They were all so handsome. I remember watching this and thinking shes so lucky to be dancing with all of them. I miss those days of my youth. RIP Davy and God Bless Mcky Peter and Mike
Mike could play guitar but I just can't for the life of me figure out why the others never learned how to play. Anyone can easily see that nobody else can play an instrument.
@gassy4sure Pete and Mike were both accomplished, self-supporting musicians before being hired for the show. Pete actually plays 12 instruments, including keyboards, guitar, bass, French horn, and the harp. I've seen him in concert, and he blew us away. See the Monkees video "Then and Now".
@stratocastergirl I agree, In fact Mike has often said Pete was better on guitar than he was...also Davy was a competent drummer but the shows producers wanted him to be front man early on and they thought he couldnt be seen behind the drum kit. Mickey was actually the least musical of the 4 but he did have "the signature voice" of the Monkees that's why Mike and Pete had him sing a lot of their compositions....
@decemberschild1217 Yes, he has one of the best, all-around pop and rock voices in the business. I liked his voice better than Davy's, but both of them were excellent. I've seen Micky play acoustic guitar and percussion instruments in concert, and he's very good in that genre.
@gassy4sure Not so. Peter Tork was a fine musician long before the Monkees, on many instruments, and played with Crosby, Stills and others before the show. Micky learned to play a decent drums by this time. Davy was a vocalist with an album released before the Monkees arrived.
The best? "Sometime in the Morning" is the BEST of ALL of their songs. "For Pete's Sake" is really good.... "Shades of Gray".... the more popular ones were ok..."I'm a Believer", etc...You should all listen to Sometime In the Morning... others..top of my head... SHE... Mary Mary.... Little Bit of Me, Little Bit of You... (that's a Davy song, actually)... "Daydream Believer" is awesome, but I believe someone else did it first...can't remembe whom...
Mke kind of messed things up...seemed to have this need to tell everybody that they were not doing their own instruments.... as time passed, they did learn. should have left a good thing alone. I was only 9, but I tell you...I was into the MUSIC....the show was ok, but I thought it was silly back then even. The music was outstanding.....they should put it all back in print and re-sell it. My old Monkees albums have disappeared, I'm sure, but I still remember these tunes.
I used to close my eyes when I was young and pretend Davy was dancing with ME... Rest in peace Davy, such a lovely English gentleman who will be deeply missed.
the Beatles had tanks (on my channel), the Monkees also needed protection. they were used as "idols" (an old commercial religious tactic), and as "teen bait" for sick people. so if like George Bush has a poster in his closet of Michael Jackson walking backwards, or of Arnold Schwarzenegger all lubricated in his shorts, we should not play at Georgie's white house any more: we should but indict him for promotion of an infectuous sex act ("same sex marriage"). - james mcashan for the US Senate
this was one of the sweetest songs...I loved seeing the boys being gentlemen..and yes, I have morphed into the old lady too! was about 7 when I first saw this and wishing I could dance with all 4 of them!
One of my favorites, and this scene is so poignant. I'm sure that the nine-year-old 'me' that saw this episode didn't appreciate it like I do now. Thanks for posting.
Wow, does time just race by or what?! I can remember this like it was yesterday and I think I was only 9, or 10.
So hard to believe Davey is gone. RIP dude, you (and years of his performances beyond this of course) and the boys put allot of smiles on allot of faces!
Oh ... this fricking clip with this song is just tooo cute. It put me in tears. I'm that women today, listening to that song. She's from the Brawny quicker picker upper commercial. Last thing at 1:46, I always hear that line to be "and you'll need no underwear".
I personally thought this was major highlight in this comedy series. This segment of the film stepped away the zaniness, wild comical humor of the show and stepped into a serious feel for a moment of a woman fantasizing of here younger days dancing with them to the song. I was highly impressed with it. It was nice to know that even though rare, they stepped away for a moment to make this lady happy with a nice song.
Does anyone know who the young woman is? My guess: Nurit Wilde, the mother of Jason Nesmith. She's a photographer – and was a part-time actress in the '60s and '70s who met the Monkees while on assignment.
@TonyHickschick - Hello. Yes, Davy is missed already. However, I'm so grateful that we have these films to remind us of how much JOY he & the other 3 brought us, such as this very "dreamy" tune. Even though Davy isn't on lead vocals here - it counts. PS - I'm glad Tony is still here & still making music. Best Wishes to You. PEACE, ALL.
I wa a migrant workers child,and the one freedom I was allowed was being able to walk from the fields every saturday morning to watch the Monkees on t.v,I had to stay in the fields an extra half hour to make up for my lost time,but it was SOOOOOOO worth it to me,am SOOO saddened to hear of the loss of Davy Jones,he was such an important part of my life,I lost MY Elvis.
@pittypat98223 I can't even say how much your words meant to me when you said you "lost MY Elvis". It just seemed to put everything into perspective. i guess I lost MY Elvis, too. Rest in peace, Mr. Jones
Saturday mornings with the Monkees. Sweet times gone by. Kids today can never experience what we were so fortunate to have back then. They were so funny and so clean, unlike the horrific lyrics of today.
My chilhood was so beautiful, and part of that were The Monkees, so great memories when the world was so innocent, thank you Micky, Mike, Peter and Davy for all those wonderful songs and great times of pure fun,you make me a believers since I was 8 years old..
Davy RIP God bless your soul forever, you will stay in our hearts forever!
@auntbecky - Hello. Yes, after first hearing the news of Davy's departure, I was too. However, listening to these lovely songs & watching the fun on the TV shows reminds me that, as Bob Dylan said, as long as we keep our minds active, we can all stay FOREVER YOUNG! Best Wishes and PEACE TO YOU!
R.I.P. Davy. You will be missed by true Monkees fans like me. I have the entire catalog on CD now and love listening to it almost daily. Cheer up sleepy Jean.......
DAVY is not dead, he lives FOREVERMORE in our hearts, our minds, our souls, our memories, in syndication, his voice rings in my head forevermore......
THE MONKEES affected US ALL for life.... and then some. GOD BLESS the monkees!
@tadsharpe Beautiful. although it was not my fave group or show, i did enjoy watching, they were funny. I think that same sentiment can be felt for Mr. Rogers, MJ, and Whitney. Boy am I going to cry when the adult cast members of Sesame Street die. I think Dick Clark's death will be hard too.
One year my older brother and his family were visiting his oldest daughter then 16 now in her thirties just discovered the Monkees. We drove her father crazy playing their music over and over. Although she was totally amazed that they were old enough to be around when her ancient aunt was a young girl. :) Thanks guys for helping to bridge the generations. RIP Davy the heavenly choir just got a little sweeter.
The Monkees were like the Beatles for all the tv watching kids back then. I loved their world, playing music in their house. Rest in peave Davey Jonesxx
I woke t this sad comment, Davy Jones is dead...I shall always remember him as my first crush, sitting by the record player. No we didn't know their actual skills, or the skills of the writers...in this case this song was written by Carole King.
RIP DAVY JONES...I was first introduced to the Monkees in the late 80s when I was only 10 or so..my baby sitter would record the monkees episodes that they would regurlary play in the 80s and I used to love when the band would start playing...Monkees and Davy Jones will always be part of my life....Thnks for the music Davy,
In the years that followed, The Monkees' music would gain considerable acceptance. They made great pop records with Donnie, and without him, their records provided an interesting look at each individual Monkees musical taste. Michael Nesmith has been called one of the forefathers of country rock, and his solo country-rock albums have all been lauded and praised by Rolling Stone Magazine, Q, and Mojo as classics.The Monkees emerged as pioneers of music videos.
This is my all time favorite song and the way they created the scene... priceless.. especially the look on Mike's face... he's just seems so sad. Makes ya wanna hug the stuffin' out of him
I remember groing up with this song. one of my all time favorite Mickey Dolenz vocals. Like butter it's so smooth. Only now do we realize the talent of both The Monkees and the writers they had with them. They truly don't make quality songs like this any more. So innocent and with meaning. Thanks for posting this classic!
Wonderful memories - they all looked so handsome in those suits. We'll miss you, Davy.
