The Monkees Christmas Episode 1967 Part 3 Of 3

[jerico641]

Well, yeah, it's a pretty song, and I read what the lyrics meant and so on; but what language is that? What's the history of the song?

[uofmrules1]

It's so lame they don't show the original ending where Davy was wishing everyone "happy christmas" and the credits played over that. That was actually the first time in my life I ever heard anyone say "happy christmas". Is that a british thing?

[1Amalthea]

I remember when it ORIGINALLY aired; I am a life-long Monkees fan (Peter is my favorite, for the record). I have the 6 original albums on vinyl (I xferred them to CD myself). This year my husband bought me both seasons on DVD for Christmas. Incredible harmonies on this song.

[SixTailights]

Are they lipsyncing?



[LennonRevolution9]

This is one of my favorite songs to listen to by them. It's beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

[hemiglos]

That song gives me goosebumps--anybody else?

[frodis124]

just beautiful

[ilovedatasoong]

0:28 - Peter sniffs his incense!

[Havefun1998]

I agree with u @Necrofetus667

[leananshae]

Ok , wow. The boys sure had nice pipes. And what a beautiful song.

[isolovedabeatles]

Micky's voice is sexy ....... :)

[Necrofetus667]

@isolovedabeatles Micky is sexy!

[xjezebellax]

Okay, seriously...this ALONE should prove they all had extraordinary talent and belong in the rock and roll hall of fame. The harmonizing is absolutely beautiful. I'm 23...and I would watch reruns on tv land back when i was like 7...and recently caught the shows on another channel and it reignited my already strong love for them, Side note, why aren't guys this gorgeous nowadays?

[Beatlemania196]

@xjezebellax I wish I could like that comment more than once!! Like....a million times maybe? Not enough, you think?

[TheMonkees12]

loove the spanish

[TheMonkeesRock]

Thanks for posting some lyrics they make it easier for me to sing.;) Do you have the rest of the lyrics? If you do please post;D

[ricadrew]

Excellentie!!!!

[bubblebear83]

@2nicks I don't want to pick on Latino people, do you guys sings these songs in Spanish in Las Posadas or in any Christmas celebrations?

[OhSoSwingin60s]

Love this :)

But where's the end of this episode where they introduce members of the studio? Is that only on the Monkees DVDs?

[Anglynn74]

they certainly cut out the actual ending here. Was maybe a minute or two long where the entire crew, cameramen, etc were invited to come out on camera by the guys. One of their best episodes ever.

[doctorwho0802]

This is so cool i love the sound of mickys voise awsome love him

[crazy4paulmccartney]

holy.... wow micky im kind of... shocked... beautiful :]

[AnntichristSCoulter]

The best part of this song is the FLAWLESS (tenor?) HARMONY b/n Michael & Peter's voices at the intro & in the rounds.  Why they don't get along, I have no fuckin' idea, because they WORK SO DAMNED *WELL* TOGETHER!

[vidkidT81194]

Some of this is cut out. I remember a segment where they introduce some of the girls(Their "Monkee girls" according to Davey) who worked on the show. I remember it from when I was little. I hate that they cut out parts of the show to make more room for commercials!

[qt8625]

Davey Jones is impressed with Micky, me too! Love the song

[qt8625]

Love this. 

[Nerfball6]

[AnntichristSCoulter]

[jazzypip96]

[ThereShallBePinball]

It's like a harmonic orgasm.

[JakeANowhereMan]

[RANDOMvideosbyME]

i love the song they sing in the beginning of this part!!! Micky's great on the solos :)

[2nicks]

The song translated is...

River, roaring river, guard our homes in safety,

God has kept the black wolf from our lamb, our Lady.

God has kept the black wolf from our lamb, our Lady.

Raging mad to bite her, there the wolf did steal,

But our God Almighty defended her with zeal.

Pure He wished to keep Her so She could never sin,

That first sin of man never touched the Virgin sainted.

River, roaring river...

[2nicks]

The song the Monkees are singing in the christmas show is...

Monkees — Riu Chiu lyrics

Riu riu chiu, la guarda ribera;

Dios guardo el lobo de nuestra cordera,

Dios guardo el lobo de neustra cordera.

El lobo rabioso la quiso morder,

Mas Dios poderoso la supo defender;

Quisola hazer que no pudiese pecar,

Ni aun original esta Virgen no tuviera.

[earlymusicus]

Can anyone tell me the title of the song they are singing? I really like it!

[daisybtoes]

It's an old Spanish carol called "Riu Chiu".

[misamisa31]

@daisybtoes this is my favoirte version of this song
