At the tail end of %22Happy Jack%22, Townshend can be heard shouting %22I saw you!%22, and it is said that he was noticing drummer Keith Moon trying to join in surreptitiously to add his voice to the recording, something the rest of the band disliked.According to some sources, Townshend reported the song is about a man who slept on the beach near where Townshend vacationed as a child. Children on the beach would laugh at the man and once buried him in the sand. However, the man never seemed to mind and only smiled in response." . "817" . "130000.0"^^ . . "Gramophone record" . .
