Porpoise Song with The Pillbugs

[1nceBitten2wiceShy]

Seriously? I don't think I heard a single standout moment that gives away this isn't (?) the Monkees... But I've yet to hear a crap version. Bongwater's always amazed me; the Wondermints' I liked right off the bat; The Church's -- how could it not be good?; same with the Grapes of Wrath, really. And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead's starts off lame, but then it completely engulfs me -- I guess I'm gonna shell out the eight-fifty for the damn color vinyl 45 this weekend...  -- 1b2s

carol king wrote the song and did the ORIGINAL. the monkees put out the hit and a million people have done covers. most covers are great and have their own unique thing going on, but i think the wondermints version is definently the most well rounded and tops all else . . . including the monkees.

[TheMonkeesRock]

The Monkees' Is WAY better.

[markcruiser64]

I like this version better than the Wondermints version!

[edesaute]

Very faithful to the Monkees' version. Nice

[tracyhide]

nice cover, but i'm partial to wondermints' version of porpoise song...

Have anyone SEEN the movie? If so, give us your feedback on the movie.

[edesaute]

Available on DVD. Buy it! Wonderful. I first saw it in 1975 when I was 12 years old--never the same since!

@Wellch

You have to be a fan of the 60's and of The Monkees to enjoy the movie.

If you are, I recommend watching it. I own it.

[Wellch]

@PizzaGod -- I am a fan of the early 1960s and the late 1950s. But I was not a teen in the 1960s. I missed it by a few years. I think that Blockbuster has it for rental.

[TheMonkeesRock]

@Wellch I have

[Wellch]

@TheMonkeesRock -- I saw it on DVD. The movie did appear to be confusing but it could be interpreted as producers trying to control the boys band. I forgot the name of the football player during one of the war scene in the movie. Maybe there is a clip of it somewhere on YouTube.

No where NEAR as good as the Monkees. Mickey's got a cool voice.

[Wowbanger42]

I think Trouble version is best ever.

[JammiBug]

I still love the pillbugs music.

[LaRRy9797]

best song ever !

[JammiBug]

I love this song!! I love the Monkees but I REALLY REALLY LOVE THE PILLBUGS and their version!

[TheRealMrsYork]

Yes I totally agree,

Surprising that someone didn't remake this song sooner.

[sharkbate187]

In my opinion, the DEFINITIVE cover version of "The Porpoise Song" is done by The Church ... seek it out, and you will find nirvana.

[JammiBug]

I LOVE this song by either band but...I REALLY REALLY LOVE IT by THE PILLBUGS!!!

[maxdadfan]

Nah. I think the Monkees' version is better.

[alslsb]

Great video. The Pillbugs rock the Monkees!
