Almost 73 years old now, but when I hear this one I lose total control of myself dancing. It's embarrassing, but I love it !!!
Yes, easy to get of the couch and dance. Then watch a James steward western 😅
What are you going to do, It's a classic.
69 here. Would love to cut loose dancing but afraid I 'd strip a gear or two !lol Parts of the music sounds just like Grooven With Mr Bloe. Love that also.
Me too❤🎸💋
Me too 😂
At 71 yrs young I crank the radio till its blasting when this comes on and I can't stop dancing. This will be a legend 4ever
I love the way the singer is dressed and his dance moves. Happy memories ❤
Tommy James is legend! 👍🏴
The great 60s
Absolutely classic!!! As I have long said, LONG LIVE THE AMAZING 60S!!
RIGHT ON TARGET WITH THIS ONE FOR SURE
The best song to get you feeling good no matter what time of day, I love it.
I love how Billy Idol sang it better!
My name is Piero 🇮🇹. I remember in Summer 1968 to have danced in Haggerstone Castle ( a place not far from Berwick upon Tweed) this song on a dance floor crowd. What a night 55 years ago . I still have great memories and Nostalgia of that period. And great music ciao🇮🇹👏👍❤️🎼😍
Back in the day we wore ourselves out dancing and loved every minute of it!
I love these old songs. Ya cannot beat em. These people arent just "Singers" theyre "Musicians"..... And bloody good ones at that! ❤🎼🎙
It was real talent back then!
Am 67 now and so grateful I was around to enjoy music like this and when it came out. So many great songs from the 60s.
I'm 79 and every live band here in Venice FL I ask for this song! We old folks all go nuts to this!
When you look back at Tommy James songs now, you realize how good they are and how underrated he was.
क
They got lots of play with tons of hits but were boxing with heavyweights. Brian Wilson practically drove himself nuts trying to compete with The Beatles. Look at that Indian suit! What's he trying to do? MMhmm.
Sex, before we even knew what it was...
Totally. I'm adding him to my list of favorite rock musicians.
@@zimports you might want to add Marc Bolan to that list if he's not already sitting there

edit: some less patient may prefer this classic
th-cam.com/video/w-G7-yLFmCQ/w-d-xo.html
When your songs are covered by Bill Idol, Joan Jett, and Tiffany, and they have SMASH hits from them, you deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
Totally
They certainly added nothing to this song. Who the hell is Tiffany?
@johnnynephrite6147 Covering a song isn't to add to it, it's because the artist likes the song and wanted to put their own spin on it. I find it so bizarre when people get offended at covers like it's a competition when in reality it's a compliment
@@smokesletsgo2374 whats bizarre is that you feel compelled to defend mediocrity.
I remember dancing to this... still gets me up bouncing around and making the dog think that I've lost my mind LOL
This group deserves to be in the Rock Hall of Fame. Their catalog is amazing.
They were from pop all the way to progresive... big influence for many musicians..
I love so many songs by them, Crimson and Clover is so good.
Absolutely...I definitely like this version better than Billy idols. Crystal blue persuasion is my favorite of theirs. It's an absolute travesty they aren't in the H.O.F. yet
Hall of Fame for sure, except now that the Hall is a shadow of itself by filling it with non-rock acts, w
hy would they want to be associated with it?
HOF is crap. They don't need it.
I was 16 when this came out in 1968 and it was the disco topper of those days and it still sounds great now and such great times which sadly will never be repeated.
I was 14
So true
Still the best ever of Mony, Mony. Loved it as a young teenager - and still makes me want to groove . Thanks, JaneR
I like how Billy Idol sang it better!
DAMN! There was no music like we had in the later 60's and early 70's! I listen to it all the time because it sure beats the garbage out there now.
You're SO right Ruth! 🩷
I agree we had the best, so much talent.
Only Crimson and Clover..🏴
Summertime 67-70, one hit after another. Soundtrack to happy childhood.
Tommy is as legit as it gets. A pioneer in many respects and a complete genius pop songwriter. Crystal Blue Persuasion... now that's a tune.
I'm 73 now n remember ģrowing up with this music, řeal music, real people and bloody good times
The most infectious drum and guitar beat that there has ever been,brilliant so infectious.
These guys dominated the airwaves back in the late '60's and had a series of big hits - as soon as you heard a new song of theirs you could bet it would catch on in a big way. Crimson and Clover has to be one of the all-time classics - fantastic group!!!
Tommy was a great composer - i guess some others in the group were too , their songs are just musical genius level,
beatles were awesome so were others, but Tommy's songs were those types that just went to higher levels, 'Crimson and Clover there's nothing else like it , 'Christal blue' is pure beauty
@@poom641Love Crystal Blue Persuasion.
I don't realize just how old I really am until I see the videos like this. This is one of my timeless songs in my head and then I see this and realize "how the hell did I get this old?"
Nothing Wrong with getting old Bettie those were the best times.
The good times in life go by too fast. I wish there was a real time machine and I knew what I know now. I had plenty of fun, but I could have had A LOT MORE.
One summer I was dating 5 different girls, I told them about each other. It was cool because I don't lie to anyone.
Lass, you are not alone!
Tommy James was a genius. Underrated, absolute, unequivocal, massively talented genius.
agreed. seen video interviews . sweet man .
I know he was working on a movie being made about him and the band, kinda like Jersie Boys was for Franki Valli...
Crimson and Cloverrrr. Over and Overrrr.
and he still is
Yes he was.....awesome in all respects.....
As a band, they had more impact on popular culture than many bigger bands of the 60s and 70s. Their dress, stage presence was incredible and they got back to prominence in the late 80s.
I loved Tommy James & The Shondells back in the 60's & 70's & I still love their music in 2019. GREAT Group.
The band's, the music, the clothes. What a great time to grow up. Never tire of listening to our era of music.
Sheron , I'm lost in the 60's...just decided I'm never returning to present days !!
Tommy James and the Shondells was one of my fave bands of the 60s!! Their songs are so innocent and yet they kick ass!!!
Truth Indeed AMEN 🙏
One of the most underrated performers of the 70's. His music was and still is exhilarating and moving. It makes you want to move, grove, and, dig it baby.:)
absolutely. nary a bad song.
He did most his music in the 60s. Check your facts.
I'm still digging it at 65! 😀😀😀
Maybe the best party motivator song on earth. The instant energy generated in both male and female party goers was phenomenal, witnessed by me at least 50 times Within 3 minutes of this song being played, and played again PLAYED LOUD VERY LOUD AND SANG VERY LOUD we inherited our parents feelings form songs such as IN THE MOOD by Glenn Miller! This is a natural high song, no drugs nor alcohol needed and damn we went happily crazy! billy Idol has a great version but NOTHING on heaven nor earth substitutes the feelings generated by Tommy James and the Shondells! OH YEAH from 50 years ago to present day!
a thumping great record that brings back memories of my first dances - so lucky to have heard this first time round
Not true billy idol version is as good or better. Three times I saw billy play it and entire stadium went nuts. The extreme energy was like watching old Beatles footage. But I give tommy James credit . he produced many amazing songs
+ CRIMSON AND CLOVER COVER BY JOAN JET you know lol!
this and Dave Clark 5 songs like BITS AND PIECES.
Your great words made me feel like I was there dancing the night away at some of those parties that you mentioned!!
Used to play my moms records and this is one that I loved when I was like 4/5 yrs old...I’m 50 now and still listening!!
I have covered this song in many wedding bands, believe it or not. It always and will always get people up on the dance floor.
this group made me dance all night & I broke my heels off my brand jet boots the same night I bought them !!! this group just had the adrenaline rushing threw my body when I listed to there tunes awesome GROUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MEMORIES WILL LIVE ON !!!
Born in '84 and still love the 'oldies' as it's put. This type of music is classic.
I was born in 84 too! Yet I like how Billy Idol sang this better!
This is a great group! There story is seldom told but T. James was originally in a local Niles MI band called The Shondells. And all members were high schoolers in there teens. This was 1963! They had one VERY local hit on the VERY small, local, independent "SNAP" record label. By '65 the group had graduated and was history. A couple guys got married after high school & began families. Another got drafted & sent to Vietnam. James alone was left, single, and working on his families farm.
SOMEHOW, a single copy of the SNAP recording found it's way into the used record bin of a Pittsburgh, PA record store where it was purchased by a local DJ who hosted a local radio show called something like "rate the "B" side". His show ran late at night, like 12 am to 6 am so he was trying to build/entertain his audience. To do this he shopped the used record bins of area record stores buying anything he hadn't heard of.
The Shondells original SNAP records version was in fact the "B" side of the record! The "A" side was an original instramental by the band titled "Thunderbolt". The "B" side (Hanky Panky") was reworked by the group. It was originally a "B" side for the Raindrops hit "That Boy John" released in '63.
Once it began to get airplay in Pittsburgh requests for the song to be played again lit up the phone lines. The song was put into HEAVY rotation on the station and got even more requests.
Problem was that the radio station had the ONLY copy. Listeners demanded to know where they could buy it. So the radio contracted with a local record company named "FOX" (aka RED FOX as the orig labels were yellow & red with a fox at the top) to press 5000 copies of the record. This was technically illegal as they had no rights to the song. After the 5000 copies sold out in a single day the record company switched the record label to imitate the original "SNAP" label, but put their name in small print at the bottom of that label (the original "SNAP" labels have no reference to FOX RECORDS printed on them).
In Pittsburgh the record began an astonishing climb up the local charts & was picked up for play on other local stations.
Some proceeds from the "illegal" sales were set aside for the "unknown group" and a search was begun to find them. As SNAP was, on the label, credited to a Niles, MI company, the search began there. But SNAP had gone out of business! The former owner was tracked down & he related that the groups leader, Tommy James, had lived on his fathers farm just outside the city. A visit to the farm found Tommy James working the fields at his fathers farm!
After a discussion with Tommy and his father, Tommy was wisked back to Pittsburgh were he was told he had a hit record .With no orig members of The Shondells besides Tommy available Tommy was, over the next several days, taken to several local bars where he heard several local groups perform HIS song. After hearing several groups Tommy decided that the local group The Raconteurs did the best job (musically) and offered them the job of becoming The (New) Shondells. The group accepted & James fronted the new (performing as The Shondells) band at several local venues over the next several days.
James then left for New York City to shop his song (& group) to New York record labels. Roulette records was the most interested and signed James & the group and released "Hanky Panky" nationally. The rest is history! And by the way, the gentleman who bought that obscure 45 was named Bob Mack!
However, I beg to differ with your opinion that this song, this group, is "bubblegum" music. Rock/Pop - YES. Garage overtones on some tunes - YES. Later to include "psychedelic" overtones - YES. But to call them a "bubblegum" band is totally unfounded.
They did not put out records similar to "Simon Says", "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy", 1 2 3 Red Light, Indian Giver, Down At LuLu's, or anything sounding like that! In fact they were one of the FEW bands, besides The Beatles & Rolling Stones to consistently release QUALITY "B" sides on many of their releases during the mid to late 60's.
Thank you Robert for that info
Mind blown 🤯
Holy Cow Man that was one intense comment. I am not worthy.
@@karaeverman1164 That's what I am saying!!
Wow thank you for the history info!
These songs are the fabric of my life and bring back great memories.
There is just so much to love about this video. The stiff dance style is gold but really you have to watch every band member in turn as they all bring some excellence to this great song. Rolling MTV decades before MTV>
You cannot sit still to this song , absolutely great song
Uuhhhhuuuh, I took this to school in the 3rd grade. For Show & Tell! Still love it & to me it's 1 of the best songs of all time😍✌💕LOVE TOMMY James & The Shondells💝🌼🎵🎼🎶🎤🔊🎹💝💓💋
You're right...one of the best songs of all time.
I refuse to call him bubblegum just because he produced feel-good music. One of the most underappreciated 60s rockers. Always start my day with a little Tommy James and the Shondells.
i would agree 100%..he's just really good rock and roll..he should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame..w/Johnnie Rivers, jay and the Americans, etc..groups that had big hits in the 60s and really rocked..Saw them and Him in '71..he had mellowed a bit but still rocked out big time..
definitely had more sides to his music than the vibe of "I Think We're Alone Now", "Mirage" & "I Like Way", the chugging little groove that became the staple of the Ohio Express & 1910 FG Co.

jeannierae333 Good music but if dressed like that to day in Brighton one could end up with bubble bum.
A timeless masterpiece for a bygone epoch with rebellion, imagination and fantasy.Nothing can bring back memories better,than a song which he was once connected with.
Penrod's on the Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, FL., 1987 Spring Break. If you ever hit this place back in the day you'd know what the world's greatest party was. So the loudspeakers fired up TJ's Mony Mony and this beautiful girl in a blue dress hopped up on a platform and started dancing. Holy crap she could move and her hips hit the rhythm. The crowd went wild! Hundreds of us. It was like Woodstock. Nearly 40 years ago and she's still seared into my brain whenever this song plays.
man those were the days hahaaa
@@poom641 Yes they were. Fun fact: Did you know in Fort Lauderdale you can get a DUI on a bicycle? LOL! Not me. I was too fast!
Edit: One night I was racing my bike through a back street below the airport and ran upon a bunch of hippies and some dudes with big cameras. We hung out. The dudes with cameras were MTV, and the hippies were Electric Light Orchestra. Nobody else was around.
Great to hear this. My Uncle lived in Ft Lauderdale at that time. Sounds GREAT
CLASSIC ROCK! You can't beat it. It will live on forever.
I remember dancing to this when I was only 13. I like it even more now. Great years the 60s and 70s
I love this original version. Like many on here I was around when this came out. I'm on permanent oxygen because of COVID, but if this song comes on my Playlist, I'm up dancing 😅❤🎉
Still love this song and cannot stop moving with this number....beautiful.😂 😂
So rousing... makes me feel like dancing!!! I feel like a teenie in the sixties... let's play it louder!!! 😘❤😘
There was a remake of this by billy Idol in 1981 and it is nearly as good!!! but not quite. OH and Hello Again.
@Mike Stoneking i wasn't even born then... unfortunately... only in my dreams!!! 😁

@@edway7473 Just how mindless do people have to be to go around blindly thanking people for participation in war that no one in their right mind even attempts to justify. If anything you owe these vets an apology for what our parents allowed our government to do to that generation of young people.
Ross Dawson river rat 68. My God you saw the shit! I was under the water at the same time. Tommy James brings back the good memories rock on brother
Happy carefree days amazing music people were kind and neighbours become family enjoyed what we had and music made it happen
I was there in the 60's thank God and I am still here today, thank God ! This is REAL music yeah yeah !!!!!!
A all time classic, wish we could relive those good old days. IM 66 IN 2024 and still love this song.
I grew up listening to this on my dad's 8 track tape. First time I got it on CD, I couldn't believe what I couldn't hear in the 8 track. Love this music
I just loved this era, the way they dressed with their nehru jackets and love beads! the advent of the miniskirt and white gogo boots! Girls with braided head bands and the little granny glasses! Such an expressive time to be a teenager!
Truth Indeed
Sweet! Loved it back then and love it now. yes you can not sit still when hearing this. memories so sweet. Danced till we couldn't dance anymore. LOL
+parisdoll52 This version definitely has a dancing rhythm and beat to it with the deep drumbs and what not.
+parisdoll52 I'm with you girl. What was good then is still good now.
+parisdoll52 yes, cant sit still to this. I was in my early teens when this was a hit. Brillliant
+parisdoll52 Amen!!!
yes
Years ago I worked in a studio with Eddie Gray. We would hang around after hours with other members and I'd listen to awesome stories of his experiences on tour. He was a good soul and a great guy all of the time. I never saw him lose his "cool".
Great simple rock 'n roll with a ton of energy. A classic
Absolute power of music, It brings everybody Together no matter where you’re from or what color your skin is, it’s joy this music!!!!
Truth Indeed AMEN 🙏
They were one of the most underrated bands of all time and so many people have done cover songs so what does that tell you.
Hello Amber how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
my era,of music. the sound, the clothes, the bands. still love it. UTube is great for reliving our youth and memories. thanks guys.
1968 was brilliant, and this song played its part. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,beam me back !!
Absolutely!!!!
Yeah. Nothing bad happening in '68. /eyeroll
My best Memories are from 1968, leading up into 1969...Peace Baby
Sara Hendrix Peter, Paul and Mary sang Bob Dylan's Blowin' in the Wind in 1968. A true reflection of what was going on at the time. And a very popular song. I'M not the downer. THE TIMES were.
What great years of our life ! 68 & 69. Peace out sweetheart ! ROCK ON .
These guys are so underrated. They have so many hits!
😊used to roller skate to this and others with my then best friend and a bit later my niece in law. Had a blast. I married her uncle but didn't know it then. I was only 16. Love the mid and late 60s and 70s music. Nothing better.❤
I was 17 when I heard this song passing by a record store at Santa Catarina street in Oporto (Portugal) and till this day each time I walk by I always remember the song.
I can remember riding in my Pontiac Bonneville Convertible with my friends listening t this on the radio just before I went off to Vietnam, when I came back everybody was gone and so was my childhood with it.
Mr. Brown, thank you very much for your service to this country!! God Bless You and your family.
That's nice of you to say, thank you so much.

I love his version better!
This song is still the the best no 1 from the 60's as far as i'm concerned. I remember when I first heard it, I thought to myself , when I get my pocket money on Saturday, I'm going straight to Reidys music on penny st and buying this great song,,,,,,,& I did.
This is a hard rocking song for anyone to have written. Give it up for Mr. Tommy James.

I like how Billy Idol sang it better!
Aberdeen here 🏴
I heard this song back in 1968 on the radio and The Shondells had everyone fast dancing. Their hit single Crimson and Clover was their slow dancing song. I knew which type all the songs were and used to dance with all the pretty high school girls. Life had purpose, women! LOL!
One of the best songs ever made to get you up off your seat and onto your feet. This was always a mainstay of Saturday night crab feeds and the DJ would get numerous requests throughout the night to replay it. I even saw a woman in a cast out there dancing away and another time a guy on two crutches who couldn't keep sitting.
Maaan this song hit the top when I was born..at 55 it feels so darn good to have grown up with these tunes
anyone still listening to this in 2020? they always used to play this at the funfair when i was a teenager late 60's I still love it!
On this day in 1969 {January 26th} Tommy James and the Shondells performed "Mony Mony" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'...
Six months earlier on July 27th, 1968 it was at #34 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart, and that was also its last day on the chart; it had peaked at #3 {for 1 week} on June 9th, 1968 and it spent 17 weeks on the Top 100...
On the same 'Sullivan' show they also performed "Crimson and Clover"; and at the time it was in its first of two weeks at #1 on the Top 100...
Between 1966 and 1970 the group had nineteen Top 100 records; seven made the Top 10 with two reaching #1, their other #1 record was "Hanky Panky" for 2 weeks in 1966...
Everyone seems to know the words and beat to this hit , it’s a feel good record and that ain’t a bad thing. It’s a recipe for success, the sixties and seventies where full of feel good music and I would like to go back PLEASE 👍😊
These were the days, when music was truly good music. I miss these days.
Then never stop listening to it!!!
I used to love listening to this - once back then, as a kid, I brought my radio into the garden and swung high on my swing. As Tommy launched into that chorus, I took a flying leap off the seat, up into the air!!!! I'd always felt the song could catapult me into orbit, so I tried it for real. It was a great feeling - fortunately I avoided landing in the fish pond!!!!!! 💫
I wish they could bring this kind of music back.
WWChampion16 I know what you're saying. Probably could create similar sounding music but the atmosphere of the times are so different it wouldn't be the same. I could be wrong.
+Rainbow Dash 4Ever Yeah the new stuff these days is nothing but junk!
You can't. Everything has its time. If you try and recreate you just get disappointment.
makes you want to dance damnit... :-)

That guy was dancing to Moni Moni with pure joy! ❤
Thanks for the rare music video! "Tommy James and the Shondells also produced a "Mony Mony" video when the song was a hit. Even though a number of musical groups had already produced videos by that time, there was no market at all for that film in the US. Television stations would not air it, and it was originally shown between double features in movie theaters in Europe. The film was not seen in the US until the creation of MTV."
When I was in my 20's, I loved Billy's version. Now in my 30's I finally found orignal is far more wonderful. This is the masterpiece,
Sorry, who is Billy?

A real classic! Fabulous song and brilliantly sung by Tommy. Iconic!
This music makes feel me great when came out in 1960's and still does today, cruising in my 1956 Olds. hotrod.
I was a 12 year old on a giant family picnic when I saw there was a big cement dance floor and a Wurlitzer;!! I must have played this song 15 times cause it was free!! Best thing about this picnic was this cute boy whom I made friends with and then, after a while, we snuck away and I got my first French kiss and I still get butterflies when I picture the whole thing. I can instantly recall the FEELING. Oh, Lord, if only......
Great song for dancing,I have seen it fill more than a few dance floors.
