ending spoken word

Er... it's says what Pete said in the intro.Andrew G. Doe (talk) 20:17, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm disapponted that there's no discussion as to what this song is about. Who is Happy Jack? A person or a donkey? What is the point of singing a song about this person/animal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.223.17.82 (talk) 09:49, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Have you actually read the article? Have you actually listened to the song/ watched the video? I saw ya. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:41, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could they have ripped off a more ridiculous song? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.151.145.76 (talk) 03:21, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In my view "Happy Jack" has about as much similarity to "Itsy Bitsy" as Beethoven's 5th has to "Ace of Spades" by Motörhead. But then, I'm not WP:RS. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:45, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Commercial

What's controversial about it? Also, the description "endearing" seems a bit opinionative. AmericanLeMans (talk) 02:07, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

composition

I'd love to read more about the composition of the song. There are some quirky rhythmic things going on. PurpleChez (talk) 21:32, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

one of the few etc

Lots of unsourced statements here but probably best to source them rather than simply remove.

I've rephrased one of the only... to one of the few..., it seems a more logical way of saying exactly the same thing. But that's a case in point, as it stands it's original research but it's accurate, interesting and uncontroversial... encyclopedic in every way. We just need an inline citation to support it.

H2 Commercial

This song was also featured in one of the debut commercials^[1] for the new Hummer H2. It was a good commercial, btw. I think the first time that I heard this song. Mcanadian (talk) 20:18, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cover art

That looks like the cover for an EP, not for a (2-song) single. (The Who discography lists only 4 EPs, and not this one.) Acwilson9 (talk) 21:25, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that it was indeed an EP, but only released in a few countries like Israel.Doctorhawkes (talk) 02:37, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
