"She'd Rather Be With Me" reached number 3 on the US charts in late spring and actually out-charted "Happy Together" overseas, reaching # 4 in the UK. Two successive top-15 songs followed: "You Know What I Mean" and "She's My Girl." Both 45s signaled a certain shift in the band’s style. Golden Hits was released later that year, charting in the top 10. The similar album covers for The Turtles!

Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So Happy Together
If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together
I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When your with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life
Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together
If i should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me(ease my mind), and ease my mind
Imagine how the would could be(very fine), so very fine
So Happy together
