Ford & The Turtles -- Not Happy Together
The song "Happy Together" has successfully annoyed every last American. Now the tune has so bent someone out of shape, they're suing.
The company that owns the rights to the record claims Ford did not have the right to use The Turtles' 1967 hit in a commercial. The sinking motor company had struck a deal to use the words and music from the song in Brazil and Argentina, but the song owner insists Ford violated its Turtle rights.
The suit is for more than $200,000 in damages.
