I was best friend to Bill Lewis, the Candy Store Prophets Drummer from 1975 until Bill's untimely death in 2005. When Tommy shot himself we joined Bobby Hart at a special wake on the beach near Malibu, and listened to Boyce and Hart Songs. When Bill died we had a huge wake (which I catered). Bobby Hart and Larry Taylor amongst many others attended. It was a grand send off for a fine musician. I miss my dear friend very much. It is great to listen to this music here !!
I once bought a book Tommy Boyce had written about songwriting. I can't say it made me a better songwriter, but he did have some interesting stories about some of the songs he had written.
The horn player and the female backup singers are going crazy! I'm surprised they were able to walk offstage.....hey, wait a minute....WTF? Where are they? They must be somewhere with the cords for the bass & guitar players
My Mom bought me this single when I was 6, because it had my name in it, where it says "Alright Bobby Let's Go". Its one of my all time favorite songs, probably wore out 3 or 4 copies of the 45... Thank God for cds! LOL. This is the 1st TV footage I have seen of Boyce & Hart. Thanks for the post:-)
You gotta check out the Liverpool Five tune "She's" on U Tube. Boyce and Hart had heard that and wrote a different tune with almost the same title. The Monkees recorded in the same studio as the LP5 ( RCA in LA) and also that's where they first heard " I'm not your stepping stone" and decided to do their own version.
Bobby Hart looks like Louis Ruykeyser's kid...although I doubt you'd ever see the latter and late host of WSW in a red faux suede suit with a frilled shirt!
@bleahey what a foolish thing to say! Jessie Jackson is going to come on here and challenge your statement. While he is doing so, he will shake down youtube for money.
Thank you, this is fantastic. I remember in 1968 at the pool room, playing pool and hearing that song playing on the juke box, I just seemed to do better if it was playing loudly! : -) I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight.
@gazuaman ... They were one of a number of well known and talented songwriters who were enlisted to write songs for the Monkees ... such as Neil Diamond ( I'm A Believer ), John Stewart ( Daydream Believer ), and others. ... Wayne
Respond to this video... These two guys wrote most of "The Monkees" biggest hits, even though they, themselves, had only one or two songs that made it big. How about those dance moves in this video? Eh? Proof that us musicians make lousy dancers because we're too busy playing with the band to learn how to dance.
Yes, the song is a great catchy tune, no doubt about it, but ya gotta admit that their austin powers leisure suits are out of control. Is that what used to pass for normal? Please tell me those were meant for stage performances only. Please.
Why are they so happy when the song is about what your girlfriend is doing. Whatever. These guys were songwriting geniuses. And not only were they friends of Herb Alpert (the host in case you didn't recognize him), but his employees -- recording on his A&M label.
@yokai1968 HAHA Total Austin Powers; they ARE the era Austin supposedly came from! But I wouldn't "unfortunately" - those are 3 of the funniest movies of all time, IMHO.
@5050NM most 60s pop were guys tryin to look & sound like the beatles. as the beatles evolved & the rock/protest bands reined in, most of the pop/ bubblegum bands disolved/ even bobby darin couldnt cut it/ this is fun stuff tho . the best of this genra is /sugar sugar & na na hey hey goodye/ also monkees best of, as these guys wrote most of it. regards p.s. i think they all took it serious.
wonder how good the monkees woulde of been without these guys! guess we found out when ego nesmith fired don kirshner & wrote a song called/listen to the band/ then he realized that he alone destroyed the monkee machine,so he walked away with his fortune his mom left him from her invention of whiteout, the selfish ass! davy could sing tho.
@Jantv81 I meant no disrespect,I was drunk(not an excuse) but i was just joking about their clothes and I didn't realize that was Herb Alpert,he's high on my music influence list.He just seemed a bit like a used car salesman when he introduced B&H
@Syzygy60 Re: "I'm sry I shouldn't call these cupcakes,fruits"
50 years ago these clothes were the coolest of cool. Rest assured that 50 years from now someone will be checking out whatever you think is cool right now, and he'll think it's gay.
Ba ha haaa...the guitar intro starts a good 3-4 seconds before anyone starts "playing" their guitar :-D. I love this song but the lipsynching of the '60s was the lamest.
I knew Tommy Boyce, he was a good guy. He liked me mainly because I knew most of the songs he has written, especially the Monkey songs and when we drank together we would sing them. I was sad when he took his own life.
Thx for that link BellaGem444! You r right, Mr. Boyce is HOT in the Bewitched clip!! If he was here now or I was there then, I woulda been a Boyce and Hart groupie, lol. But only for Tommy! yummers.
GIVE ME A DUO LIKE THIS TODAY ????? NEVER HAPPEN THATS FOR SURE, THESE GUYS WERE DYNAMITE IN THEIR DAY AND THE SONGS TO LOVE 4 EVER, CHICKS, COLOUR,GROOVY CLOTHES, OH YEH, BRING IT ALL BACK AGAIN AS I DIGGED IT THE MOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@caprice6 To all you guys that wish you were "of age" in the 60s. Keep in mind there was a war going on and you may have been asked to participate. Over 50,000 that did are not here to watch youtube today, plus tens of thousands more that have passed since the war.
It's no stretch to imagine that's Chuck Findlay...this show was all A&M artists, and was hosted by Herb Alpert...The guitarist behind Boyce and Hart is Gerry McGee, who would join The Ventures shortly after this show.
@Foorehtnossip It looks like their lip syncing to me also when they start the music I wonder what she's doing tonight they aren't strumming the guitars to the music plus their guitars aren't plugged in
@garygve they're doing it we guess , but i just tuned in cuz i was wondering what my whore bitch wife who left me is/wasw doing that nite =-=- i still dont know ..but weird they did that fake shit way back then too , oh well , another 100 years we'll never know the difference , everybody is dieing
@mybloggroup At the 2:22 mark, Tommy practically does the same thing with the guitar. Later they do those "sissy" dance steps during the trumpet solo. Tommy should have kept playing the guitar and Bobby should have been playing a VOX keybord.
I hate lip synching, but I love this song. The one on the right (don't know if it's Boyce or Hart) is cute enough to have been a Monkee!! Why wasn't he?
This was pure pop bubblegum music at its best. There was a lot of great happy music on the radio through the 60's. What do we have today? - Lady Ga Ga and a Bad Romance.
Thanks you tube for giving us the opportunity to watch and hear all the old and fantastic 60's and 70's era's of some of the best music of all time. Gr8 to sit and listen to for hours. What is really scary is i remember the word's to this stuff and i am luvin' it.. Thanks
And I always thought it was just me who thought the best part of the song was "Alright Bobby, let's go"! Love those outfits & the dancing. This is great.
Hey Supernezzy if you want to see a real Austin Power lookalike watch Peter and Gordons I Go to Pieces video... I mean that is like who Mike Myers must have wanted to make his character look like. I love Peter and Gordon too .
at 2:13 you see the guy in red lose his balance. He was on drugs. And the horn solo..where are the hornists at 3:10..What's up with that? Haven't seen these guys on the oldies tour..not a wonder
So... who did that great guitar shred at opening of the song? At least the bass player fakes it really well. Great song! and come to think of it.....I wonder what she's doing tonight?
It was very common in the '60s for the song to be lip synched. Almost all the time on the Ed Sullivan show, the Smothers Brothers and the like, it was done. It would have been nice to see if performed live but that wasn't the way it was done then.
I recently viewed dozens of clips of 60s rock & pop groups on the Ed Sullivan show... and noticed that the majority, if not all of the performances, were actually "live". This was true all the way back to Elvis' first appearance on the legendary variety hour. Sometimes they used a backing recording with live vocals only.
You are correct about that but many were lip synched because they wanted the music to sound like the recorded song. When I was watching them "live" in the sixties, I wanted to hear it like the record.
Geat Song writers. Is hard to beleive its been 45 years. Still have ALL my 45's and LP's including this one.

Absolutely Awesome. Gotta love the dance
routine at 3:10. Tommy Boyce's Green Velour
suit is so fabulous! He kinda reminds me of
the lead singer of The Monkees.

And I always thought it was just me who thought the best part of the song was "Alright Bobby, let's go"! Love those outfits & the dancing. This is great.

Hey Supernezzy if you want to see a real Austin Power lookalike watch Peter and Gordons I Go to Pieces video... I mean that is like who Mike Myers must have wanted to make his character look like. I love Peter and Gordon too .

at 2:13 you see the guy in red lose his balance. He was on drugs. And the horn solo..where are the hornists at 3:10..What's up with that? Haven't seen these guys on the oldies tour..not a wonder

tommy boyce passed away in 1994, bobby hart out of respect for his writing partner has refused to capitalize on his friends past.....

Their costumes remind me of the "Raiders" except for the breeches. A little Revolutionary action going on! They were very talented!

So... who did that great guitar shred at opening of the song? At least the bass player fakes it really well. Great song! and come to think of it.....I wonder what she's doing tonight?

It was very common in the '60s for the song to be lip synched. Almost all the time on the Ed Sullivan show, the Smothers Brothers and the like, it was done. It would have been nice to see if performed live but that wasn't the way it was done then.

I recently viewed dozens of clips of 60s rock & pop groups on the Ed Sullivan show... and noticed that the majority, if not all of the performances, were actually "live". This was true all the way back to Elvis' first appearance on the legendary variety hour. Sometimes they used a backing recording with live vocals only.
slimshine953 2 years ago
You are correct about that but many were lip synched because they wanted the music to sound like the recorded song. When I was watching them "live" in the sixties, I wanted to hear it like the record.
