The Monkees - Last Train To Clarksville

[rosaleenhkerry]

I think Davy Jones was a first crush for many people from different generations, I am 21 and he was my first crush, RIP x

[JNIX1010]

Mickey actually has a really nice voice.

[870Rem12gauge]

Hey, Hey, it's the MonkeeMobile!

[htwhls00]

just lost another part of my childhood

[brooksbearsfootball]

RIP DAVY JONES! :(

[MyGallery3000]

My very first 45rpm single!

[sus722]

I remember seeing this video on the tv show in the 60's. This was a great song.

[PacificCircle1]

Sucker went straight to number one!

I liked it too when it came out! Good bye Davie!

[1973bugml]

I remember watching the Monkees show with my older sister. I was five. I believe she had a crush on Davy. I also remember he appeared on the Brady Brunch as himself. He was so cute. Rest in peace.

[cowlipz]

Thanks Davy .......forgive me for stealing

[Eplattor]

Part of my youth has died. RIP Davey

[870Rem12gauge]

He caught the last train to Clarksville. Rest easy, friend.

[onethreeabc]

Rest in Peace Davy Jones!!

Yeah, they were one of the very first precursors to the boy bands, Britney Spears/J'Lo, and other "manufactured celebrities." Watching a lot of their old videos, you can often see they're not really playing the guitars (which usually weren't even plugged in), and Mickey's drumsticks are barely moving. Sometimes they're "singing" without mikes, even. Later they started some of their own stuff, but it quickly faded. That being said, they represented a nicer, more innocent era, missed by many.

[Mavrick284]

@Osmigo1 Technically speaking they were also a "manufactured celebrity" Band. They were all chosen for their looks (and some musical ability) for a TV show. That being said it was a much better time when things wern't "whored out" like todays "celebrities"

Don't get me wrong, I loved the Monkees, they were my first favorite band and I've seen every show they've made.

[Paperbackwriter128]

I miss you so much Davy! May you rest in peace.

[pixelfascination]

RIP fellow Mancunian lad, you'll be dearly missed old son.

[RepubesRstupid]

[muddgroove]

R.I.P. Davy! You got to go out doing what you Loved! Singing and being on Tour!

[midgetgirl5]

[DemonWarp65]

When I was a kid, I would spend whatever weekdays I had off watching old tv shows on the box. One of my favorites was The Monkees. Thank you Davy for making my childhood a little happier. RIP.

[MRMadman313]

[luckylee99]

you know whats the best about Davey Jones, may he R.I.P., the Monkees was about each one of them as an individual, that is what made them the best. Thanks for being apart of a piece of my life. Hope the new generation learns from Davey,and Mickey, Mike and Peter.

[soulcornflake1]

I know they're all around the same age, but somehow it just seems wrong to think of Davy going first. He's always going to be that cute kid, you know?

RIP Davy Jones!!

[MsBronco1]

I loved the monkees god bless u davey rest n peace

[odiemodie1]

Sadden Davy Jones passed away, now the music as well the entertainment world has lost another iconic performer that has enriched our lives. He was the face of a free-loving generation, a time we took on life with great zest and appeal...

Davy Jones has taken the last train to Clarksville... for one last time... bless you and good bye Davy, we will miss you.

[zelda839]

Reast in peace Davey

Thanks Davy for all the good humour and fun times when I was a kid in the Canadian 60's. Condolences to his U.K. family members and his wife.

[870Rem12gauge]

Yes, I grew up with zany Monkees also. They all had a different look to them.

Rest easy, Davy. We all enjoyed the show and music.

[peacefulblonde39]

RIP Davy Jones! 

[stormy32316]

RIP Davy...thanks for the music and the laughs

[007cherrry]

Love the monkees my fav is Micky :-)

[LogicShadow]

I bet none of you know that the opening riff was done by Louis Shelton from The Wrecking Crew

[870Rem12gauge]

Mickey Dolenz had the best voice in the band, though Davy Jones's voice could also be called best. A close tie.

[ranran19701]

Mike was a good guitar player, but Jerry McGee (The Ventures) played those riffs.

[1965mlayers1965]

3 people missed the train.

[Beatles1965Fan]

i finally found this song. i heard it on the radio one year ago. :D

[persevere67]

I loved this show when i was a kid, would watch every day after school, that was in 1976, the 70's were the best.

[cinematic35]

@DatingGameKiller I saw the Monkees live some years back without Mike who is a talented guitar player. What impressed me was how Peter played the keyboard part to

"The Girl that I Knew Somewhere" exact to the record and Mickey's voice was so powerful that it hurt my head in that arena. On another note I have to say this. When we took a break and went outside I saw the more lovely ladies on that parking lot (thousands) than any other time in my life!

[tinamango1]

THE MONKEES ARE THE BEST. I LOVE PETER SO MUCH.

I WISH I MEET PETER TORK .

[BeatlesFanGirl11]

I saw a reference to this song in a cartoon (Phineas and Ferb)the episode was called,"Last Train to Bustville"I got really happy when I noticed it.:D

[robertplattbell1]

People called them the pre-fab 4, but the Monkees did have real talent and wrote some of their own material. And they did struggle to get recognition and to be taken seriously.

[psi4rick]

I remember the battle of the bands on Radio KOMA out of Oklahoma City. The Beatles and the Monkees in the final.....And the winner....THE MONKEES!!!! such memories

[DatingGameKiller]

I wasn't mocking the Monkees! I like them...always have.

[Multiacman]

@DatingGameKiller I know you're a fellow fan, otherwise you wouldn't post here! I commented to direct the thread to sources of facts. The story of The Monkees is a fascinating one. As a kid, I just loved them - no questions asked.  Being brought up in Liverpool everyone told me The Monkees were just a Beatles rip-off and I shouldn't like them. What's wrong with liking music and a fun programme, I asked? My favourite song? - Pleasant Valley Sunday - great riff & vocals!

[DatingGameKiller]

@Multiacman ...Thank you Multiacman. The TV show was a bit corny, story/plotwise. But I always loved the song scenes. To me, The Monkees represented a lighter side of the pop/rock scene from their time. Their music was fun and catchy...Pleasant Valley Sunday is indeed a great tune.

[DatingGameKiller]

@John1948NineC ...My comment was actually a quote from a TV documentary interview from Mickey Dolenz. Not at all "hard to understand". They might have had musical talent before being cast for the show, but they were not an actual band.

[DatingGameKiller]

@DatingGameKiller ...I guess I should rephrase: Musicians turned TV actors, becoming an actual band...much like Starsky & Hutch becoming real cops. More better now?

[kimmerbuzz]

Their haircuts were no worse than some of the hair styles we have now

[Multiacman]

@DatingGameKiller - check out Wikipedia. Both Tork and Nesmith were - and are - accomplished musicians. People assume they couldn't play because the TV bosses wouldn't let them!

[rf396]

@Multiacman That BOSS would be Don Kirschner

[DatingGameKiller]

@Multiacman .. Yes I know. see my other replies...it was intended to be a tongue-in-cheek kind of comment, but has turned out to be a foot-in-mouth kind instead. Thanks, though.

[FvckIran]

@DatingGameKiller They were musicians first. Mickey did have to learn the drums, he was a guitarist before. Davy could play some drums but he was too short to see him back there. Which is probably why he stands if he does any drumming like on Randy Scouse Git. I know I've said to much sry.

[DatingGameKiller]

@FvckIran ..thanks. I wasn't being degrading to the Monkees. I actually watched the show a lot when I was a kid, and I still like some of their music. See my reply to John1948nineC.

[abrahamblea]

One of my favorite Monkee songs! XD

[lalobeatguerrero]

jack black is a monkee hahahahaha

[tinamango1]

ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY THE MONKEES COMES ON

[BeatlesFanGirl11]

@tinamango1 What channel?You mean it's still on?

[coffeelover56]

So clean ah yesteryear

[ironman5454]

Always wondered who came up with that a typical use of that hi hat 'shoop' ? Nice touch and it shows some thought went into these songs.

[MrJocko1991]

way to go my childhood

[shambaby]

The movie HEAD, is actually a good film with high ratings by today's reviewers. It bombed at the time due to a very weak promotion. It's unusual, but it is entertaining and interesting.

[missconcorde]

my favourite with "I am a believer." Great Music !

[gyabki]

Louie Shelton's wonderful guitar!!

[slmacph]

Seemed the guy who wore a toque rarely smiled. :-/

[bringbackreagan1]

wow! i haven't seen this clip since it was on saturday mornings back in the late 60's. puff n stuff, banana splits and all the great cartoons back then! thanks for reigniting wonderful memories of my childhood

[cinematic35]

@bringbackreagan1 yeah I remember the Banana splits and Jack Wild (Puff & Stuff)cause my sister always watch them. I remember having my Star Trek model on top of the refrigerator so I could look at it whenever I walked by. Those were the last of the good-o'l-days and they are not coming back! It was a simpler and a better American than we have today!

[commonman80]

@bringbackreagan1, Yep...

[walmartcartman]

good music thanks for putting it on

[t69gto]

Awesome!

[SuperLadySusan]

I love you............Like Five Star Ferrets, FB, Susan.

[ihkaraka]

Os Monkees foram uma das bandas que ajudaram a formar o cenario dos anos 60 mas creio q por aqui nao tiveram grande divulgação...mas gosto das suas musicas apesar dos meus 32 anos!!

[luvs2cuddles]

wow... Loved Peter Tork... thanks... for the memories..

[luvs2cuddles]

Memories ... I still have this album..

[theMonkeeslover]

I love them .

[DoctorBohr]

never heard of them

[DAEDESIGNS]

[VeggieBlu]

Going to see them perform tonight at the Fox theater in Detroit - 45th reunion tour!

[EmanHohn]

@VeggieBlu I live in Saginaw and Im just now figuring this out!? UGH!

[theMonkeeslover]

I am just in love with this song!

[cosg9531]

This single has now sold 65 million copies worldwide. It finally surpassed "Rock Around the Clock" in single sales.

[chilllydoggy]

america's answer to the british invasion. the secret weapon was hollywood and they knew how to use it...

[legopfw620]

i thought there were 5 of them

[cosg9531]

@legopfw620 There were, originally. After Barry was killed on set in an accident the first week of filming, they decided to simply leave it a foursome.

[urbanexplorer1996]

@cosg9531 what was berrys last name !?

[mcleanartists]

James Burton's greatest work!

[O7ROADKING]
