* ItWillNeverCatchOn: This was actually the stock reaction that many other artists gave the song "Happy Together" before it was brought to the attention of The Turtles. In fact, so many artists had turned down "Happy Together", that by the time songwriters Garry Bonner and Alan Gordon offered it to The Turtles, the demo acetate was practically worn out.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: The whole reason why Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman used the names Flo and Eddie when they joined up with Music/FrankZappa was because White Whale Records, The Turtles' former record company, contractually forbade the two men from using the Turtles' name, as well as their own names, in a musical context.

By the time they got those rights back, they had established themselves as Flo and Eddie and decided they didn't want to lose the cool points that they had gained from their work with Music/FrankZappa under those names to go back to their own, so they continue to use those aliases in conjunction with The Turtles name to the present day.
