    RIP.......DAVY........We still love you!!

  • RIP D.J. Great Musc ,Classic

  • RIP D.J. Great Music Classic

  • This is the only song to cheer me up when I am down. RIP Davy you ell never be forgotten

  • Davy recorded a song around Valentine's Day called "Written In My Heart", and his agent gave permission to someone to upload it to Youtube here:

    youtube.com/watch?feature=play­­er_embedded&v=nT9uk4X8awg#!

    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!

  • i was in my early teens when the Monkees became popular with their music and show. Davy Jones, you will be truly missed. God bless and RIP

  • 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.

  • @VinylNostalgia How I envy you and the time you lived through.

  • @MegaSnakegirl I had heard about that, but yeah, it seems so unbelievable! Who at that time would have thought how much things would change?!

  • i still cant beleve davys gone. if he doesnt get better treatment than whitney houston im going to go absolutly monkee

  • 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.

    RIP Davy......so sad to lose you! :(

  • i can't stop crying he was my favorite teenage singer i had such a crush on him rest in peace davy the world lost another great person

  • This video sucks. The song is speeded-up

  • @chuggachuggawoowoo The song is good no matter what speed. Show a little respect for it.

  • @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.

  • @chuggachuggawoowoo Or is that too much logic for you to handle?

  • R I P Davy Jones you will be missed grew up listening and watching him he was a teen idle

  • Such a sweet song. RIP Davy Jones 1945-2012

  • everybody change the settings to 240p to get sound- no hardship , stop hassling the uploader

  • nice sound!

  • you should be abel to klik on the video and have sound, not hving to change the settings...

  • @maxdog97 - You're right, but Youtube has control over that, not me.

  • @maxdog97 You should be able to wake up in the morning and have a staff of people waitng on you but that ain't happening either.

  • 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.

  • @MattyEFC121 - You lucky dog. I had always wanted to see the Beatles in concert, but never had the opportunity. My favorite Beatle was John.

  • VinylNostalgia, hahaha sickk

    Home of The Beatles.

  • @MattyEFC121 - The best band EVER!!!

  • VinylNostalgia,

  • @MattyEFC121 - Louisville, Kentucky USA - Home of Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby.

  • VinylNostalgia,

    Hahahaha, I didnt realise you posted this and then didnt know how to play it~

    Hahahah! ''ill be darn'' Silly Americans.

  • @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.

  • siti1ca,

    Simply....

    Because!!! hahahaha

  • VinylNostalgia, 3 icons to the left of the button you press to fullscreen it reads 360, change that to 240 and enjoy!

  • @TheCatmice

    Brilliant.

  • @TheCatmice - LOL, that's very good, I like that.

  • Sound of Silence :-D

  • @lucyglanc - YouTube has removed the audio. If you want to hear this song add &fmt=18 to the end of the URL address and you will have sound.

  • @meandemjay - Because YouTube likes playing games, making it difficult for people to listen to these copyrighted songs.

  • @VinylNostalgia -gocha....truedat

    Will you murder him?

    I forgive it if I apologize

  • @VinylNostalgia WOAH! wtf!??

  • A silent song??????LMAOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo­ooooooooooooooo

  • No sound :(

  • @strangerinwhite - Add &fmt=18 to the end of the URL and you will have sound.

  • add "&fmt=18" (no quotes) for the sounds. 

  • @Bhastings91 - Where do I add it? Sorry, I'm not very technical. Will this work on all of my silenced videos?

  • @VinylNostalgia at the end of the URL at the top. so it would look like this...

    youtube[dot]com/watch?v=GZD9gk­O_mpM&fmt=18

  • @Bhastings91 - OMG it worked! Thanks for telling us about this fix, this is great.—David

  • I don't here anything and my volume is turned up all the way...

  • @cherylsmith75 - Sorry, I guess that's another of my records silenced by YouTube!!!!!

  • You can say what you like but we all love nostalgia, its what memories are made of.

  • I can't hear a thing

  • @nessunopassato - Sorry but YouTube is removing the audio from these records, not me! I have no control over what they do.

  • 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..

  • @scorpysects - Yep, I've known that for ages...but I'm an old fart!

  • here cause of glee :D

  • I'm a huge Beatles fan but I love The Monkees.

    Cheer up sleepy Jeannn!

    I watch the show and I have all the music. They are truly amazing.

  • 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.

  • @elwoodthelarge lol they deserved to die, the invaded a foreign country?

  • sounds like a girl no offence

  • @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.

  • yeah this sounds sped up, sorry.

  • yeah this sounds sped up, sorry.

  • I dont hear it, I also grew up to this. Thats Mr. Jones' voice.

  • don't get excited because i'm short!just too kool.

  • don't get excited because i'm short!just too kool.

  • 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

  • It's true, giving it another listen this is a little 'faster' than the version I listened to offa Rhapsody.

  • yeah it does sound a little quicker

  • @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.

  • @HaraPop I think it sounds faster, which would explain the change in pitch.

  • oh! the scratches!  Nostalgia plus...I can just SMELL my copy of this single...

  • The Beatles are to The Monkees as Jennifer Lopez is to a blow-up doll......hmmm.....I quite like The Monkees...

  • 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.

  • @Sixalienasa don't they usually add a notice saying that?

    either way - too bad huh

  • @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.

  • The Monkees simply rode on the success of the Beatles in the beginning, copying their style of music, Beatles were the first

  • I dont care what anybody says but I totally think The Monkees were up there with the beetles

    and davy Jones is a legend

  • awsome! suck it beatles

  • beatles way better then the stupid monkees

  • beatles kick ass

  • And the reason for getting worked up over this is????????

  • 時代を超えた名曲ってのがあると思うんだけど、これもその一つで­すね。

    なんか、元気が出るね。

  • Who talks at the start? He sounds adorable!

  • That would be Davy Jones.

  • @myinfamy, davy jones talks at the start

  • lol axl rose got his dance from davy:DD

  • Cheer up sleepy jean, oh what can it be, to a day dream believer and a homecoming queen ;)

  • im more of a hevy metal fan but i l
