It never occurred to me when I was a kid watching this on TV that I would ever be 70 years old and watching it again on a portable phone that fits in my hand.
I keep finding these gems on TH-cam lately. Songs I’ve loved in the past but forgotten about. An old but treasured find in this fast paced, hectic world we live in. ❤🎶😊
This song reminds me of good times when I first started driving and going uptown to hang out. That song had just come out and was playing on all the AM radio stations. There weren’t any FM stations that played music that kids listened to. I never get tired of listening to it.
they may have gained their fame as songwriters and producers, but this song was among the best produced in those rock years. Tommy & Bobby were very underrated as singers !
@@Milesco I didn't see any silly dance moves. I can't say for sure, but I think the person who made that comment was probably being gracious and kind when comparing the slight "dance moves" made during the performance of this song to the ridiculous, vulgar, disgusting garbage we see now. A few wholesome, innocent moves just keeping the beat to the music doesn't even come close to the depravity and evil that many so-called musicians engage in now. And, amazingly enough the gentleman in this video were able to perform their music with all of their clothes on. Those were the good old days. Talent and decency together at the same time. Wonderful!
@UpMyPSI - What I was able to learn was that he had suffered a brain aneurysm that nearly killed him, a year before his death. A friend said he went from this very energetic guy who never stayed in one place very long, to someone who had to stop doing all the things he felt were fun, & that he was never the same after that. It was noted that he felt himself deteriorating & didn't want to accept the role of a sick man or to be seen as a burden. At 55 he was still quite young, & that kind of sudden devastating change would have been a pretty hard pill to swallow. It is also possible that residual brain damage from the bleed altered his brain function, contributing to a decision that, perhaps a healthy brain would not have made.
Great musical talent as performers and prolific songwriters. "According to the Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll, Boyce and Hart wrote more than 300 songs and sold more than 42 million records as a partnership." "It's estimated that Tommy Boyce's solo compositions and collaborative efforts have produced record sales over and above 85 million."
Mike Myers must of watched a lot of old 60 video's for idea's, Austin Powers has a strong resemblance to Peter Asher of the 60's Brit duo Peter & Gordon, check out their video of World without love.
The sound for this song compliments of the brilliant musicians of the Wrecking Crew especially the driving force of the bass played by the great Joe Osborn.
NO WAY!!!! NO Beatles song can EVER compare to the BRILLIANT Michael NESMITH -EVER, SORRY! And the Beatles were so ugly compared to the Monkees who were pure eye candy! Kimberly@@RememberMe123-b4b
@@larrywakeman4371 I know, sarcasm doesn't translate well when you text.... uh, you were being sarcastic, weren't you? Nowadays, you never know, with drugs 'n all. I'm so confused.
I got hooked on this one when it first came out...then I saw them performing on the old original series, Bewitched, and I loved it even more. It is still a good one!
yes, and the song they sang that Sarina didn't write: "I"ll Blow you a kiss in the Wind"...when she made them appear at the Witches Continuum. ( Lol. Some things are never forgotten.- if you recall that song and Wonder what she is doing tonight, have the same melody.💓😇🌷🎶🎵

When we were kids, my brother and I got a reel to reel tape-recorder and had a go at being radio DJs, using whatever came on over the radio as our playlist, and I recall this was our first song.
LOL on the band in the background in nondescript tan, haha, makes them stand out in their bright suede clothes. Loved them back in the day...grew up with this wonderful music!
Bobby Hart grew up in Phoenix, AZ very close to the Arizona State Fairgrounds where the Monkees were to play one of their very first live concerts in 1966 after their first TV season had wrapped up. Boyce and Hart were in awe of the overwhelming crazy reactions by the masses of fans to the live Monkees show- much like on the first Beatles US tour one could barely hear the Monkees over the screaming throngs of teenage girls. This inspired them to want to record on their own as Borye & Hart and perform live on tour because it looked and seemed like so much fun. And so we have this video. Their guest appearance on an episode of Bewitched singing another one of their best songs is another great highlight video. Go search you tube and you shall find and enjoy!
The first time I ever saw them was on a syndicate 'I Dream of Jeannie' tv show...They did act as themselves, but at the time I thought they were just actors until many years later while watching some documentary I found out there were real musicians and song writers. So every time I see or watch them on youtube it takes me back to that I dream of Jeannie episode, lol
I wonder if that is famed guitarist Gerry McGee of the Ventures in this clip. I know Gerry did a lot of things with Boyce and Hart and the early Monkees recordings.
So the "puffy" shirt in the Seinfeld episode came from Boyce and Harts closet!! LOL Love them...dig their sound :) I remember seeing them on Bewitched!
+roughtake they may have been on I Dream of...but they were definable on Bewitched. Serina wrote the song and had them perform it a the witches catilion lol..I have seen the episode many times 😀
+roughtake I have seen the episode many times. The story is about Boyce and Hart...they appear as themselves throughout the episode. I found many clips here on TH-cam to prove my point.
Now this is real music!! The 60's times❤
Can you dig it? The 60’s had it...how many loved the 60’s music!
I love the 60's music! Always have and always will. ✌️❤️✝️✨💝🇺🇲

Corny 70s rock

At least Shirley Jones’s outfits.

Happy Birthday Bobby Hart. He Turns 84 Today.

This song NEVER gets old!!!
You got that Right.
❤️ this super great 1960s song
Yes yes
they may have gained their fame as songwriters and producers, but this song was among the best produced in those rock years. Tommy & Bobby were very underrated as singers !
That's because of the Beatles and the Monkees. They had so much music tied up almost no one else was heard.
Stop! Don't listen to this song, use caution. I recently got this tune stuck in my head for about 3 months. Proceed at your own risk.
Good answer!!
3 months? Try 3 years.
❤️ this super great 1960s song
The first time I heard this it was stuck in my head for two weeks, but I was eight years old with a very short attention span!
Thanks for the warning! I just got rid of The Turtle’s Elenore and Happy Together.
I remember them in an episode on Bewitched!
And I dream of Jeanie
love that part when Tommy says :" alright Bobby , let's go" ....................
Me too🌝
Bobby has a good wingman of a friend..it is very hard not to like this song 👍
My favorite part toooooooooppppp
2:11 Sounds like "Alright Bobby, let's get 'em."
me too lol
This is what I call real music. No computers autotune or even silly dance moves.
This is in my opinions one of the best 60 hits.
Kjelly Lund silly dance moves? U obviously didn't watch them during the middle of the song lol
Uh.... its lip sync... they are miming to a recording.. so it probably is the equivalent of autotune.
Well, this television appearance definitely had its share of silly dance moves, but there's no denying it's a catchy tune!
@@Milesco I don't. It is one of my favourite tunes of the 60's. :) TBH I love things that are silly.

Sad ending for Tommy Boyce. He was sure cute! RIP!
They both are cute
У него такая же судьба как и у Дела Шеннона он тоже застрелился. Но в 1990.
glad i lived through it..
60's 70's
what a trip
Same here
This was my favorite for so long. Listening on my little transistor radio tucked under my pillow so my mom wouldn’t hear.
Boyce & Hart! What an awesome writing and singing duo. RIP Tommy.
That horn section killed it, absolutely killed it.
I still dig this song, and all of "Boyce & Hart" great songs.
I am 69. Tonight I'm listening too Tommy Boyce, and Bobby Heart
Because a friend will always be there... If you're wrong or if you're right... 🎶
I’m also 70 years young and still love this great song!
20 Years ago today Nov. 23 1994. Tommy Boyce left this earth. R.I.P. Boyce and Hart will live forever with their music.
great songwriter was he yes.
ahhh the music world lost a great talent

My Mother loved this song! Of course it will always be etched in my memory. I miss you every day Mother!

+Ron Bagnato I totally agree. Awesome sounds and great music back then.

..... but?
I've had it in my head for over 50 years...lol
One of the best top ten records from 1968
"CLASSIC", They don't make music like this anymore..
i dig their austin powers outfits. 'yeah baby'
Austin Powers' wardrobe is partly based on Boyce's and Hart's.
Oh, behave!
GOOD ONE:) So damn funny - thanks for the laugh!
More accurately: Powers wore Boyce & Hart suits
Mike Myers must of watched a lot of old 60 video's for idea's, Austin Powers has a strong resemblance to Peter Asher of the 60's Brit duo Peter & Gordon, check out their video of World without love.
This is pure rockin! Oh how I loved "Boyce & Hart" RIP Tommy!
That Looks like Gerry MaGee to the back right, A busy session player and ended up playing lead for the Ventures for many years RIP.
love the 60s, born at the coolest music time i

ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG 🎵 ❤ 💕 ♥ 💖
Such a classic tune!
Why is there so much that reminds me of Paul Revere and the Raiders here?
Boyce and Hart wrote some of the songs performed by the Raiders. Dressing the way they did was quite popular at that time, as well.
These guys were awesome! I love Lennon and McCartney as a songwriting team, and these guys were great songwriters as well!
Sorry, as much as I enjoy these two and this is a pretty good song... primitive compared to Lennon & McCartney.

This song rules.
Yes it does.
A Great CLASSIC that I haven't heard in Years!
The duo was known for its innovative use of advanced technology -- as you can see here, they even had an invisible trumpet player!
Yes, the music even started before the musicians!
Yeah, I noticed that!🙄
great acoustic guitar playing too...........by someone, lol
so funny, its Herb hiding in the bathroom playung.
"all Right Bobby, Let's Go"....
I'VE ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG!! When it first came out. LONG TIME AGOOOO. . . .!!
I first heard this on an episode of “Bewitched” as a child. Loved it at first listen.
long time no hear. good ol tune
Know all the lyrics. This brings me back to age 15 in Chicago. OMG LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!
A #1 hit in Canada Feb 1968.
A couple of cool, groovy cats gettin' down!
I like when he drops the tambourine like "I'm not doing this!" in the beginning.
These are the guys responsible for most of the Monkees' hits.
Love the song. Also the slippery feet and frills.
Great 60's song. I like it
