♥♪♫ What Am I Doing Hangin' Round? ♫♪♥

- Michael Nesmith's rural Texas roots and future musical paths crossed on Michael Martin Murphey and Owen Castleman's brisk ballad "What Am I Doing Hangin' 'Round?" The authors were the Monkees' labelmates at Colgems under the Lewis & Clarke Expedition moniker, and Murphey and Nesmith had actually been acquaintances prior to the Monkees project. There is a discernible Bakersfield flavor to the selection, as Doug Dillard's exemplary banjo picking is coupled with Nesmith's twangy narrative and some effervescently rhythmic contributions from bassist Chip Douglas, together creating a feisty countrified rocker in the vein of latter-era Byrds and/or the Flying Burrito Brothers. This song provides one of the rare post-Headquarters occasions that all four Monkees played on the same studio cut. In addition to solid background vocals from Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones, Peter Tork joins Nesmith on guitar.

Brings back so many happy memories, thanks for being part of my teen years what a happy spot of time.
Its sad that only Mickey is left now, R.I.P. Mike Nesmith
What can I say? You were my older sister's idols, but I miss you, too ... esp Michael. The Monkees were a musical commercial product, but the chosen characters were unique - esp Michael. A great, soulful musician ....
Good-bye

RIP Michael Nesmith. Underrated genius.
Indeed he is
@@leonakinglion3210 He did a lot of work behind the scenes for the music industry. I just saw in interview where he talks about this song, and how impressed he was with Peter's excellent banjo playing.
Oh look, another person saying an artist is underrated. That never happens. Very original comment Johnny
@@AhtoNajeebRashied In Nesmith's case he truly was.
A highly respected, easily recognized, award-winning, influential performer/businessman who died wealthy and with all kinds of tributes from the media - you have a goofy idea of what "underrated" means.
Maybe you're a fan who'd like to pretend he's an obscure performer only the cool kids know about. What else is underrated in your opinion? Eating food? Clothing? 🤨
RIP Mike Nesmith , Davey &Peter.
One of my favourite Monkees tunes. A perfect fusion of finger pickin country and power pop. Mike's outstanding vocal twang sets the whole thing off.
Just another band who made my childhood so god damn good.......
my favorite "Monkee" because he was the most country and the best singer and the best looking and the smartest. :D
R.I.P. Michael Nesmith 🙏
Peter Tork 🙏
Davy Jones 🙏
I had to find this SONG. With Mike Nesmith passing away this morning, I just can't believe it 😞😭 and now only Mickey Dolenz remains left living. My childhood is dwindling down to nothing. Rest In Peace, Mike Nesmith, TEXAS is crying for YOU TONIGHT BOY ☮️ 🕊️💔🌹🙏🏽‼️
Monkee or not Michael was a very unique artist. His singing is as unique as Johnny Cash or a Willie Nelson. Nobody sounds like Michael
He not only helped create MTV but he created a new genre of music known as Country Rock. (Western Rock) First example being that from the first monkees album, for example "Sweet Young Thing" which predates anybody else. His music was the first to feature a Moog synthesizer. Daily Nighty' He like the rest of the Monkees still hold the record for most sold albums in a year by Billboard. He was an amazing artist. RIP Michael.
What a great time to be alive. The Monkees had a TV show. The Beatles were still together. Original Star Trek was still on. The future looked bright.
On the other hand, my older brother was far off fighting in Vietnam, so that kind of sucked.
Rest in Peace Mike. Thanks for being part of the soundtrack of my childhood.
Man From UNCLE was on.
Hope your brother made it back ok.
@@presto111man Yes he did, but he lost a part of his old, carefree self over there.
We'll said. Only wish my cousin had returned from the war. But,yes it was a time to remember
I think that the Beatles may have been quiet about the time the Monkees broke. It believe it was that period between Revolver and St Peper's.
It would be no stretch, no lie, no fib, and no misrepresentation to say that between 1966 to 1975 I listened to this forgotten gem no less then 372 times! Easy!!! We damned near worn that album OUT!!!! Such great tunes I remember, but were nearly forgotten after 54 years!!! " I'm Gonna Buy Me A Dog", "She Hangs Out". And about a dozen other tunes we wore the grooves out on on that 1 album alone!!!! So underrated a band in history! Hopefully these kids today will go and listen to these absolute treasures of the 60s!!! The Monkees were cool, in my opinion!!!!! R.I. P. Mr. Nesmith!! You brought me such happiness and joy in my youth!!!! And you got to live a long, fruitful life!!!! May the Monkees live forever??!!!!
Yes! I still have two of my vinyls ☮️
No problem with that I do the same
I'd always though Michael Nesmith had wrote it, since it had some of his Texas country style to it...not that it diminishes its appeal, a classic
R.I.P you beautiful Texas treasure of a soul. You and your six string rifle will greatly be missed. Thank you for a lifetime of joy. Sleep sweet in paradise.
Love this song and the Monkees Remember watching them on Saturday Mornings whenI was a kid in the late 1960s Brings back memories Love there music They are Timeless Classic RIP Mike
This is how I will always remember them 🎸👍😎😇
Mike was an unidentified genius. He’ll be missed
*_Repo Man_* 🎥 🎞️
It was about 1967 that a group of school friends and I use to gather in the school playground on a Monday morning to discuss the Monkees television program that previous weekend.
But one particular Saturday my brother and I were invited to travel to London zoo as part of a birthday celebration. I remember watching four guys rush pass me followed by press photographers and crowd of children. I followed and discovered that the four guys were the Monkees. Wait 'til I tell my friends at school I thought!
So as usual on Monday morning my friends and I gathered in the playground to discuss the Monkees TV show. I said that I didn't watch the show but I saw the Monkees in real life. My friends of course didn't believe me and asked where I saw them and I replied proudly that I saw the Monkees at London zoo.
I was never spoken to again by that group - but I did eventually marry one of them.
78 is too young
goodbye mike
thanks for all the music
My favorite Mike song☮️
This is one of my favorite songs he sings. Love his voice. RIP Mike Nesmith
This song and also "Sometimes Love Is Only Sleeping". Also "Sweet Young Thing" All favorite Mike Nesmith songs!!
Me too
Nesmith was a progressive Country Western singer ahead of his time.
Michael Nesmith is the Godfather of Country Rock.
Michael Martin Murphy tune. The original cosmic cowboy.
Well said.
Folk, not Country and Western.
He and Gram Parsons were pioneers of Cosmic Country!
The way that Dolenz manages to keep the beat whilst waving to an imaginary train is quite extraordinary.
He don't have to hang around no more. Forever Young, Papa Nez.
They were a good group. I grew up watching the TV show and had all their records. Very under-rated. Have to say ,would never figured Mickey would be the only one left.
came here to sat Good-bye to Mike Nesmith, & R.I.P...
RIP Michael Nesmith. All of his songs from the Monkees were outstanding!! Underrated is certainly an overused term, but it applies to Mike in many ways.
May God accept Mike into his loving embrace. So sad at Mike's passing
Michael Nesmith was a genuine musical guru who's talent had no limits
He didn't get enough credit for his ability to sing and play... This is a wonderful song.
only 1 left, now Davy and Peter are singing this song together with Michael. I am so sad my favorite Monkee has passed. I just loved that underdog, sort of like the Ringo or the Maurice(gibb) of the Monkees, but he had a lot more music than those two, in fact i think he had more than those two combined((when in group form(monkees) when referring to Ringo)). Davy, Peter and Michael are now singing this song up in heaven.
Under rated for sure..he was a musical genius..very cool
DAMM MIKE COULD HAVE HAD A GREAT SOLO CAREER!!!!!!!!!!!
R.I.P. Michael, thanks for the music and the laughs from the T.V. show.
Rest In Peace, Davy, Peter and Mike. You're gone, but never forgotten.
Thanks Mike Nesmith and The Monkees for making me smile on a dreary day. Say hi to Davey and Peter for me....
I was happily surprised to learn that this song was co-written by Michael Martin Murphey.
They were all incredibly talented. You could tell Mike was never really into the rock n roll/pop stuff. This was more his country style. But that’s exactly what the producers of The Monkees wanted. Four very different individuals.
The Monkees invented country-rock as early as "Papa Gene's Blues" and "Sweet Young Thing" (Nesmith's own tunes!) on their first album. By "What Am I Doin' Hangin' Round?" they were experts at a genre that no-one else had even picked up yet, outside of a couple stray tracks from the Byrds and Springfield. Add that to their pioneering use of the Moog on the "Pisces" album and you get a band that was far more innovative and cutting-edge than they are EVER given credit for. The Rock'n'Roll Hall Of Fame should hang its head in shame.
1: He'll be missed . One of the best.
2. I want that guitar.
He's been called the inventor of country rock. I'll take that. Peace.
What a great guy! R.I.P You gave us great music. Gone but not forgotten.
He just passed and I'll imagine some folks will be watching this clip. Either again or for the first time. This is a good one.
I loved how Mike sang this song RIP Mike
And still can't stop thinking (of you, Mike) when I hear some whistle cryin'
Time does not diminish the era and feeling that the Monkees music brings us at such an era where all is topsyturvy!
✌❤
I miss you my favorite Monkee. Thank you for your deadpan humor and music.
Omg sad to hear of his passing RIP Michael Nesmith🙁
My first loves. (and im only 38 lol) I miss Nez so freaking much. And of course Davy and Peter
RIP Mike Nesmith. Love you, man. Since I was a baby plopped down in front of the TV, up through when I stole my mom's copies of the Monkees albums, and all the while you were pioneering the music video format.
Micky is hilarious . I love him acting so goofy and waving. This spontaneity and the special connection these four had set them apart from other groups. I was a second generation fan and continued to see the Monkees through out the years . When my sister and cousin were into New Kids on the block. I idolized the Monkees and saw them in concert in 1987 when Weird Al Yankovitch opened for them. Even saw mike and micky recently. Wish I could see micky on his own but have to wait for him to come east.
R.I.P Mike, You brought us such joy, sing to the angels
RIP DAVY JONES MICHAEL NESMITH AND PETER TORK OUR UNFORGETTABLES MONKEES
Rest in peace Michael Nesmith. Loved the Monkees still do.
One of my fav monkees songs sung by Mike. Found out he died this morning and im grief stricken, mike is my fav monkee and ill miss him for sure
RIP mate .. will meet you there in the land where we go when time comes.... !!!
Aw, poor Mike has passed away! I love this song.
Perfection!!! I love and miss Davy, Peter and Mike. My childhood is disappearing right before my eyes😢 Micky, I love you too, my prayers are with you ♥️🙏♥️🙏
If there ever was a song that was written FOR Michael Nesmith, this was it......I was very surprised when I saw that he did not write it himself.
Me too!
me three
Ive always thought Mike wrote it as well,
Me 5! 2018 tour with Mickey and Peter, Mickey introduced it as a song that sounds like he wrote it but he didn't.
I've been a HUGE Monkeys Fan for ever. The music and the show.
I went to a Monkees concert when I was a 12 or 13.
Couldn't hear the music because of the girls screaming.
Had a good seat.
The Monkees were my first rock group.
Good journey Mike.
The Rutles had that problem, too
RIP. Michael. I heard Michael Martin Murphy do this song, but I knew you did it first.
RIP Mike “Papa” Nez. He thought he wasn’t a good singer. I thought he was not only a great singer but a great songwriter, and a person who was able to have vision and make significant change actually happen. People like him come around only once in a lifetime. We are blessed having shared the planet with him at the same time. He changed the music industry and music in general. He couldn’t sit still and take the status quo. He saw the way it was going and didn’t want it to pass him by. Bravo, Michael Nesmith, great work, great contributions all around. ♥️
You said it all. Did he really not like his voice? So many singers don't seem to
@@katethomas5712 iKR? He had such a beautiful voice. As a singer, I get it, you’re always comparing. He was very humble, too.
R.I.P Mike Nesmith. I had such a childhood crush on you.
The Monkees were great, loved every song.
I'm from San Antone ... ☺️. I remember discovering The Monkees in the 80s. They still hold a space in my heart ❤️
my favourite Monkees song and i loved them all. R.I.P. Mike Nesmith.
RIP Mike , we will miss you dearly
Mike rocks! He's the anchor of the Monkees.
Mike is the COOLEST.✌❤
God bless and Rest in Peace. Saturday mornings in the 80s was always Monkees re-runs
RIP: Mike Nesmith
One of a kind. RIP my friend.
I love THe MOnkees ! Rest in peace Mike Davy and Peter !
A Mike Nesmith classic.
R.I.P. Mike, great song man!
Nez was a gift to the world with a legacy of music and visuals for future generations to discover and enjoy!
What a great voice michael Nesmith has !
The coolest.✌❤
@annierose me too
Mike was always my favorite. If it was not for Mike then the Monkees would have never achieved control of their own music. It is unfortunate they were cancelled shortly after this and never had the chance to bloom on their own.
Always thought he was the most talented of The Monkees.
WHAT A VOICE ! WHAT AM I DOING HANGING ROUND - MIKE NESMITH .
RIP to Mike Nesmith😇😢🥀💐
Great song and group. Should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Yeah they should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Vale, Michael. This was a party favourite in the late 70s for the peeps who I used to hang with.
Rest in Peace Papa Nez. Thank you for your creativity, talent and humor. You were always “the one”.
More country than today’s country music
The music world is emptier. Love the Monkees.
That's the great thing about classic tv shows such as this. We physically know that they're old and mostly gone, but we'll always see them as crazy young twenty somethings with a.hilarious singing group tv show.
Man i loved the monkees i use to come home from school n jam out everyday
My all time fave Mike Nesmith song!!! Turn it up and roll down the windows! And don't you just love how silly Mickey is looking far off when they pan to him! Love it!
Mike was years ahead of his time, a tremendous talent and guy....I'm heartbroken that he's no longer with us..
Rip Mike you will be missed 😔
I have aways loved this song. These 4 guys have always put a smile on my face.✌
The Monkees sent this positive energy into the universe I love these guys
seeing davy jones in the back screaming, but we cannot hear him... perfect
RIP, Mike. You will be missed. ❤️
It's Tali There is only memories that is left what sad news that Mike has passed a way all the Monkees songs are great and there show to. 🕯🎶
Michaell Nesmith. Mi amor platónico de niña. Siempre los ame! Hasta ahora una mujer de 66 años. Y lo sentí muchísimo la muerte de ellos. Ojalá Micki Dolenz. Nos dure mucho tiempo. Saludos desde la Ciudad de México.
The Monkees make my childhood extra special every Saturday morning, and as I got older, I actually got to see them in concert 4 times throughout the years, the only Monkees missing was Michael Nesmith unfortunately, But the concerts were absolutely amazing, Thank you so much for the great memories
Will always love Mike
