if you want to get technical watt is pronounced wa-t. a watt is how they measure the brightness of a lightbulb. for example, a 75 watt lightbulb is brighter than a 25 watt one. really a 25 watt lightbulb is quite dim.
Wow, this is really hippy, especially with the tambourines in it and surfer thing. Wow, if this is the orginal, then smash mouth didn't change nearly anything to theirs.
One of the all-time good feeling songs. You know things are bad today when a created for television band from the 60's sounds better than most of this decades artists.
I believe Hal Blaine was on drums and the others from the "Wrecking Crew" - they were doing all the sessions back then - Hal even played drums on most of the Carpenter's records - the list is long - check it out online - Beach Boys sessions, etc...
Yup! Kudos to the engineers. A crystal clear recording; no clipping, great, warm tube & tape tone, very detailed vocals without being to forward in the mix; everything is balanced just perfect. Drums are a little squeezed, but that was the sound everyone was after back in the day.
I'd love to hear a full-res version... on vinyl of course. :-)
Really good. Wish they'd have had a bit more bass to it tho. The only thing I can find as clear as this, is Paul Shanklin's parody of this song with President William Jefferson Blythe Clinton singing "I'm a Bush Leaguer"
Both of these are very good with the mandolin.
Shanklin is a master at what he does. Check out his hits, he does everybody from the left to the right.
Most of them you'll hear on Rush Limbaugh's # 1 rated Talk radio show in the USA. Shanklin has his own site and he is on Utube.
love this and daydream believer classics wish theyd make em like this again i jump round the room with my 3 sons to this song we look maddddddddddddddddddd
Always liked the Monkees sound. Trouble was, my kid sister had the hots for them in the 60s and I was 10 years older than her so I never dared admit it then ! So old now I don't care what anyone thinks ...
God, I forgot just how much ass The Monkees kick. Cause of advance orders over a million, the album went gold within TWO DAYS of its release, this song was that awesome.
Hell yeah man. Im tired of everybody shitting on the monkey's. Micky's a great vocalist for real. That's fucked up that they're not. Instead, they're probably gonna put Amy Crackhouse in there.
Johan, this version is outstanding, especially Mickey's voice, and that organ; but the studio recording that Neil Diamond did of this song is Out-a-Sight! Neil's version is a bit more raw musically, and then there's that Diamond voice(when he was young)that just Rocks.
Its good quality, but personally I prefer the crackle of it normally, and how the sounds is slightly distorted when they sing in unison. It adds a sense of...style
I'll never say "oldies" are the best music, but yeah - there's more awesome music between 1950 and 1990 than between 2000 and 2008 - well, no shit sherlock <.< Either way this is a great song, though I can't blame Smash Mouth for doing it differently.
It's even more memorable for us folks in our 50's.
We were in that young teen age phase, 1966/67, when the Monkees came out of no where, had their own top TV show, #1 songs, all the media and mag coverage.
You can really hear Peter & Davy in the background. But you can't hear Mike watz up w/ that. thank's garfieldcats5 for this awsome version of the Monkee's song I'm a believer.
Folks, you cannot understand how good it is to have been born in the sixties!!!
Monkees is just one of the wonders that we could watch on the TV every afternoon... and Lost in Space, Thunderbirds, The Time Tunnel, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Hanna and Barbera Cartoons... I wish I could go back in time to review all these artistic wonders!
I'm also a fan, but we must not sugar coat. No, they (with the possible exception of Peter) were not great instrumentalists. They are on record stating that they had to work really hard to even adequately play them instruments, hence long recording sessions.
fortunately I´m 46....
