Only two members of the band actually played instruments and were "real" musicians Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork...the other two were merely actors...Mickey Dolenz and Davy Jones. Unfortunately, the two who played nothing got all the attention, and maybe that was the plan all along. I only know that the MONKEES brought Paisley Shirts to the foreground and French sleeves and cuffs were the rage. If you looked like Davy Jones or Mickey Dolenz back then, you got ACTION.....BIG TIME....
This Michael Nesmith composition was not released as a single until 1968, when, backed with "What am I Doing Hanging Round?" from "Pieces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Jones, Limited" reached #3 in Australia and gave them their final top ten hit Down Under. Incidentally both albums were still enjoying success on the Aussie album charts!
Here again this is the music of my high school years, I was in a band called the Many Few and we played this song at all our appearances. Whooo.... too many memories coming back to me.......
I saw them years ago in a suburb of Chicago, but Mike wasn't with the band. There were so many people in the outdoor theatre that thousands of people bought "grass" seats to sit on the grass hill behind the seats. Only it rained, so the grass was wet mud. And we STOOD elbow to elbow, the whole concert, and were so far up that they were almost microsopic. It was well worth it. Wish I could see the latest tour. I went with my Dad; he is now passed on but we had such a great time.
i love the monkees - don't understand why they never got as popular as so many other bands - look at the animals for example - couple of songs - the monkees have dozens!
@hotmn4u - i listen to it and gil scott heron said anytime people cannot understand something they try to destroy it .you cannot do it right?so whatever you say makes zero sense.
I'm 26 and I would love to take my friends to their concert so they can hear real music and realize that what their hearing today is because of groups like this. Without real talent, instraments and real convtroversy suroundingthembecause it wasn't classical or the 50s pop or because they were singing of the times that was going on with the war and such, there wouldn't be people today singing their songs with such freedom as they do now.
@Kevin19700 "I still have my original album (bought in Mill Valley, CA), from 1967. It has held up pretty well over the decades!"
I have my original album (which was bought in San Anselmo's Village Music in CA) from the same time. I still have my first Beatles record, a small 45rpm with Rain on one side, and on the flip side the song was Paperback Writer. Both records still survive. Tell me, what was the name of the record store in Mill Valley? (I forgot). Take care! :)
OMG!!!!... THIS REALLY MAKES ME FEEL LIKE DANCING ... THE SOUL.... whoever remember those years when THE SOUL dance was very popular ha ha ha... I just couldn't believe like I am in my High school days.
this song brings back so goog memeries.I was 14 and i rember bying this same alblum. Beleive me i was going out with a girl named U guest it mary and we played that song over and over. I agree what that girl said about the monkees being in the R A R H O F.today my wife and i still play that song. Power 2 U monkeeys and those wonderfull 60s.Mikey
"Mary, mary, tell me truly, what did I do to make you leave me? Whatever it was I didn't mean to, you know I never would try and hurt ya. Mary, mary, where you going to?"
A recent poster -- may or may not post here -- accused me of being an idiot & asinine for thinking blues artists covered The Monkees. So for the record: "Mary Mary" written by Mike Nesmith -- a Monkee -- (Paul Butterfield credited him); "Take A Giant Step" - by Carole King-Gerry Goffin credited & sung by Taj Mahal; "Last Train to Clarksville" written by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart (the original Monkees musicians on the first album) credited by Cassandra Wilson. I rest my case. Do the research.
@giles422 - Giles - it's just pisses me off that few people don't know the true origins of songs. Cassandra Wilson, Taj Mahal & Butterfield Blues Band turned versions of Monkees songs into blues classics. Look at what Coltrane did to the Sound of Music's "My Favorite Things;" Miles Davis & Coltrane's "My Funny Valentine." Folkies the Kingston Trio (1961) recorded "It Was A Very Good Year" BEFORE Sinatra did. Or the Jewish teacher's poem Strange Fruit that Billie Holiday sung into a prayer.
There are a few Monkees songs that are now standards for blues artists. Most of us know in '66 the Paul Butterfield Blues Band covered "Mary,Mary." But Taj Mahal covered "Take A Giant Step," & Cassandra Wilson did the "Last Train to Clarksville." The Monkees may not have written some but they recorded them first. So? Why are blues artists listening to The Monkees? I guess The Monkees were a good source of material. I think those songs are all terrific too. R&R Hall of Fame.....wake up.
and the elitist jerks ath R&R Hall of Fame think they are too cool to allow the Monkees into the Hall. Fine, they can have their self-congratulatory B.S. and live in a joke of a world. Idiots.
The Monkees were the first band I saw in concert at aged 11. Yeah they had a big pre teen following, but they were good. This stuff holds up. I mean, Nesmith sold this song to the Butterfield Blues Band before The Monkees recorded it. If Paul Butterfield thought it was good, then it was good. When will people realise how good a writer Nesmith was?
I cannot believe the dumb ***'es that run the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame cannot get it through their heads that The Monkees belong there!! They were the first 'video band' in history, their music is still just as listenable today as it was in the 60's. They had a lot of really good songs! And they are way more well known and loved than a lot of the stupid people that they've bothered to induct. It's just unbelievable. Who is running that joint, anyway??....
I bought this album when it came out, I was 13, within a year everyone in the 8th grade made fun of it and called it bubble-gum music, and like a good sheep I went along and called it crap , but now, 45 years later I realize THIS SHIT ROCKS !!!!
@TheJomogogo yeah this was a time of musical snobbery with pop music versus 'serious' music. Pretty stupid when music is about feeling good. I like the cream, jefferson airplane etc but the monkess rocked too
I have the album in the basement. But I cant find my car keys. Why. I havent had my keys as long as this album. Could you imagine if they got back togeater. Davy why cant you remeber the words to this song. Mikey didnt you bring your reading glasses. Mike did you not wear your depends again.
OMG - THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS CLASSIC DANCE TRACK, WHICH LIKE MOST OF THE 60s DANCE CLASSICS WAS REGRETTABLY TOO SHORT. RELEASED AS A SINGLE IN AUSTRALIA, BUT NOT U.S. OR U.K. WHENEVER I PLAY THIS IT IS ALWAYS A CROWD PLEASER BUT ALWAYS USE 2 COPIES! DAVEDJ
That's cute; I used to date a girl named Valerie who absolutely worshipped that song by the Monkees (and also "Valerie" by Steve Winwood). My name's Hank, so I'm not holding my breath that Lady GaGa or somebody will do a song with my name lol.
i like this record/cd butHeadquaters is my fave the monkees deserve to be in the rock and roll hall of fame and mike is hot peter is adorable davys cute and mickys cute thur all HOT!!! <3
@naganokumas -- a good reference site for this kind of thing is second hand songs. Was there anyone else before the Monkees on this song? Well, yes and no: Mike Nesmith wrote it, but it was released by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band the year before it was released by the Monkees.
@naganokumas Michael Nesmith wrote this song before he joined The Monkees. It was first recorded by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band on the East-West album on Elektra in 1966.
Monkees' drummer Micky Dolenz sang lead on this.
Run-DMC covered this in 1988 on their album Tougher Than Leather. They did a rap version with the chorus changed to "Mary Mary, why you buggin'?" DAVEDJ
They're currently doing a 45th anniversary tour. You should look up the tour dates and see if they'll be in your area. Mike's not with them, as usual, but this time Peter's back in the fold, and they put on such a great stage show!
@meandemjay Actually,Glen Campbell is playing lead guitar on this track.This was before The Monkees were allowed to play their own instruments on the records.
Strange thing about this album---it contains examples of both the best and the worst of the Monkees. This is one of the best; "Hold On Girl" is among the worst.
@sneezepal You got that right! "Auntie Grizzelda" and "On the Day We Fall in Love" can be added to the "worst" list. "Mary, Mary", "Laugh", "Not Your Stepping Stone", and "I'm a Believer" are gold!
@sneezepal A lot of Jones songs fall into the worst catagory. 'When love comes knocking on your door' is another horror from this album. This is a classic though

@sneezepal A lot of Jones songs fall into the worst catagory. 'When love comes knocking on your door' is another horror from this album. This is a classic though
