[awwhellnogadammit]

[BeatleMonkeegirl15]

boop boop sha-boop ramalamIMGONNABUYMEADOG!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!! LOL

[theMonkeeslover]

I'm guessing that this is a dirty song ;)

[beatlefan157333]

@theMonkeeslover how do you figure that??? i see this as an innocent sixties song. nothing bad.

[beatlefan157333]

also at the end they copy something that doctor demento did on one of his records

they're coming to take me away!!

[beatlefan157333]

ha ha this is more of a conversation than a song!

[popeye152]

How now? Brown COW! :)

[paloma598]

lol micky and davy are dorks.

thats why there my favorites ;

:D <3

[GordosMama1111]

monkees = highly underrated and under-appreciated :-( sigh 

[TheMonkeesRock]

You shouldve wrote the lyrics in your own words cuz its longer and it says 'babe' not 'say' I have the lyrics ill post the link when i postg them on a website

[O7ROADKING]

Wow i forgot all about this song Great song love it thanks for posting. i wanna see if my neck leaks hhahaa

[Thadesgal]

The Monkees were great. Their TV show was so off the cuff...! In one episode, they were being held by the "bad guys" and one bad guy says, "Okay, boys, I want you all to talk turkey!" Well, you can guess what they all did...Then they'd get loose and a song would break out! It was like a comedic Infomercial to plug their latest songs! But it was great!

[tashawawa]

@Thadesgal Whats so awsome about the monkeys is that they spawned so much. They had their own show and now adays look how many boy band shows there are.

[BreeZ0701]

Davy: they're coming to take us away! Haha! Hehe! Hoho!

[boulbonk]

can someone tell me the story of that song ? is it improv ? what is it exactly. all i know is that its awesome !

[xenglishqueen]

@boulbonk From what I read on sleeve notes, the boys thought the song was so stupid when they heard it that they could not help but make fun of it.

[flightonenine]

@lovethemflowers it was Paul

[lovethemflowers]

Wasn't it Ringo who sang Rocky Raccoon anyway, and not John Lennon?

[karaokecrush]

I love this song

[muffinsshoes44]

i remember when i was 9 and my dog ran away and my mom bought me the cassette of this song :P and im actually 20 now haha and i love the monkees!

[TheJune1955]

I love this song. I was so in love with the monkey's when I was young.

[TabithaClaire]

Funniest song ever! This is a real charmer and day-brightener. Thanks!

[ZodiacDyn03]

These guys make me wish I was in the 60's! Oh how I love these guys :]

[papillonaquatique]

"You can't teach a dog to do that you can only train elephants!"

*lol*

Micky didn't have any reply to that one! :D

[MrDowntowndelray]

i already have a dog-how about a cat

[runly1]

One person has a neck that leaks. =)

[Golnax]

My friend described this song as "The most awkward song he had ever heard"... i think agree with him.

[ArielsPhotog]

I love how Davy trails off a little Napolian the XIVth at the very end... They're coming to take me away... ha haaa.

[Grouchomx]

Classic!

[ohiocowboypoet]

"ahhhhh WHISPER!" haha, I love that...

[CanYouSayCrazy96]

hahaahah (':

[willmagcha]

"I want to see if my neck leaks"

My favorite line from this song.

[cookmoore]

"They're gonna take me away...hee hee ho ho ha ha..."

[cookmoore]

"It was already ruined before it was wrote." :D

[cgarbiano]

@carriwithac She invented White Out

[jayne1969able]

These guys were so funny

[katylin900]

lol everytime i listen to this I CRACK MY SELF

[DarkWolf77]

@katylin900

that sounds really painful

[katylin900]

lol me and mom acted like davy and mickey and were like WERE GONNA BUYS US A DOG NOW SHUT UP

[1mad9026]

lol, this is soooo funny. micky and davy are always fun to watch and listen to

[Beatnikzombie]

When I was a kid, I used to listen to this 45 over and over again.

[prcoolsoccer]

Haha when they say, "I'd buy a raccoon, but John already has one" are they talking about John Lennon, and Rocky Raccoon?

[Inuyashafan5677]

@prcoolsoccer Yush they are =)

[prcoolsoccer]

@Inuyashafan5677 Thanks! And that's pretty fricken sweet

[TonyT074]

@prcoolsoccer actualy they couldnt be talking about John Lennon and "Rocky Racoon" since this song was released in 1966 and "Rocky Racoon" wasnt out until 1968. from what i understand they were refering to John London, a friend of Nesmith's who had at that time had purchased a racoon.i could be wrong though.

[Inuyashafan5677]

@TonyT074 Oh wow, I always thought he was talking about John Lennon and 'Rocky Racoon' I never knew they were talking about a friend because since the Monkees are usually tied together with the Beatles and all. Thanks for my correction my friend =)

[wonamus]

@Inuyashafan5677 I believe it refers to John Phillips and his coon skin hat

[wonamus]

@Inuyashafan5677 I believe it refers to John Phillips and his coonskin hat but not for sure.

[briney1973]

@Inuyashafan5677 john didn't even write rocky racoon. it was pauls song

[orion1954]

@Inuyashafan5677 Even so, it would be Paul's raccoon, not John's. :)

[seanla38]

@TonyT074 no this couldnt have come out in 66 this is from the last monkees album released before they regrouped back in the mid 80s this song came out in like 72 or 73

[TonyT074]

@seanla38 no this song is from the Monkees debut album released in October 1966. it was featured during the first season as well.

[rockkitty100]

@prcoolsoccer The Racccon comment comes from Mike Nesmith's first band where his band mate John London, actually had a pet raccoon.

[lalabean101]

"I need a glass of water."

"Why? You thirsty?"

"No, I want to see if my neck leaks."

[mrslug07]

after this track they wasn't allowed to record together again lol

[auntysheila]

it would come springing from my lips!!!

[smr61754]

This song always cracks me up!!!

[kittykat8905]

Remember hearing this song about a year ago when my sister bought the 2 tv series on dvd and this song was one of the episodes. It's one of my favourite songs by the band as it makes me laugh so much. Oh yea, and...

BOING! BOING! BOING! X]

[reprobacious]

My favorite line was always "But I can't teach a dog to do THAT!"

[catperson1966]

I love the Monkees !!  They are so much better than the Beetles !!

[PAULLONDEN]

@catperson1966

In your wet dreams.

[LittleD3]

@catperson1966 Nice Spelling of Beatles, can tell your a trooper fan.

[beatlegreg07]

@catperson1966 seriously, come on, seriously, seriously, come on, seriously. atleast spell beatles properly

[00WolfSpirit]

@catperson1966 You are correct. *hugs* Fuck the haters here. Yea you spelled the Beatles wrong but if the people here wanna whine that they don't agree they should take it onto a beatles song comments page. Otherwise shut their traps and get away from the Monkees

[geekgirl45]

@catperson1966 Apples and Oranges. And it's The Beatles. - I love them both for totally different reasons.

[8jojobeans]
