The Turtles, who had come from commercial and personal problems, found the demo and, thinking the song as a potential hit, initially rehearsed it in live performances. At the same time, Bonner and Gordon also heard very positive feedback on the demo from their contemporaries. The demo was offered and rejected by a dozen artists, due to its primitive sound. A session musician, who also claimed to have played on it, states that it was more well recorded. The second demo was produced by Ritchie Adams. They recorded two demos, one comprised a simple arrangement of acoustic guitar and handclaps, along with a second demo with more instruments, recorded at Regent Sound in New York City. The lyrics, despite the joyous sound of the music, express an unrequited, imagined love. Later as members of The Magicians, a New York City-based Rock & Roll group, Bonner and Gordon composed the rest of the song. The initial idea for "Happy Together" came to Alan Gordon at a candy store in Brooklyn, New York. It was later included on their third studio album, Happy Together (1967).
