Monkees - Someday Man

[dvlaries]

A victim of timing, certainly not one of quality, "Someday Day" should have been at least a top 20 hit, and a year earlier it would have been. But by May 1969 when this was in stores, their movie "Head" had tanked terribly the previous fall, Peter Tork left and the next single, "Tear Drop City" (2-69) went nowhere. The TV series was a memory, an (always) fickle public embarrassed now by their former mania and it all unfairly worked against this terrific record. Terrific then, terrific now.

Only a #81 hit on the Billbaord Top 100 charts, but a super song!

[Mishimasaiko]

後期のモンキ－ズの秀作だと思います。

日本では２枚組みＢＥＳＴ版のみの収録（リバイバルヒットした当­時）だったので、この曲を知らない人、多いのですが聞くとみな高­評価です。

Paul Williams and Roger Nichols are incredible songwriters! And The Monkees do their song justice.

[dunkirchen1940]

The two folks who disliked this have no taste!

[labyrinthmonkee]

It's Monkees- no 'y'.

[FlyffEle]

Can someone pls explane me whats right monkeys or monkees ?

[TheMonkeesRock]

@FlyffEle Its The Monkees no y

[DamStanky]

Sunshine Pop at it's best!

I happen to be a black guy 60 yrs old but I was fortunate to love all kinds of music growing up and this song has always been one of my faves at the same time also loving let a man come in and do the popcorn by james brown. Gonfigure

[dvlaries]

@billyeism I can relate. This now-57 year old white boy might have stacked Someday Man on the spindle that spring with It's Your Thing, Don't Let The Jones Get You Down, I Can't Myself Leaving You, Grazing In The Grass, My Cherie Amour and What Does It Take To Win Your Love. Pop and soul, when a record is made with competence and talent, it's futile to resist.

[HotBroodish]

Paul Williams wrote this. I think that's so cool.

[Whippsy1]

The Monkees were the Ramones of the 1960s. Laughed about, but cool as hell!!

[Toonanja]

this is my fave song ^_^

[trumanfalls]

Great tune. Although Paul williams's original version is much better.. Maybe thats because I heard that version the first time..

Happy  Birthday Mike Nesmith And Davy Jones

[Ehud221]

Im in love with this song. I love the horns throughout the song. It just gets you so into it.

[mhpjo]

Davy Jones voice somehow lifts the spirit !

[lollypasam]

Well, well, well, I've had a real ''Version Excursion'' tonight, I listened to so many recordings of this wonderfully haunting, yet catchy ditty. They've all had their moments, in particular ;- Mr Fame, The Pastors, The Casuals, Lance... , his double-timed chorus bit, hilairious, Paul Williams also was great, but The Monkees version is just so excellent. Horns / Brass, perfection and Davey's vocals, smashes it. As for Mr Blackburn, Ouch, NOOOOOO, STOP, PLEASE !! Ha ha ha ha ha ha, lol, P.M.S.L.

[mikec32001]

Lovely song, Paul Williams is a genius.

[illharmonic]

Paul McCartney was never a member of the Monkees, though most people think so. He was actually the bass player for a less popular group called Ultimate Spinach but went on to bigger fame when he landed the role of "Danny" on the Partridge Family (and later as Richie Cunningham on the sitcom "Laverne and Shirley")

[sheri1205]

@illharmonic That's funny...oh wait you were joking right....lol



[genericgeorge]

@illharmonic didnt Paul McCartney end up changing his name to Lennon McCartney?

[OhSoSwingin60s]

@illharmonic I love you

[akcalo]

I'm a big fan of Paul Williams and was reading an article and just found out they had sung this song written by him! I just had to look it up on YouTube. How awesome to find this gem!

[genericgeorge]

Very sophisticated track

[HistoryofTek]

this is def the best version of this song......

[zenileon]

This is also my favourite Monkees song. I think in a way, it is a good thing that it is so underrated as to some it will be a newly discovered gem.

[carlymoseley]

@zenileon

That happened to me, I skipped this song on for years, I love it now!

[dcskfz]

one of my all-time favorites!!

[meandemjay]

i love this song!

[334286]

[JohnnyTheWolfLupino]

My favourite Monkees track.

[mushkeeful]
