Celebrate the holiday season in style with this timeless playlist of Christmas favorites old and new: 100 Greatest Christmas Songs Ever 🎅🎄 wea.lnk.to/xmas
2023 and I still love this album. At first I was apprehensive that the next release after Good Times was a Christmas record, especially given it was very likely going to be the last album they would do. It did turn out to be the last Monkees album, and it is superb. One of my favorites, and a worthy addition to the Monkees canon. They had never done a Christmas album, and it turned out to be a great idea. Monkees music and cheer we can enjoy ever year around this time. (Frankly, I even listen to it in July!) Thanks Monkees (and friends)! R.I.P. Davy, Peter, and Mike. We miss you!
@@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427 Haha... the rolling who? Oh, I'm just kidding. I love the 60s Stones but I have to say I prefer Micky Dolenz wondering what Santa would do than Mick Jagger singing yet more blues (on their last album).
@@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427 Dunno if anyone refers to "awesome new Stones tunes"... But there's others. Even Sparks technically started before 1968 -- and their latest album is DEFINITELY awesome!
Micky sounds so good on this, it almost brings tears to my eyes. And I'm just gonna say it: This is probably the best song Rivers Cuomo ever wrote, of the many I've heard.
CHRISTMAS PARTY, the first holiday album by The Monkees, is available now on vinyl, CD, and via digital download and streaming. rhino.lnk.to/ChristmasParty
you guys are the best. my dad introduced me to yall when i was way young and i am still a fan. always wanted to meet you guys. everyone else in my family has but me..either way keep up the good music! and merry christmas
Wonderful song. Hearing Micky sound this great in 2018 nearly brings tears to my eyes. My gf thought he sounded like he was 25! Plus, the hook and subtly shifting chords in the chorus are truly beautiful.
I didn't know about this CD until tonight when I heard one of the songs on the Music Choice Holiday Music Channel. I'm so excited 😱👍🙌😄🎄 I'll have to see if I can find it!
So awesome! Song is great, Micky sings it great and the animation is so cool! The whole Monkees Christmas Party CD is great. Thanks to everyone involved in making the CD and these videos.
2nd verse ?: Is he asking what Santa would do if he came home and found his wife cheating on him with Santa? I mean obviously I guess he'd have no problem since he's already doing it.
The chorus of the song sounds a bit like She Makes Me Laugh, especially the What Would Santa Do. Good song. Still waiting for the album. Ordered it in Mid October and still not here. Hope it comes before Christmas. Canada Post is terrible and maybe US customs holding it up. If it comes after Christmas I will have to wait a year to listen to it for only play Christmas music in December. Disappointed cannot enjoy it.
They had to get something out in time for Christmas so it couldn't be a huge production. The whole Christmas album project was a last minute thing anyway.
How cheap!!!!! They can’t even make a different background? Guess getting #3 on the holiday charts doesn’t give them a budget to make something new. This song is too good to get a recycled background! Not to mention how much the fans crave new material. I know this rant won’t change anything and yes I should be happy that another song is being promoted no matter what but ..... bah humbug! Lol
Gary McGrath I agree. I’m not too keen on how they hyped this, only for it to be the same video, just with different lyrics. Also, I might receive heat for this, but Rhino using a sheet of Monkees wrapping paper as a way to entice fans to buy music/merchandise echoes P. T. Barnum’s alleged sentiment.
@@lauriedee7862 Supply and demand. No one has to buy anything they don't want or need. I'm glad Rhino makes plenty of Monkees products for me to choose from. it doesn't mean I have to buy them all.
PlaceSoFarAway I get that. It’s basic capitalism. They wouldn’t do it if they thought no one would purchase it. I just think a sheet of wrapping paper is a lousy incentive. If someone else is delighted to have it, then great.

R.I.P. Davy, Peter, and Mike. We miss you!
Nice song and very cool art by Laura and Mike Allred.
R.I.P Peter. You were a legend.
We're so freaking lucky to still get awesome new Monkees tunes! Who can say that about any other band from the 60s?
@The Monkees Archives Hmm. Mac, Ringo and Clapton are not a "band" from the 60s. On the other hand, you omit The Rolling Stones. Curious.
There's this little group, see?
Maybe you've heard of them. They're called..... THE ROLLING STONES! Hello?

Haha... the rolling who? Oh, I'm just kidding. I love the 60s Stones but I have to say I prefer Micky Dolenz wondering what Santa would do than Mick Jagger singing yet more blues (on their last album).
There's still Chicago, which has been actively touring continuously sine their formation in 1967.

Micky still sounds just like how he did back in the 60s. He has such a beautiful voice

The artwork is gorgeous.
Art by Mike Allred! He's Groovy!

My all time favorite group ever! Love this cd!
I love The Monkees. Their my favorite 60's rock group / t.v. show.
*they're

I heared about it in October. My sister ordeed it off of Amazon.

@MarilynMorrison This is the first time I'm hearing this song as an adult, and it's got me celebrating Christmas in August 2020!
@@sweetblaqcoffey962 The whole album is pretty damn good! I recommend.
@@glennpagemusic I will check it out, thanks 😊
I just ordered the CD, but from what I have heard, it's going to be my favourite Christmas CD hands down. Awesomeness.
I just love that Rhino is using animation/comic book art to promote these catchy new Christmas songs.
yeah me too
Most of it is from the episode "The Monkees get out more dirt". The girl is Julie Newmar (Catwoman).
Who was the artist who did these drawings used in this video? Any crediting? There should be!!
@@moxie96 Mike Allred
I cant believe they made new songs oh man too bad it's only a christmas album i'd love to see new regular content .
The illustrations are great of scenes from the show. If you notice all tourbooks have the younger pics
Superb Christmas Tune! I just purchased the CD! MERRY CHRISTMAS ONE AND ALL!! 😀🎅🎄🎁 XxX
great music from the guys
Thanks Rivers, very cool 😎
Great track,great album.
R.I.P. PETER AND DAVY
I love it !!!
Merry Christmas Monkees 🎄🎅🎁
Godamn that bass doe
love comic book animation for the video.
Very good video ! 🎄😊💜 merry Christmas !
Cool tune. Julie looks good in cartoon too!
Really cool song, guys! Happy Christmas wishes!
The intro fits perfectly in a Targa commercial.
Love this!!!😆
Awesome early Christmas prezzie !!
Love this song. Great video!!!! Keep them coming!!!!!
Love these, thanks for posting them
I want these comics.
Los amo, son los mejores.
Yay!!!!!!
I wonder if they will reunite for Woodstock 2019...
Best Weezer song I’ve heard in a while.
Good work.
Great song! Very cute video!
Me han dicho que en este álbum reciente de Los Monkees, habria una cancion que estaria con la voz del fallecido Davy Jones, ¿habra video?
I'm about to listen to the Christmas CD tonight! Sounds great! This CD just might become a Christmas classic!
The great Rivers Cuomo of Weezer band fame wrote this song.
They should make an actual comic, that'd be 'groovy.'
👌
Does anyone have any idea how to.get.a poster of the Monkees please
To those who do not like the video do you like the song without the video.Its a great song.
I like it, but would have honestly preferred a modern age version of the Monkees. Growing older is not a bad thing.
With Davy dead.
The girl in this video looks an awful lot like Julie Newmar. :-) I think she would get a kick out of this video
That is her,,,she stared on one of the Monkees episode,,,the same poses on the show as they show in the art work ,,
@@annieh2900 That's cool. :-)
that fat bass tho,
Who Will care if i watch this song again on 2019...
What would Santa do??
Your wife, that's what!!
2nd verse ?: Is he asking what Santa would do if he came home and found his wife cheating on him with Santa? I mean obviously I guess he'd have no problem since he's already doing it.
@@scottparkermusic I TOTALLY don't get this song. Why does he even care what Santa would do when Santa's doing his wife?!?!?
@@cljohnson1966 agreed. And it doesn't match the sentiment of the rest of the song
You haven't seen my wife! Santa wouldn't want to do her!
Check out “Colonel Peter’s Pig!”
The chorus of the song sounds a bit like She Makes Me Laugh, especially the What Would Santa Do. Good song. Still waiting for the album. Ordered it in Mid October and still not here.

If it comes after Christmas I will have to wait a year to listen to it for only play Christmas music in December. Disappointed cannot enjoy it.
They have to listen to it a few hundred times before they can let it in.
I'm so disappointed that they just recycled the same background from "Unwrap You at Christmas". This song is too good to waste on the same footage.
They had to get something out in time for Christmas so it couldn't be a huge production. The whole Christmas album project was a last minute thing anyway.
@The Monkees Archives It's not really animation. The "camera" moves, but the "action" is frozen. These are stills. For what it's worth.
It's not the same as it was...
How cheap!!!!! They can’t even make a different background? Guess getting #3 on the holiday charts doesn’t give them a budget to make something new.

Good song, but, inmho, the lyric videos are starting to get old, unfortunately.
vocal auto tune is very much ACCEPTABLE for legends their age.
Yeah, cause the Monkees can't sing well without it being auto tune? Really?
Wow, that song is dumb! I love the Monkees, but just no! Beautiful comics; love the way they are drawn. They actually look like them! Thank you.
Yeah, I'm sorry but this is bad.
Crap
In my opinion this is in the running for the worst song ever made. I hate that I exist in the same universe as this song.
myn?
