They started out as two actors and two musicians for the TV show. Their first two albums were played by studio musicians, their third album was all them playing on every instrument.Many artists used studio musicians at the time. In the end, they became a real band. RIP Peter, Davy and Mike
Born in 63, I wasn't long out of my cot, I was brought up listening to this happy-go-lucky innocent music! The summer's just seemed to go longer and warmer! TV series had themes you remember to this day! I seem to remember a DJ saying - make the most of this Golden Era, it won't last forever! How right he was!
It's funny that yall said it sounds like a song you would hear at the end of a school musical, because when i was in the 4th grade, i sang this for the talent show. My dad raised me listening to music of all genres and eras. I'm very thankful for that now because my music listening is very diverse.
Ok geez this is my childhood. Yes that is Davey Jones singing. Peter Tork on piano. Mike Nesmith on guitar. Micky Dolenz on tambourine. They started as a TV show comedy about a band, emulating the crazy success of the Beatles. There is very little musical ability. They were primarily actors. But in the two seasons the show was on, they made an impact on our pop culture. Clothes, hair and some really fun songs. I think I was 7 when this came out but I was enchanted because I had never heard my name used in a song before. Yes, my first name is Jeanne. All but Micky are gone now, with Mike passing just recently in December. Thanks for making me smile this morning. Good memories. ❤️
They were always finding themselves in all sorts of trouble on the show. It was crazy. They did start performing their self and had some really good songs. Just pull up a list and take a listen. Great video and memories!!
@@sherryarflin726 Yes, I mentioned their songs. But they started as a spoof and became famous for their antics. Good songs but their slap stick was priceless.
Me too 😂 we got lucky born in 79 so able to bridge 🌉 old and new that's what I mean by lucky my grandma/ Nana used to play big band stuff from the 40s 50s and 60s and my pops with all the 60s 70s and mature artist of the 80s and me experiencing the actual emergence of hip hop in the Early 80s and the electric English pop in the 80s the rock and transfer to grunge and alternative 90s rock House music to techno and trance music up till now the r&b best decades man lucky
The singer is Davie Jones & his English the rest of band are American. They were so popular in the 60's. I fact they took the # 1 spot and knocked off the Beatles song. They had a TV show also. It was comedy. These guys are great
I am so glad went to see the Monkees for their 50th Anniversary tour in Vancouver, BC, Canada in2016 !! So sad Davy passed in 2012, but Mickey and Peter were so awesome!! Peter passed in 2019 and Michael Nesmith in 2021. 😢 Mickey is still with us !! Mickey was and always will be my favorite Monkee!! Loved him since I was young! ❤
The singer Davy was in the Broadway musical Oliver and played the Artful Dodger. He performed on the Ed Sullivan show the same night as The Beatles for the first time. He was the first actor picked to be in the TV show The Monkees.
I installed a satellite dish for the late John Stewart. John Stewart wrote "Daydream Believer" He was a member of The Kingston Trio (Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley.) As I walked upstairs with Mr Stewart during the install, I passed numerous Gold records hanging on the walls. There, framed in the original frame, was the Gold Record for "Daydream Believer". I commented to Mr. Stewart about that song, and my growing up with The Monkees. He chuckled to himself, pointed at the record, and said "that song bought me a few houses." One of my cherished memories to this day. RIP John Stewart. Check out his song with Stevie Nicks. Gold.
Although an American band, Davy Jones singing here is English. Fun fact, David Bowie real name is David Jones, he changed his surname to Bowie to avoid any confusion between the 2 singers
The Monkees were a band who came from the streets of Brighton. They were in a mod gang together, but performed in a local pub. Although originally a barbershop quartet, they became a rock band and are credited with inventing thrash music.
I am sure I would not like ThAT Monkees group. Are you sure that was their name? The famous Monkees are all American except for Davy Jones, who was from Manchester, England.
I wasn't even born but OMG when I first watched them as a kid was MY FAVORITE TV SHOW!!!! Back then they were HUGE!!! ---------- HOW THEY GOT THEIR NAME ---------Raybert had their four musicians, but they were lacking one important detail-a name for the band. Some possibilities tossed around: the Creeps, the Turtles, and the Inevitables. Then Schneider suggested taking a cue from how the Beatles had misspelled “beetles,” and he turned “monkeys” into Monkees.
I came home from school in '84 Atlanta expecting to see Underdog. Instead I saw what looked like 4 Beatle wannabes and continued to watch. It was Episode 1 and after watching Davy's sword fight to "The Girl That I Knew Somewhere", I was instantly hooked for life. From then on, I ran as fast as I could from my bus stop to see the Monkees on TV.
They Davy Dance. Most of us young girls crushed on Davy Jones so bad. 😁 Davy's voice type was really popular in the 60's and early 70's. To see another example I suggest *Donny Osmond* singing *Puppy Love* or *Twelfth of Never* in the early 70's. Donny and Michael Jackson were friends and contemporaries. Both were about 13 around that time and became super popular because they both had great voices and were so cute. I was a fan of both but Donny and Davy were my biggest crushes after Elvis. Elvis was always my number 1 crush.
Micky Dolenz, on tambourine in this video, was a child actor. His first job was in 1956 in a tv series called "Circus Boy." He used the name Micky Braddock. He worked on and off all through his childhood, and was hired for the Monkees while he was in college. While it's true that he didn't learn to drum until The Monkees, In the early 60s he had his own rock band, Micky and the All Nighters, in which he was the lead singer. I was a freshman in college when The Monkees premiered. We would all hit the common room every week to watch it -- the studying coud wait!
Nice one guys. Formed in 1966 I think by Universal Studios for a TV show too compete with The Beatles and Beatlemania to cash in on the phenomenon. These 4 we're chosen out over 1,000 young guys who auditioned for the parts. These 4 didn't know one another but jelled immediately. They turned out to pretty damn good. Their first two albums they weren't allowed to play any instruments on the records. Guitarist Mike Nesmith was a very accomplished guitarist and Peter Tork was also an accomplished keyboard, guitarist and even played banjo. Mickey Dolenz quickly became an adequate drummer. Davey Jones was the main lead singer and as you could guess was a total chick magnet, the went crazy over this guy. Nesmith was a very good songwriter and wrote a few that he sang and were hits. Drummer Mickey Dolenz also sang a lot of leaf vocals. The TV show The Monkees. was an instant success and a huge hit and as an 8 and 9 year old was a must watch for me. In America The Beatles were known as The Fab Four and when The Monkees hit they were often called the pre-fab four because they weren't a real band. Everything worked out fine though because they became a real band and by 67 they played their instruments on their records and doing live tours and selling out arenas and the girls went crazy just as with The Beatles. John Lennon enjoyed the TV show so much that The Monkees got to meet The Beatles in 1967 and even got to hang in the studio with them a little while The Beatles were recording their masterpiece album, "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" I think that Mike Nesmith went to India to meditate with The Beatles in 1968. Don't quote me on that though, I'd have to check. I know that Mike Love of The Beach Boys and singer, songwriter Donavon were there for sure. Yeah, The Monkees far exceeded what people thought of them when they came into our lives in 1967.The Monkees were pretty damn cool and had a lot of big hits. Sadly, Davey Jones passed from a by heart attack in 2012, Peter York in 2019 and Mike Nesmith passed right before Christmas this past year. Mickey Dolenz is the only one left now. Is it Kris? Look at Davey Jones young lady and tell me that you would not have been ga ga over him if you were a teenager girl back in the day. Hell, I'm a guy and straight but I may have had a man crush on him if I were a teen back then. 👌☮️✌️💕
This is a pretty good summary! If Mike did go to India with the Beatles, wow! I didn't know that! Now I'm going to have to look that up, too! lol Seriously, you gave a lot of good details here. I hope they read this! 💖
I like The Monkees better than the Beatles. IDGAF who knows lol. Micky is my favorite and he's the only one left. They had a wacky TV show that was before my time but I watched it as a tween. I think Mtv used to play it. "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone" is my favorite song of theirs.
It actually sounded better in it's original form. It's still this recording but in the late 80s they overdubbed the drums but overdid it a bit. The 1st season of The Monkees was as entertaining as it gets. Davy Jones was the original Justin Bieber. He was a guest on the Scooby Doo movies of the 70s and had the most famous cameo in TV history on the Brady Bunch.
The Monkees were big in the mid 60s, and I mean on tv, on the radio, with whites with blacks. They were popular. Do some more, I'm a Believer, Last Train to Clarksville are both nice. They capitalized on the invasion of rock bands from England in the 60s. Their show ran for a few years. Great reaction, Peace.
The Monkees weren't even a "real" band - they were portraying a band on a weekly show! However, they had a ton of songs that were released on albums and outsold The Beatles at one time as well! Try Last Train To Clarksville, A Little Bit You, A little Bit Me,
They ended up learniing within 6 months Nesmith wrote different drum for Ronstadt and the stone ponys in 62 Peter tork player with David Crosby of Crosby stills Nash before he joined them saw. Them and met Davy excellent musicians Micky jammed on drums
@@nelsonmaud1 Nesmith didn't write Different Drum for Linda. Stone Poneys 1967 version was a cover. The original was 1966, by The Greenbriar Boys (didn't chart).
Maybe not a real group at the start BUT their real voices are on every song and right from the beginning. Both Davy Jones and Mickey Dolenz had pretty good voices. Plenty of artists today can only sing or just rap and not even able to sing.
Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork were both musicians. Mickey Dolenz was a TV actor and singer and Davey Jones was a theatrical actor and singer. Mickey learned to play the drums, Davey never really played any instruments though.
Awww this one makes me sad. Only one Monkee left now:(. Fun little group that was huge with the kids in the day. I remember the reruns. Silly stupid fun was what their show was about. But they actually did have talent. Kind of a rough history through the years.
Youngsters. I just want to say with this one. Waking up this morning and you having the Monkey's songs brought uncontrollably tears to my eyes. You say your NANA. I had My Ainty. I was 4 years old and use to watch their TV Show in My Ainty's basement. Thank you so much for reminding me of her.
The one with the guitar, Michael Nesmith, later did a music video called Elephant Parts in 1981 which is a collection of comedy skits and music videos. Elephant Parts won the first Grammy in the Music Video category. There are comedy commercials. e.g. Elvis Drugs and Neighborhood Nuclear Superiority. Comedy drama shorts e.g. Rock n Roll Hospital. also there is the pirate alphabet. There are shorts you can find on TH-cam. Micheal inherited money from his mom who invented Whiteout. He died just a few months ago in Dec.
I was born in the 81... but trust me.. I grew up with 50's through 80's music all at the same time.. and the Monkees were awesome! They had a tv show I would watch growing up... those 4 guys are all Hilarious.. their show was hilarious ( Show was called - The Monkee's) Was a hit show!! VERY FUNNY!
Davy Jones is the one singing. He was a tenor which is definitely in the higher range of male voices, he’s also British which gives him a unique sound.
After his homecoming triumph at Monterey Pop in 1967, Jimi Hendrix was booked as the opening act for the Monkees, several of whom were fans, but his wild, often overtly sexual stage antics horrified mothers and probably disturbed their daughters who saw Davy Jones as an extension of their teddy bears. A rumor was concocted that the Daughters of the American Revolution had him kicked off the tour, saving everyone face. Lol. Lead vocal in this one Davy Jones was from English musical theater, having starred in 'Oliver!', the Tony-winning musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' 'Oliver Twist' as the Artful Dodger in London AND on Broadway. Peter Tork, on piano here, most often seen on bass, was a multi-instrumentalist, folkie and friend of Stephen Stills(Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young) from Greenwich Village days. Saw him in a small-ish club in Toronto in 1983 playing a solo acoustic set, got his autograph and best-wishes on my script which mentioned his name among a litany of "agents of (positive) mutation" or mutagens. Gave him a copy too. Mickey Dolenz, here tambourine, usually drums and many or most of the lead vocals had been a child actor. Mike Nesmith, here and usually guitar had been an aspiring musician, taking up guitar after leaving the army. His mother invented the typewriter correction fluid Liquid Paper when he was 13, which she built into an international company over 25 years and sold for $48 million in 1979, dying a few months later at 56. He was an award-winning pioneer of music videos. Check out their movie 'Head', co-written by actor Jack Nicholson, which mocks their "manufactured" reputation. See 'The Porpoise Song', written by famed team Gerry Goffin and Carole King. Trippy af. ;>D th-cam.com/video/4fQ85VjQhDA/w-d-xo.html
Davy does not sound like a woman. He was a huge heart throb in Australia as well as the USA. I took the day off school to go to the airport to meet them in Melbourne, 1968. You might be interested in watching an episode of The Monkees, television show from the 60s.
The Monkees band were created for a TV show, just like The Partridge Family, where they took artists and actors and put them together to form the group. As mentioned Davy Jones, Peter Tork and recently Mike Nesmith have passed, leaving Micky Dolenz. Well known trivia bits is that Mike Nesmith mother invented 'White Out or Correcting Fluid' that made her wealthy and famous, the product is still used today. Micky Dolenz was a young boy (12yrs) when he began his acting career in a TV Show of the 1950's called Circus Boy. Micky Dolenz played Corky in the show who was adopted by the travelling circus show. the show lasted 2 seasons.
Fun fact: the name of the singer is Dav(e)y or David Jones. There was a guy in England with the same name and lots of ambition so he changed his name to David Bowie🥰!
1966 or 67. This was a made for TV Band. This was a primetime comedy/ music series that was on every week on Tuesday night at 8pm. It was mainly for "Teeny Boppers" around the ages of 7 to 13 years old. That was the target audience it was aimed at. So, it was a little corny, but it was safe and wholesome for the kids to watch. They were actually talented musicians, but a lot of their music was played and written by others. Some of their music was their own and played by them. The guys hated that the TV Network did that to them. This song was actually a huge hit, and it was played and sang by the Monkees. Three of the four original members have passed away in the last few years. Only Micky Dolenz, the drummer, and vocals is still alive. Very sad. Davey Jones (singing this song) was British, and the others were all American born. Good memories of my childhood in the 1960s.
Some interesting facts about the monkees Davy Jones performed on the Ed Sullivan Show the night The Beatles appeared for the first time in the USA Mike Nesmith's mother invented "Whiteout" or "Tippex" when she worked as a secretary - made herself very rich Micky Dolenz appeared as a child actor in a TV show called "Circus Boy" Neil Diamond wrote "i'm a believer " for the monkees
Davy Jones was playing the Artful Dodger In the Broadway musical "OLIVER" in 1964, so he was singing in a scene from "OLIVER' with the other kids and the female lead character Nancy for the song "I'D DO ANYTHING" That was the same night that the Beatles made their first appearance in America on The Ed Sullivan Show. Watching them from the wings of the stage, Davy had said, I realized that THAT is what I won't to do NEXt (be in a rock band) Besides singing and acting on Broadway and in shows in his native England, he was also a jockey for a time, racing horses in the UK. He was not a tall man. He was the first of the Monkees to pass away. Only Mickey Dolenz (their drummer, but playing the tambourine here) is left. I used to watch him when I was a child on the Saturday morning's children's show "CIRCUS BOY" He had white blonde hair then as a child and went by MICKEY BRADDOCK in 1956.
I was a teenager when their show hit the screen and us teenagers is what made The Monkees what they became. They didn't take themselves too seriously and, so, we didn't either...at least, I didn't. But, it's weird, bc they became really BIG! Mike Nesmith, along with members of The Rollingstones, was present when The Beatles were recording ADAY IN THE LIFE. Didn't even know that back then, until decades later for me (can't keep NOTHING from social media nowadays)! We didn't even know the Beatles knew who the Monkees were. Hilarious!
Davy Jones, the lead singer, was a musical comedy actor in England when he was picked for the Monkees TV show. Drummer Mickey Dolenz was an American TV actor long before this show was put on the air. Circus Boy is one of his old TV shows. Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork were musicians already.
Whoever thinks that the Monkees weren't a real band falls in the category of the "rerun watchers who have all but forgotten." Check out their documentary, where it goes in depth about their Australia tour. The Monkeys were compared to the Beatles in just about every country except America. They were huge. The documentary does a fantastic job of showing how down to earth and smart those guys really were. They were big activist and so humble. Michael Nesmith went on to win a award. I can't exactly remember, but it has something to do with either the first music video or short movie . I can't remember. He was big in the music industry for many years after the Monkeys Era. Yes, they had a cheesy television show, but it was fantastic to us kids at that time. They did a bunch of good for many people and made good wholesome music. I'll still f with them.
Here is the intro/outro to their tv show, see :- th-cam.com/video/jZCPkHCf8O8/w-d-xo.html Davy Jones was originally a child actor here in the U.K., then spent sometime as a jockey before going stateside. Mickey Dolenz was also a child actor, I think most well known for his part in the U.S. tv show, Circus boy. The Monkees tv show episodes are available on TH-cam, fun & good music abound.
Check out their classic tv show of the same name. It will give you a better understanding of who they are. You 2 are quickly becoming one of my favorites. Keep up the great reactions!
I still have the vinyl! Lol. Yeah, I'm older than dirt.The singer, Davy Jones, was a Brit who had solo hits on the stage in big British musicals. He was quite popular, as was the whole band.
I still have all my Monkee albums and also have the newer album, "Pool It" and 45 rpm, "That Was Then This Is Now". I even have Peter and Micky on videotape (taped from MTV or VH-1) doing their music video for that song. I have quite a few "Monkees" tv series episodes that I taped back when MTV had some Monkee marathons!!! They still play great. One of my brothers and I watched the tv series every week during its initial run.
They were the US music industry's answer to the Beattles. ....fact: this guy (Davy Jones) is the reason David Bowie had to change his name from David Jones.
Davy Jones sang lead on this one. Back in the day the girls loved him!!! He passed away almost 10 years ago at the age of 66. May he rest in peace. The only one left is Mickey Dolenz who is in the blue standing on the left side of the piano. Mickey Dolenz sang lead on most of their big hits.
When I think of the 60s, my teen years, I think of garage bands and pop/rock groups who met as kids, like The Beatles, and formed a band. Not The Monkees. They were a corporate creation from the ground up. The "band" didn't write the songs or even play on the records at first. Yet it all worked for a while, and pop classics like this song came out of it.
With all due respect, does it really matter how the Monkees came together? I'm sorry, I can't help but be irritated when the "not a real band" argument comes up. It's been over 50 years. Why does this still matter? Can't we get past how they were "manufactured" and just be grateful that it happened? Can't we just appreciate the music that exists without being so critical of how it came into existence?
the guy singing is davy jones he was english.i have seen footage of a uk 60's music show called ready steady go were acts would perform.one of the presenters spots davy in the audience and talks to him.even though he was famous he would come to dance and enjoy the acts with everyone else and was able to without anyone bothering him. i remeber when i was 6 singing some of the tv theme while doing the special walk from the opeming titles.please do hey hey were the monkees,pleasent valley sunday and last train to clarksville.
The lead singer on this song is Davy Jones. The reason his singing is unique is because he’s originally from England 🏴 so he has that English accent.
The Monkees are my guilty pleasure. These guys are icons even tho it may have started as a TV show, they were all talented musically. Each member sang, so who you see leading depends on the song. I recommend Last Train to Clarksville, Pleasant Valley Sunday and I'd love to see if you recognize I'm a believer. 😉 The TV show was the goofiest, most silly slapstick you can imagine. I remember rushing home from school in the 4th grade and making a bee line for the TV in time for the reruns! 😆
The Monkees was a tv show from the 60s. The actors were hired and the music was supposed to be dubbed. The actors learned instruments and began singing the music themselves. They eventually put out albums and toured
All but Mickey on the tambourine are now gone. Childhood memories ❤✌ Thank-you. They were a bunch of goofballs and loved them and watching their show when I was a kid . It was a take of the Beatles for a comedy/singing show. Listen to their theme song Hey were the Monkees.
Not real group...they were real singers. Learned to play instruments. On their TV show, played silly characters who got into comedy situations. LOVE their music!
Any artist from the eighties will tell you their inspiration came from the legends of the sixties! The sixties is EASILY the best decade in history! For music and television!
They were put together I think the TV series came first and Davy Jones the lead singer in this song was actually from Manchester in the UK, I think the others were from the states, I remember the TV series being shown in the UK, they broke up after a few years, did other things, came back together, and then went their separate ways again, I think Davy stayed in the States for the majority of his life
That singer, David "Davy" Jones used to live in my town in Florida before his sudden death in 2012, about 10 years ago this month. You probably wondering why Davy living in small town. Let me give you a short summary. Davy had a friend named Basil who used to live in a local trailer park. Davy visited Basil when he is in town. Years go by, Davy fallen in love with my town because townspeople treated him like a regular guy not a celebrity. When I was working at a local pub owned by one of my friends, Davy usually stops by for his Pint of Guinness. But at one Saturday evening, my friend had Davy to sing this song with him during Karaoke. At this pub, Saturdays were Karaoke Nights. My friend stated that Davy usually gets paid for this song. Like in this video, Davy sang this song live in front of local audience that night! Then 10 years ago this month on 29th of February, during his riding one of horses, (he was a horse jockey prior to his muisc) Davy experienced chest pains, and rushed to local hospital when he died of a heart attack.
I think we just recently lost Peter Tork, may he R.I.P. The Monkees has a long list of great songs; I'm a Believer, Last Train to Clarksville, Pleasant Valley Sunday, etc.....!
Actually, it was Mike who passed most recently. You're not too far off, though, because we did lose Peter a few years before. It's so sad. At least we still have Micky, though. 😥
Micky's the only one left loved them when when was 10or 11 met Davy in the90s got picture with him saw the on 86 tour they had a big comeback Gary Pickett opened for them Mike helped start country Rock and mtv wrote different drum fore Linda Ronstadt in 62 Peter played with David Crosby before the Monkees outsold the Beatles in 66 because of tv show r i p Davy Mike Peter great talents
As long is it's from season 1. Had my first impression been from season 2 I never would've watched it again. That first season was a really fun and funny show. Extremely unique.
You need to watch the Monkees TV show, ti ndertsatnd what they were about. They were funny, fast paced, the fun songs and sarcasm and weird stuff. It was a kids show really.
They started out as two actors and two musicians for the TV show. Their first two albums were played by studio musicians, their third album was all them playing on every instrument.Many artists used studio musicians at the time. In the end, they became a real band. RIP Peter, Davy and Mike
3 number 1 singles. They should be in the rock n roll hall of fame to be honest.
Both Mike and Davy had albums out before the Monkees. Micky had his own band. Peter was a folk singer. All talented guys whom I love to listen to.
Born in 63, I wasn't long out of my cot, I was brought up listening to this happy-go-lucky innocent music! The summer's just seemed to go longer and warmer! TV series had themes you remember to this day! I seem to remember a DJ saying - make the most of this Golden Era, it won't last forever! How right he was!
It's funny that yall said it sounds like a song you would hear at the end of a school musical, because when i was in the 4th grade, i sang this for the talent show. My dad raised me listening to music of all genres and eras. I'm very thankful for that now because my music listening is very diverse.
Another good Monkees song "Pleasant Valley Sunday".
Ok geez this is my childhood. Yes that is Davey Jones singing. Peter Tork on piano. Mike Nesmith on guitar. Micky Dolenz on tambourine. They started as a TV show comedy about a band, emulating the crazy success of the Beatles. There is very little musical ability. They were primarily actors. But in the two seasons the show was on, they made an impact on our pop culture. Clothes, hair and some really fun songs. I think I was 7 when this came out but I was enchanted because I had never heard my name used in a song before. Yes, my first name is Jeanne. All but Micky are gone now, with Mike passing just recently in December. Thanks for making me smile this morning. Good memories. ❤️
Ok but here's the million dollar question. Are you sleepy?
They were always finding themselves in all sorts of trouble on the show. It was crazy. They did start performing their self and had some really good songs. Just pull up a list and take a listen. Great video and memories!!
@@antoinettelopes LOL. Always daydreaming!
@@sherryarflin726 Yes, I mentioned their songs. But they started as a spoof and became famous for their antics. Good songs but their slap stick was priceless.
@@Mainecoonlady. 😊
I used to watch them after school in the 80’s!!! Love the monkees!!!
Me too 😂 we got lucky born in 79 so able to bridge 🌉 old and new that's what I mean by lucky my grandma/ Nana used to play big band stuff from the 40s 50s and 60s and my pops with all the 60s 70s and mature artist of the 80s and me experiencing the actual emergence of hip hop in the Early 80s and the electric English pop in the 80s the rock and transfer to grunge and alternative 90s rock House music to techno and trance music up till now the r&b best decades man lucky
Hey hey we're the monkeys, people say we monkey around, but we're too busy singing to put anybody down. It's their theme song. 😁
Saturday mornings and Rice Krispies
Those were the days!!!
The singer is Davie Jones & his English the rest of band are American. They were so popular in the 60's. I fact they took the # 1 spot and knocked off the Beatles song. They had a TV show also. It was comedy. These guys are great
That song is just a happy innocent kind of song with a very catch chorus.
I am so glad went to see the Monkees for their 50th Anniversary tour in Vancouver, BC, Canada in2016 !! So sad Davy passed in 2012, but Mickey and Peter were so awesome!! Peter passed in 2019 and Michael Nesmith in 2021. 😢 Mickey is still with us !! Mickey was and always will be my favorite Monkee!! Loved him since I was young! ❤
Classic 60's song. The lead singer on this one, David Jones, passed away 10 years ago today. R.I.P. Davy.
The singer Davy was in the Broadway musical Oliver and played the Artful Dodger. He performed on the Ed Sullivan show the same night as The Beatles for the first time. He was the first actor picked to be in the TV show The Monkees.
I installed a satellite dish for the late John Stewart. John Stewart wrote "Daydream Believer" He was a member of The Kingston Trio (Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley.) As I walked upstairs with Mr Stewart during the install, I passed numerous Gold records hanging on the walls. There, framed in the original frame, was the Gold Record for "Daydream Believer". I commented to Mr. Stewart about that song, and my growing up with The Monkees. He chuckled to himself, pointed at the record, and said "that song bought me a few houses." One of my cherished memories to this day. RIP John Stewart. Check out his song with Stevie Nicks. Gold.
Rock In Peace Peter, Mike and Davy.
Although an American band, Davy Jones singing here is English. Fun fact, David Bowie real name is David Jones, he changed his surname to Bowie to avoid any confusion between the 2 singers
Bowie used his given name for his earliest recordings, as Davy Jones and the Mannish Boys.
"Like an Ending Song" - I am so glad you guys said that cuz it means YOU GET IT.
Was a little girl playing with Barbie’s and watching the monkeys tv show. I still love the monkeys! Great memories 😊
they were actors put together to play musicians for a TV show . they became a big hit. and even rivaled the Beatles ,
The Monkees were a band who came from the streets of Brighton. They were in a mod gang together, but performed in a local pub. Although originally a barbershop quartet, they became a rock band and are credited with inventing thrash music.
That tracks.
I am sure I would not like ThAT Monkees group. Are you sure that was their name? The famous Monkees are all American except for Davy Jones, who was from Manchester, England.
I wasn't even born but OMG when I first watched them as a kid was MY FAVORITE TV SHOW!!!! Back then they were HUGE!!! ---------- HOW THEY GOT THEIR NAME ---------Raybert had their four musicians, but they were lacking one important detail-a name for the band. Some possibilities tossed around: the Creeps, the Turtles, and the Inevitables. Then Schneider suggested taking a cue from how the Beatles had misspelled “beetles,” and he turned “monkeys” into Monkees.
I came home from school in '84 Atlanta expecting to see Underdog. Instead I saw what looked like 4 Beatle wannabes and continued to watch. It was Episode 1 and after watching Davy's sword fight to "The Girl That I Knew Somewhere", I was instantly hooked for life. From then on, I ran as fast as I could from my bus stop to see the Monkees on TV.

They Davy Dance. Most of us young girls crushed on Davy Jones so bad. 😁
Davy's voice type was really popular in the 60's and early 70's. To see another example I suggest *Donny Osmond* singing *Puppy Love* or *Twelfth of Never* in the early 70's. Donny and Michael Jackson were friends and contemporaries. Both were about 13 around that time and became super popular because they both had great voices and were so cute. I was a fan of both but Donny and Davy were my biggest crushes after Elvis. Elvis was always my number 1 crush.
Micky Dolenz, on tambourine in this video, was a child actor. His first job was in 1956 in a tv series called "Circus Boy." He used the name Micky Braddock. He worked on and off all through his childhood, and was hired for the Monkees while he was in college. While it's true that he didn't learn to drum until The Monkees, In the early 60s he had his own rock band, Micky and the All Nighters, in which he was the lead singer. I was a freshman in college when The Monkees premiered. We would all hit the common room every week to watch it -- the studying coud wait!
Nice one guys. Formed in 1966 I think by Universal Studios for a TV show too compete with The Beatles and Beatlemania to cash in on the phenomenon. These 4 we're chosen out over 1,000 young guys who auditioned for the parts. These 4 didn't know one another but jelled immediately. They turned out to pretty damn good. Their first two albums they weren't allowed to play any instruments on the records. Guitarist Mike Nesmith was a very accomplished guitarist and Peter Tork was also an accomplished keyboard, guitarist and even played banjo. Mickey Dolenz quickly became an adequate drummer. Davey Jones was the main lead singer and as you could guess was a total chick magnet, the went crazy over this guy. Nesmith was a very good songwriter and wrote a few that he sang and were hits. Drummer Mickey Dolenz also sang a lot of leaf vocals. The TV show The Monkees. was an instant success and a huge hit and as an 8 and 9 year old was a must watch for me. In America The Beatles were known as The Fab Four and when The Monkees hit they were often called the pre-fab four because they weren't a real band. Everything worked out fine though because they became a real band and by 67 they played their instruments on their records and doing live tours and selling out arenas and the girls went crazy just as with The Beatles. John Lennon enjoyed the TV show so much that The Monkees got to meet The Beatles in 1967 and even got to hang in the studio with them a little while The Beatles were recording their masterpiece album, "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" I think that Mike Nesmith went to India to meditate with The Beatles in 1968. Don't quote me on that though, I'd have to check. I know that Mike Love of The Beach Boys and singer, songwriter Donavon were there for sure. Yeah, The Monkees far exceeded what people thought of them when they came into our lives in 1967.The Monkees were pretty damn cool and had a lot of big hits. Sadly, Davey Jones passed from a by heart attack in 2012, Peter York in 2019 and Mike Nesmith passed right before Christmas this past year. Mickey Dolenz is the only one left now. Is it Kris? Look at Davey Jones young lady and tell me that you would not have been ga ga over him if you were a teenager girl back in the day. Hell, I'm a guy and straight but I may have had a man crush on him if I were a teen back then. 👌☮️✌️💕
This is a pretty good summary! If Mike did go to India with the Beatles, wow! I didn't know that! Now I'm going to have to look that up, too! lol Seriously, you gave a lot of good details here. I hope they read this! 💖
Davy Jones is why David Bowie changed his name (His real name was David Jones) to prevent any confusion
One of the reasons - amazingly- that Davy's voice sounds "unique" is that he was one of the few UK artists who actually sounds British...English, even
I like The Monkees better than the Beatles. IDGAF who knows lol. Micky is my favorite and he's the only one left. They had a wacky TV show that was before my time but I watched it as a tween. I think Mtv used to play it. "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone" is my favorite song of theirs.
Peter Tork lived in my little town in Northern California. He played once in awhile. We were known for our nightlife. Cool guy.
My sister and I loved reruns of the old TV show when we were kids in the 80s. I still occasionally watch clips and episodes on TH-cam.
It actually sounded better in it's original form. It's still this recording but in the late 80s they overdubbed the drums but overdid it a bit. The 1st season of The Monkees was as entertaining as it gets. Davy Jones was the original Justin Bieber. He was a guest on the Scooby Doo movies of the 70s and had the most famous cameo in TV history on the Brady Bunch.
The Monkees were big in the mid 60s, and I mean on tv, on the radio, with whites with blacks. They were popular. Do some more, I'm a Believer, Last Train to Clarksville are both nice. They capitalized on the invasion of rock bands from England in the 60s. Their show ran for a few years. Great reaction, Peace.
The Monkees weren't even a "real" band - they were portraying a band on a weekly show! However, they had a ton of songs that were released on albums and outsold The Beatles at one time as well! Try Last Train To Clarksville, A Little Bit You, A little Bit Me,
They ended up learniing within 6 months Nesmith wrote different drum for Ronstadt and the stone ponys in 62 Peter tork player with David Crosby of Crosby stills Nash before he joined them saw. Them and met Davy excellent musicians Micky jammed on drums
@@nelsonmaud1 Nesmith didn't write Different Drum for Linda. Stone Poneys 1967 version was a cover. The original was 1966, by The Greenbriar Boys (didn't chart).
They didn't start as a real band but they sure became one.
Maybe not a real group at the start BUT their real voices are on every song and right from the beginning. Both Davy Jones and Mickey Dolenz had pretty good voices. Plenty of artists today can only sing or just rap and not even able to sing.
Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork were both musicians. Mickey Dolenz was a TV actor and singer and Davey Jones was a theatrical actor and singer. Mickey learned to play the drums, Davey never really played any instruments though.
❤THE MONKEES❤
Awww this one makes me sad. Only one Monkee left now:(.
Fun little group that was huge with the kids in the day. I remember the reruns. Silly stupid fun was what their show was about. But they actually did have talent. Kind of a rough history through the years.
Youngsters. I just want to say with this one. Waking up this morning and you having the Monkey's songs brought uncontrollably tears to my eyes. You say your NANA. I had My Ainty. I was 4 years old and use to watch their TV Show in My Ainty's basement. Thank you so much for reminding me of her.
The one with the guitar, Michael Nesmith, later did a music video called Elephant Parts in 1981 which is a collection of comedy skits and music videos. Elephant Parts won the first Grammy in the Music Video category. There are comedy commercials. e.g. Elvis Drugs and Neighborhood Nuclear Superiority. Comedy drama shorts e.g. Rock n Roll Hospital. also there is the pirate alphabet. There are shorts you can find on TH-cam. Micheal inherited money from his mom who invented Whiteout. He died just a few months ago in Dec.
The Monkees had a TV show and every episode they would sing a song. I owned all of their albums. 😁❤️
I was born in the 81... but trust me.. I grew up with 50's through 80's music all at the same time.. and the Monkees were awesome! They had a tv show I would watch growing up... those 4 guys are all Hilarious.. their show was hilarious ( Show was called - The Monkee's) Was a hit show!! VERY FUNNY!
Davy Jones is the one singing. He was a tenor which is definitely in the higher range of male voices, he’s also British which gives him a unique sound.
Micky Dolenz was the one with the highest voice. I would call Davy a mid-range tenor, but he could hit some baritone notes square on .
After his homecoming triumph at Monterey Pop in 1967, Jimi Hendrix was booked as the opening act for the Monkees, several of whom were fans, but his wild, often overtly sexual stage antics horrified mothers and probably disturbed their daughters who saw Davy Jones as an extension of their teddy bears. A rumor was concocted that the Daughters of the American Revolution had him kicked off the tour, saving everyone face. Lol.
Lead vocal in this one Davy Jones was from English musical theater, having starred in 'Oliver!', the Tony-winning musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' 'Oliver Twist' as the Artful Dodger in London AND on Broadway. Peter Tork, on piano here, most often seen on bass, was a multi-instrumentalist, folkie and friend of Stephen Stills(Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young) from Greenwich Village days. Saw him in a small-ish club in Toronto in 1983 playing a solo acoustic set, got his autograph and best-wishes on my script which mentioned his name among a litany of "agents of (positive) mutation" or mutagens. Gave him a copy too. Mickey Dolenz, here tambourine, usually drums and many or most of the lead vocals had been a child actor. Mike Nesmith, here and usually guitar had been an aspiring musician, taking up guitar after leaving the army. His mother invented the typewriter correction fluid Liquid Paper when he was 13, which she built into an international company over 25 years and sold for $48 million in 1979, dying a few months later at 56. He was an award-winning pioneer of music videos.
Check out their movie 'Head', co-written by actor Jack Nicholson, which mocks their "manufactured" reputation. See 'The Porpoise Song', written by famed team Gerry Goffin and Carole King. Trippy af. ;>D
th-cam.com/video/4fQ85VjQhDA/w-d-xo.html
They were so big back then that Jimi Hendricks OPENED for them on tour.
Try "Last train to Clarksville" by them. Great song, it's an anti-war song.
The 80s music can't hold a candle to music from the 1960s and 1970s.
You didn't grow up in the 60's and 70's because to us ... THEY are the best ...
I used to listen to music like this with my grandma as a kid. Check out "now I'm a believer".
Davy does not sound like a woman. He was a huge heart throb in Australia as well as the USA. I took the day off school to go to the airport to meet them in Melbourne, 1968.
You might be interested in watching an episode of The Monkees, television show from the 60s.
The Monkees band were created for a TV show, just like The Partridge Family, where they took artists and actors and put them together to form the group. As mentioned Davy Jones, Peter Tork and recently Mike Nesmith have passed, leaving Micky Dolenz.
Well known trivia bits is that Mike Nesmith mother invented 'White Out or Correcting Fluid' that made her wealthy and famous, the product is still used today. Micky Dolenz was a young boy (12yrs) when he began his acting career in a TV Show of the 1950's called Circus Boy. Micky Dolenz played Corky in the show who was adopted by the travelling circus show. the show lasted 2 seasons.
Fun fact: the name of the singer is Dav(e)y or David Jones. There was a guy in England with the same name and lots of ambition so he changed his name to David Bowie🥰!
1966 or 67. This was a made for TV Band. This was a primetime comedy/ music series that was on every week on Tuesday night at 8pm. It was mainly for "Teeny Boppers" around the ages of 7 to 13 years old. That was the target audience it was aimed at. So, it was a little corny, but it was safe and wholesome for the kids to watch. They were actually talented musicians, but a lot of their music was played and written by others. Some of their music was their own and played by them. The guys hated that the TV Network did that to them. This song was actually a huge hit, and it was played and sang by the Monkees. Three of the four original members have passed away in the last few years. Only Micky Dolenz, the drummer, and vocals is still alive. Very sad. Davey Jones (singing this song) was British, and the others were all American born. Good memories of my childhood in the 1960s.
Some interesting facts about the monkees
Davy Jones performed on the Ed Sullivan Show the night The Beatles appeared for the first time in the USA
Mike Nesmith's mother invented "Whiteout" or "Tippex" when she worked as a secretary - made herself very rich
Micky Dolenz appeared as a child actor in a TV show called "Circus Boy"
Neil Diamond wrote "i'm a believer " for the monkees
Davy Jones was playing the Artful Dodger In the Broadway musical "OLIVER" in 1964, so he was singing in a scene from "OLIVER' with the other kids and the female lead character Nancy for the song "I'D DO ANYTHING" That was the same night that the Beatles made their first appearance in America on The Ed Sullivan Show. Watching them from the wings of the stage, Davy had said, I realized that THAT is what I won't to do NEXt (be in a rock band) Besides singing and acting on Broadway and in shows in his native England, he was also a jockey for a time, racing horses in the UK. He was not a tall man. He was the first of the Monkees to pass away. Only Mickey Dolenz (their drummer, but playing the tambourine here) is left. I used to watch him when I was a child on the Saturday morning's children's show "CIRCUS BOY" He had white blonde hair then as a child and went by MICKEY BRADDOCK in 1956.
Play this in any pub in the UK and everyone will sing along :)
The whole Monkees T.V. series was a happy vibe . :-)
The Monkees had a weekly tv show. Musical comedy and all 4 of them had different characters which they are playing out in this song.
I was a teenager when their show hit the screen and us teenagers is what made The Monkees what they became. They didn't take themselves too seriously and, so, we didn't either...at least, I didn't. But, it's weird, bc they became really BIG! Mike Nesmith, along with members of The Rollingstones, was present when The Beatles were recording ADAY IN THE LIFE. Didn't even know that back then, until decades later for me (can't keep NOTHING from social media nowadays)! We didn't even know the Beatles knew who the Monkees were. Hilarious!
Davy Jones, the lead singer, was a musical comedy actor in England when he was picked for the Monkees TV show. Drummer Mickey Dolenz was an American TV actor long before this show was put on the air. Circus Boy is one of his old TV shows. Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork were musicians already.
Whoever thinks that the Monkees weren't a real band falls in the category of the "rerun watchers who have all but forgotten." Check out their documentary, where it goes in depth about their Australia tour. The Monkeys were compared to the Beatles in just about every country except America. They were huge. The documentary does a fantastic job of showing how down to earth and smart those guys really were. They were big activist and so humble. Michael Nesmith went on to win a award. I can't exactly remember, but it has something to do with either the first music video or short movie . I can't remember. He was big in the music industry for many years after the Monkeys Era. Yes, they had a cheesy television show, but it was fantastic to us kids at that time. They did a bunch of good for many people and made good wholesome music. I'll still f with them.
I loved watching this TV show! They are happiness! 😊❤
Here is the intro/outro to their tv show, see :- th-cam.com/video/jZCPkHCf8O8/w-d-xo.html
Davy Jones was originally a child actor here in the U.K., then spent sometime as a jockey before going stateside. Mickey Dolenz was also a child actor, I think most well known for his part in the U.S. tv show, Circus boy. The Monkees tv show episodes are available on TH-cam, fun & good music abound.
As your girl watched Davy sing and dance, I saw a little smile appear on her face, she now knows how all the girls felt back in 1968.
Check out their classic tv show of the same name. It will give you a better understanding of who they are. You 2 are quickly becoming one of my favorites. Keep up the great reactions!
Season 1
I still have the vinyl! Lol. Yeah, I'm older than dirt.The singer, Davy Jones, was a Brit who had solo hits on the stage in big British musicals. He was quite popular, as was the whole band.
I still have all my Monkee albums and also have the newer album, "Pool It" and 45 rpm, "That Was Then This Is Now". I even have Peter and Micky on videotape (taped from MTV or VH-1) doing their music video for that song. I have quite a few "Monkees" tv series episodes that I taped back when MTV had some Monkee marathons!!! They still play great. One of my brothers and I watched the tv series every week during its initial run.
Fun fact - the dude in the beanie, Mike Nesmith created MTV.
Except he is the guitar player. Mickey was the drummer. Mike recently passed.
@@Mr05Chuck yeah I fixed it to dude in the beanie but he's not wearing it in this one 🤦♀️
Doesntgiveaflock, I didn’t know that either. Good grief, what else did I miss?
You should say " white shirt and tie" since he's not wearing the wool hat in the video.
This was my first album. I was in seventh grade. I took it to school and the chicks dug it. Lol
The Monkees was a network TV manufactured group that wasn't supposed to be a real band but they had to fight to play on their records.
I saw them play in grand haven Michigan in the 80's, along with the grass roots. Great performance! Peace from Michigan 🌲
The monkees do play a sing at the end of Shreck. I'm a Believer. Listen to that one.
They were the US music industry's answer to the Beattles. ....fact: this guy (Davy Jones) is the reason David Bowie had to change his name from David Jones.
You need to watch clips from some of their TV shows. They were fabulous.
The tall one in the glasses Mike Nesmith wrote Different Drum/Linda Ronstadt and his mother I believe invented Whiteout.
Davy Jones sang lead on this one. Back in the day the girls loved him!!! He passed away almost 10 years ago at the age of 66. May he rest in peace. The only one left is Mickey Dolenz who is in the blue standing on the left side of the piano. Mickey Dolenz sang lead on most of their big hits.
When I think of the 60s, my teen years, I think of garage bands and pop/rock groups who met as kids, like The Beatles, and formed a band. Not The Monkees. They were a corporate creation from the ground up. The "band" didn't write the songs or even play on the records at first. Yet it all worked for a while, and pop classics like this song came out of it.
They weren't a "corporate creation". they were actors/musicians hired to play a fictitious band for a tv sitcom called "THE MONKEES".
With all due respect, does it really matter how the Monkees came together? I'm sorry, I can't help but be irritated when the "not a real band" argument comes up. It's been over 50 years. Why does this still matter? Can't we get past how they were "manufactured" and just be grateful that it happened? Can't we just appreciate the music that exists without being so critical of how it came into existence?
@@mrandisg what i hate is when stupid people who don't know anything keep referring to 'em as a "boy band".
They were hugely popular. They outsold The Beatles albums twice!
Essa música é sensacional...um clássico dos Monkees....
After The Monkeys came The Partridge Family. Your going way back to my Childhood. 😁😁❤🤘
the guy singing is davy jones he was english.i have seen footage of a uk 60's music show called ready steady go were acts would perform.one of the presenters spots davy in the audience and talks to him.even though he was famous he would come to dance and enjoy the acts with everyone else and was able to without anyone bothering him.
i remeber when i was 6 singing some of the tv theme while doing the special walk from the opeming titles.please do hey hey were the monkees,pleasent valley sunday and last train to clarksville.
he was a child star he played Ena Sharples grandson in Coronation Street :D
@@rubydazzler yes now you've said that I remember I think I saw a clip? It was before my time but I heard that.
I lov you guys so much and especiaallly LOve wen you have your mom on. earth angels!!!
i love that TV show! it was a fun show!
The lead singer on this song is Davy Jones. The reason his singing is unique is because he’s originally from England 🏴 so he has that English accent.
The Monkees are my guilty pleasure. These guys are icons even tho it may have started as a TV show, they were all talented musically. Each member sang, so who you see leading depends on the song. I recommend Last Train to Clarksville, Pleasant Valley Sunday and I'd love to see if you recognize I'm a believer. 😉
The TV show was the goofiest, most silly slapstick you can imagine. I remember rushing home from school in the 4th grade and making a bee line for the TV in time for the reruns! 😆
The Monkees was a tv show from the 60s. The actors were hired and the music was supposed to be dubbed. The actors learned instruments and began singing the music themselves. They eventually put out albums and toured
All but Mickey on the tambourine are now gone. Childhood memories ❤✌ Thank-you. They were a bunch of goofballs and loved them and watching their show when I was a kid . It was a take of the Beatles for a comedy/singing show. Listen to their theme song Hey were the Monkees.
Not real group...they were real singers. Learned to play instruments. On their TV show, played silly characters who got into comedy situations. LOVE their music!
Inspirational for the baby!
Try Love Affair Everlasting Love and Gary Puckett and The Union Gap . Young Girl from 60s two of the best voices around at the time
I agree that the song has a happy vibe! But he’s singing to a sad girl. I think he cheered her up!
Any artist from the eighties will tell you their inspiration came from the legends of the sixties! The sixties is EASILY the best decade in history! For music and television!
Davy Jones is a tenor. That's why he sings in a higher register.
They were put together I think the TV series came first and Davy Jones the lead singer in this song was actually from Manchester in the UK, I think the others were from the states, I remember the TV series being shown in the UK, they broke up after a few years, did other things, came back together, and then went their separate ways again, I think Davy stayed in the States for the majority of his life
That singer, David "Davy" Jones used to live in my town in Florida before his sudden death in 2012, about 10 years ago this month. You probably wondering why Davy living in small town. Let me give you a short summary. Davy had a friend named Basil who used to live in a local trailer park. Davy visited Basil when he is in town. Years go by, Davy fallen in love with my town because townspeople treated him like a regular guy not a celebrity. When I was working at a local pub owned by one of my friends, Davy usually stops by for his Pint of Guinness. But at one Saturday evening, my friend had Davy to sing this song with him during Karaoke. At this pub, Saturdays were Karaoke Nights. My friend stated that Davy usually gets paid for this song. Like in this video, Davy sang this song live in front of local audience that night! Then 10 years ago this month on 29th of February, during his riding one of horses, (he was a horse jockey prior to his muisc) Davy experienced chest pains, and rushed to local hospital when he died of a heart attack.
He was also a child star on TV, he was in Coronation Street.
I think we just recently lost Peter Tork, may he R.I.P. The Monkees has a long list of great songs; I'm a Believer, Last Train to Clarksville, Pleasant Valley Sunday, etc.....!
Actually, it was Mike who passed most recently. You're not too far off, though, because we did lose Peter a few years before. It's so sad. At least we still have Micky, though. 😥
This goes down well at any party, wedding, or sporting event in Britain.
So do most British women.
Use to watch every Saturday morning. I was in love with Davy & Mickey. 🍌
Did you really hear this song for the first time?
guys, buy yourself a radio, you don't know what you're missing
Micky's the only one left loved them when when was 10or 11 met Davy in the90s got picture with him saw the on 86 tour they had a big comeback Gary Pickett opened for them Mike helped start country Rock and mtv wrote different drum fore Linda Ronstadt in 62 Peter played with David Crosby before the Monkees outsold the Beatles in 66 because of tv show r i p Davy Mike Peter great talents
2022 I still cry & love it.Lyrics?🤧🤧🤧🤧Shakes me.
Best way to find out about the Monkees is to pull up a couple of their tv shows on youtube and watch. Love the Monkees never missed a show. Enjoy
As long is it's from season 1. Had my first impression been from season 2 I never would've watched it again. That first season was a really fun and funny show. Extremely unique.
I think this was on Sat morning cartoons for awhile. At least that's what I seem to remember, along with Scooby-Doo and Bugs Bunny.
You need to watch the Monkees TV show, ti ndertsatnd what they were about. They were funny, fast paced, the fun songs and sarcasm and weird stuff. It was a kids show really.
If you invent sound, you can invent dance to it. There's no rules to that dance. It's your song.
Great idea, the song could end a great movie 🍿
Guys, check out Rod Stewart "Maggie May 1979 TV Live"-- he's one of the best!
Love yalls black outfits- cool !! Good song too !!!
Dig deep into their catalog and not just the hits. Good Clean Fun for example. You'll find they are diverse.
