the Brits have produced the best bands of all time (the US ranks a very close second, The Eagles and the Doors being two of their greatest)

Is not restore!!!!!!!

Anyone came here from the Hummer H2 Commercial?

that is such a cute videosong.

*i saw you*

A rozzer not to be trifled with , so they gave him cake. Thoughtful lads.

its ok little mickeys GOD dont care if you jerk off 😽😽😽°••

Keith moon is absolutely bonkers
