For those less familiar with the Monkees, this was actually Michael Nesmith singing. Mickey Dolenz had a higher vocal than Michael, and I believe your comment is referencing Mickey talking to Michael at the very end of the video. Yep, Mickey's voice is still the same! Great hearing Christmas music from the Monkees nevertheless!
@@64ikon Yeah, Micky Dolenz and David Jones were the tenors in the Monkees. While Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork were the baritones. Though Michael did occasionally sing songs with a tenor register. I wouldn't say that Micky sounds the same as he did back in the 60's. Don't get me wrong, his vocal still sounds amazing. Though it has undoubtedly been affected by age. Although I think the way he sings might have something to do with it. Since Micky's overall singing style did change in late 1967 - early 1968. Which is evident when you compare songs like 'Randy Scouse Git (Alternate Title)' to songs like 'Shake 'Em Up (and Let 'Em Roll)'. Peter is probably the Monkee whose singing voice changed the least in my opinion. Though it's not always easy to tell since there aren't a lot of songs where he sang lead.
52 years after they burst on the music scene and they are still making great music. Who the hell knew that the Monkees would be relevant all these years later, even short a member? It speaks volumes about their lasting legacy.
So well said,Paul and I'll respond to your question. Is because despite their detractors back then, The Monkees proved to be not only talented but relevant to the era as of today.
@@JezlynneVauga You like the Monkees but don't like this? Something doesn't compute. I agree that Riu Chiu is their best Christmas song but nearly all the tracks on their Christmas Party album are fantastic too.
I watch this every year, several times. It was poignant whilst Mike was still with us, even more so now. Hope Mickey is well. Rest well Mike, Peter and Davy xx
Completely blown away by this. Wasn't aware of the album not a huge fan of Christmas music but was amazed and the fact that Mike sings on it makes it all that much better.
@@JadenYukifan28 I'm still in doubt, as he sounds like him when he's singing (albeit much older) but the voice? It's amazing how Micky can still sound like he does. Did you read Papa Nez's autobiography btw? I really enjoyed it.
Love the Monkees, they've been adding joy to the world for more than a half century! Can't wait to get Christmas Party on vinyl and see Mike & Micky live in 2020!
Aw, super sweet! I hope the Monkees know how happy they still make people. Love, love, love this animation. I've been listening to this Christmas "album" non-stop in my car while I holiday shop. 🎅🏼
This version is a lot more listenable than the Michael Buble version which totally gets so overplayed every Christmas season. It's so good to heat Papa Nez sing this one. Fantastic rendition! Thanks for posting this!
@The Monkees Archives What I get for typing while barely awake, but one can understand my confusion, given how they all looked around it. No need to get stroppy.
love the monkees then ,now and forever.thank,s for the christman album. this year i had a very merry christman watch them on tv and play there music all day RIP davy they were brother toghter to make the world shine with peace and love. god is good all the time. bless the monkees.
Awesome video,; the Nesmiths (Mike,, Christian & Circe Link, and Jonathan) have made us all proud to be Monkees fans! Great hearing Micky and Mike intro and outro , loved the animation. Mike sang this Christmas classic great and the music and production is amazing. The whole Christmas Party CD is worth getting if you haven't checked it out yet.
Its soo wonderful to have you all back again! Im in tears bc of the beautiful song and seeing Davey dancing again! Ive been a fan for 20+ yrs and Im soo excited to see what comes next💖
Davy Jones and Michael Nesmith are Ace of Hearts 💞 Happy Birthday 🎂 to Davy Jones and Michael Nesmith REST IN POWER and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁🎅🤶⛄♾️✝️🌟🕊️☮️ Blessings and Hugs 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
March 5th, 2019 7:31am Love you guys! Watched you in the 60s as a kid! Thank you for all the music! All the fun! Miss you Davy and Peter :( Thank you Mike and Micky for keeping on!
Maybe I'm projecting, but this is the most wistful music video I've seen in quite awhile. I feel like I'm watching memories within dreams within memories, with ghosts making cameo appearances at each stage. As a lifelong Monkees fan I feel like it's not so much reminiscent as it is a reflection on reminiscence. Jonathan Nesmith & Susan Holloway have done a masterful job. (The Monkeemobile's a nice touch!) This whole new album is a wonderful gift to fans. Merry Christmas & much love to The Monkees & everyone else involved!

Instablaster.
Rest peacefully Mike, Peter and Davy. Best wishes Mickey. Absolute legends.
Another Legend gone, but not forgotten. RIP, Mike Nesmith. Thank you for many years of great music and so many laughs.
I actually got to meet Michael Nesmith a couple of months back. He’s a super nice, humble guy.
He was born the exact year, month, and day of my dad...
Wait a second
Nice but I’m sure he wouldn’t want people knowing that about him!
RIP😭
He's the only one of the Monkees I never got to meet.
This made me smile... Monkee fan since 1986 😊
Yes1 MTV?
Oh Michael Nesmith singing... 🎀❤️ Melts my heart. Aren't the graphics wonderful!!!
Lol I love how Mickey's voice hasnt changed at all. This is adorable animation, and beautifully sang! I love it!

Mike's voice still sounding dreamy....
RIP Peter. I think that he and Davy are grooving right now!!
52 years after they burst on the music scene and they are still making great music. Who the hell knew that the Monkees would be relevant all these years later, even short a member?
It speaks volumes about their lasting legacy.
As I have written else where, TIME has been so good to the Monkees. No other band/tv show/art project... whatever they are can claim that.
So well said,Paul and I'll respond to your question. Is because despite their detractors back then, The Monkees proved to be not only talented but relevant to the era as of today.
Did you even watch it? This is not relevant to the monkees almost at all
You want a good monkees christmas song it's riu chiu, not this garbage.
@@JezlynneVauga You like the Monkees but don't like this? Something doesn't compute. I agree that Riu Chiu is their best Christmas song but nearly all the tracks on their Christmas Party album are fantastic too.
I have always and will always love the Monkees!
So love this!!! Well done guys!!!! It's not Christmas without the Monkees.
AND aNDY wILLIAMS !!!
Wow trippy! And dialog to boot!! Kudos long live the MONKEES!!
Micheal sang this beautifully. R.I.P Mike thank you for the wonderful music.
Psychedelic fun with the boys.I am 52.Thank the Lord for The Monkees.Merry Christ Mass everyone.Love and peace to all.Michael ...some voice...Da iawn.
The '60's was a great time to be a kid. Merry Christmas to all.
Micheal sounds great doing this song.
I watch this every year, several times. It was poignant whilst Mike was still with us, even more so now. Hope Mickey is well. Rest well Mike, Peter and Davy xx
I'm in love with this it's not even Christmas but I'm listening to it again
BRO IM SOBBING I JUST LOVE THEM SM
What a cool Holiday ride with the Monkees.
Jonathan and Susan knocked this out of the park!!!!
Thanks for letting us join you on this Monkees Christmas ride! Wonderful rendition of a classic, Nez. Thanks for making my spirits bright!
Completely blown away by this. Wasn't aware of the album not a huge fan of Christmas music but was amazed and the fact that Mike sings on it makes it all that much better.
Love the spoken introduction by Mick and Mike!
I almost didn't recognize Mike's voice!!
@@JadenYukifan28 Same, I didn't even think it was him at first.
@@JackRascal Same here, I mean the video has them looking like their younger selves and "hearing" Papa Nez's voice kinda threw me off
@@JadenYukifan28 I'm still in doubt, as he sounds like him when he's singing (albeit much older) but the voice? It's amazing how Micky can still sound like he does.
Did you read Papa Nez's autobiography btw? I really enjoyed it.
@@JackRascal No, I haven't and you have a point there, even if it sounds deeper, it still is Micky's voice
i was wondering how i had been a fan for 50 years and never heard this, but wait? Its New??? AWESOME~~ Great job!
Love the Monkees, they've been adding joy to the world for more than a half century! Can't wait to get Christmas Party on vinyl and see Mike & Micky live in 2020!
Joy to the world- don't think we didn't catch that 😜
Aw, super sweet! I hope the Monkees know how happy they still make people. Love, love, love this animation. I've been listening to this Christmas "album" non-stop in my car while I holiday shop. 🎅🏼

Love the way they have Peter and Davy just behind them, lovely song
Beautiful Nez vocals.
Legends all of them. God speed Mike 🙏🏻

This is definitely the best cover in my opinion
Oh, my gosh, this is so adorable! Even the 33 1/3 part looks great. Nice touch with Mike's Nudie suit, too.
Lovely,beautiful guitar, thank you.
Julie Driscoll's eyeball, complete with epic eyeliner, at 2:45. Love it!

Very nicely done guys, Merry Christmas!
That's a great classic holiday song. 🎅🎄🎁
