Reactions/Reviews
- "The first video I saw in this fandom STILL sticks in my head whenever I hear it.... Who DOESN'T think Uncle when you hear So Happy Together by the Turtles??"[1]
- "Most frequently, the song lyrics amplify, critique, or parody aspects of the original series, while the images become meaningful in relation both to the song's contents and to the fan community's collective understanding of the aired episodes. When [the vidder] characterizes Illya Kuryakin and Napoleon Solo as "So Happy Together," she is commenting on their representation in Man From UNCLE as well as their portrayal within fan fiction. The song's swinging sixties sound fits well with the series' pop imagery while the lyrics ("You and me, me and you, no matter what they talk about, it had to be") express the effortless partnership of these two "special agents."[2]
