Don't be sorry! The band is the 5th Dimension. Three word title... Reply #7041. Oct 21 18, 3:53 PM |

Thanks... Staying in the period. This song was a number 1 hit in the US. It contains the word "happy", which originally was meant to be "funky" but the record label did not like that. Reply #7044. Oct 23 18, 3:49 AM |

"You Make Me So Very Happy" by Blood, Sweat and Tears? Reply #7045. Oct 23 18, 1:37 PM |

No, "happy" does not appear in the title of the song, just in the lyrics. But the band was (mainly) American. Two word band name, two word title. Reply #7046. Oct 23 18, 2:25 PM |

That's interesting about the record label changing "funky". Is this song older? Reply #7047. Oct 24 18, 10:12 AM |

Is the singer female? Reply #7049. Oct 25 18, 10:00 AM |

No, the lead singer of the band is male. Actually all 4 members of the band were male, 3 are still alive. Reply #7050. Oct 25 18, 3:49 PM |

And three band members were American, one was English. Reply #7051. Oct 25 18, 3:56 PM |

Was the song a hit or more obscure? Reply #7052. Oct 26 18, 6:42 AM |

As I said, #1 in the US. In the recording, before the song actually starts, there is a bit of banter about #7. Reply #7053. Oct 26 18, 4:43 PM |

Sorry. Is the band The Rascals? The Doors? The Association? I keep running all the clues in my head but everything I come up with doesn't quite fit. Reply #7054. Oct 29 18, 10:03 AM |

No, none of them. The members of this band were chosen. Reply #7055. Oct 30 18, 2:00 PM |

The name of the band sounds like some creatures. Reply #7056. Oct 31 18, 4:50 AM |

Daydream Believer by The Monkees Two-word title, two-word band: check #1 song: check American band: check Released in late sixties: check Sounds like creatures: check Contains the word “happy”: oof… thought I had it. This all applies to “Sugar, Sugar” by The Archies, except the band name and of course “happy.” Not Chicago… couldn’t find a matching song for the Four Tops… The Animals got me excited, but nothing there… The Yardbirds… The Eagles are too late… The Byrds… thought I had it with “Happy Together” by The Turtles, alas, it’s not in the title… I want you to know that I am trying… It’s going to be some obvious song and I’ll feel silly. I can feel it! Reply #7057. Nov 01 18, 12:02 PM |

Daydream Believer is correct! The word "funky" in the original lyrics was changed to "happy". Good job, then, Jen. Your turn now. Reply #7058. Nov 01 18, 2:19 PM |

Oh good! Thank you! Now you know how funky I can be... haha, silly changes. This song came out in 1968. The band is English and the album it's from is on Rolling Stones "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". Reply #7059. Nov 01 18, 2:55 PM |

Must have forgotten to hit "post"... wanted to ask whether it is Crossroads on Wheels of Fire by Cream? Reply #7060. Nov 04 18, 2:02 PM |
