his final tune, besides the one TMZ has for a kid's show. Check it out and pay some respects to the frontman of the "Prefab Four". Hope it gets a million hits, spread the word so it can!
Saw the Monkees in the 80's and he was still as cute as ever. And they even sounded good playing their own instruments. Mike, of course, wasn't there b/c he didn't tour with them. Looking back now, I am so glad to at least have seen Davy once since I had a major crush on him in school. RIP, Davy.
@MegaSnakegirl - I saw them in 1966 during their very first tour after the TV shows first season. It's unbelievable but true that the Jimi Hendrix Experience was the warm up group for the Monkees during that first tour.
I grew up w/ The Monkees too....such fond memories of an easier, simpler life. So sorry to hear about Davy Jones!! My fav & 1st crush. Can't stop crying.
@MR94RB1 I don't have to show "respect" for a video that sucks. Obviously I "respect" the song or I would not have searched for it on YouTube. In fact, I "respect" the song so much, that it annoys me when someone posts a speeded-up version of it that makes it sound like crap. Is that too much logic for you to handle?.....There are many other videos on YouTube of this song at the correct speed. That's what I'll watch.
@chuggachuggawoowoo Well you may think it sounds like crap, but others (including me) may think it sounds good no matter what speed it's played at. I believe it sounds like he took off the original record and the original record played through a record player would sound like this. So this how it would've sounded on a record player.
Oh Davy!! I just read about your heart attack. I am SO sorry!! I loved you too, like a lot of others here. You were my fav! I'm sorry that you're gone. :(
RIP.....Davy......say hello to Freddie Mercury. At least you'll get to jam w/ the King of Queen!
TRIBUTE TO DAVY JONES: Another talented guy gone to that heaven in the sky, perhaps getting ready to entertain them 'up there'. Actor, musician, Jockey etc.
Why 240p when you can choose any quality and it will still work on other vids. why do that instead of leaving the quality as for example 360p or 480p.
Hey Youtubers and Monkee fans! As you can see there aren't any or not that I know of... drum covers of this song on YouTube. But there is now! Visit my channel or search my user name or The monkees Daydream Believer drum cover. I would appreciate it! Thank you!
Issued statement reads due to "..irreconciliable differences...We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your continued support of The Monkees."
@MattyEFC121 - I posted this video 2 years ago and it had been working just fine until 7 or 8 months ago when it went silent for some reason. Thanks for solving the problem. I don't know why it was playing fine on 360p for so long then it stopped.
Hey everyone... Trivia TIME!!! Did you know that.... FACT: Michael Nesmith's MOTHER is the inventor of the world famous "Liquid Paper". Of course now-a-days there are barely any manual typewriters being used enough to generate much sales of the stuff, but before these PCs and laptops came to be, Liquid Paper was one of the top 10 selling stocks of all time. Wild huh? just something to trip on for a moment.... peace..
Though I like the song, it's still hard to listen to it. It was my uncle's favorite song. He was Chief Warrant Officer on Huey helicopter, "slick", tail # 67-16387, hit by enemy fire, crashed & burned May 30, 1969, Binh Duong Province, South Vietnam. Memorial Day & this song have special meaning to me, as well as the other 2 crew members who died that day. They were all impossibly young daydream believers. God Bless America & thanks to our sacrificed veterans.
@harapop All the versions you mentions have been digitially enhanced by techonolgy this is the original song at 45rpm records way before cd and mp3 im afraid.
Why's this song a touch higher in key than the usual? Been hearing others with similar effects, wondering if it's youtube buggering up or just the personal tastes of the posters
I'm sorry but I don't hear what your referring to. I grew up listening to all these songs when they were originally on top 40 radio and they sound right on to me. I'm assuming all you have for reference are the songs from CD's or LP albums which are known to have been recorded at a slower speed than the original 45rpm records.—David
@HaraPop I hear it to. I think its becouse this is how it sounded in 1967. Just like VinylNostalgia said. We now a days hear more of the remastered verison from the early 90's. You have to be crazy not to hear the difference once it's pointed out. Good ear HaraPop.
Mike Nesmith wrote his own songs, and very good ones too! BUT as mentioned before, there is no comparison between the two groups. In my mind there will never be a group as talented as the Beatles!
@VinylNostalgia That depends on the style of music you like. I love the Beatles but I can admit to the truth that they were not the best musicians in the world. To be the Most Talented you have to be the best players too. For example George used Eric Clapton to play the lead on My Sweet Lord, which btw was a plagiarisation of Hes So Fine, albeit an involuntary one.
@nessunopassato No. Not always, especially if it would hurt sales by revealing that it wasnt the Group members who actually did the playing. But the Monkees and the Beatles were still great fun when they were making creative music. You could feel they were your friends.
