Howard Kaylan of the Turtles blasts RNC, Melania Trump
The Turtles didn’t like G.E. Smith doing a cover of “Happy Together” at the Republican convention. First Howard Kaylan consulted with lawyers.
We never approved this use.
Now we call the lawyers

That led to a slap Mrs. Trump.
I was annoyed. And I did call lawyers
There is no legal recourse for covers
Not like Mrs. Trump outright theft. https://t.co/Yln1iKRdlQ— Howard Kaylan (@howardkaylan) July 19, 2016

HAHAHAHAHAHAH. The singer was upset because his dog left him.
I would be too.

best version of that song was a live rendition on the Filmore Live album when Howard Kaylan and fellow ex-Turtle Mark Volman had a brief stint as lead singers for Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention.
c’mon everybody sing along, just like a big rock show….

Ethical politicians contact the artist who owns the rights to the songs before using them at rallies and conventions.
And then there’s Donald …

Don’t forget Huckabee who is $25 grand light in the pocket

Howard, please let trump use your other great song.
Goes like;
Go lightly from the ledge, babe
Go lightly on the ground
I’m not the one you want, babe
I’ll only lead your down

I kinda like how well this fits, too:
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I did get a good chuckle out of them playing that song when the RNC started up.
Then I was like “What’s the SNL guy doing at the RNC?!?”
Then later, as things quickly devolved into chaos, I chuckled again thinking of them singing “so happy together”.
Good times.

I don’t like that they appropriate such a pleasant tune to spread hate… and I don’t like GE Smith, either. Came off as a self-centered pompous ass.
Roctuna July 20th, 2016 at 19:12
That’s because he is a self-centered pompous ass.

That WOULD explain it, wouldn’t it?
