Boyce and Hart wrote several songs for the Monkees. I was in the 5th grade i think when this song came out. I had a crush on a girl in my class. We fooled around a bit at school when no one was watching but couldn't get near her after school etc. Because of my parents and hers. This song would come one and i would sing the hell out of it with a tear or two running down my cheeks. Sadly, she moved and it took awaile but i got over her but this song is one that remains in my heart. I remember her.
Not only did they write for them, they teamed up with two of them later after Peter and Mike left to pursue other interests. Look for the album titled Dolenz, Jones, Boyce, and Hart.
I was best friends with Bill Lewis 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. Bill was a great frind and I miss him dearly, but it is great to see him and listen to the music here!
I think if you've were born anywhere from about 1945-1975 you were somewhere in the prime of great music. There may be a little bleed over into earlier years and later years depending on the parents of those born during those years...
60's, 70's, 80's were tops. Music turned to absolute crap around 1995 IMO with a sharp decline starting in 1988 or so.
Are there gems that exist still? Sure. (I like matchbox 20, maroon 5). People WILL NOT be reflecting back on Lil Wayne with nostalgia in 20yrs
I love this song! I don't normally comment on videos, but 21 dislike this? A classic great tune, whats to dislike? Its not Kanye? You 21 need to get off the internet before you make it worse
We loved these songs throughout our youth, but I am finally realizing after all these years that we didn't love them enough! If your a baby boomer like myself, these songs can really zone you in on a particular month and year when these songs were hits. This song was popular in early 1968, I hear this song and think of my classmate Patty G. in my freshman year in high school. We never suspected the impact these songs would have nostalgia wise some 40 odd years late in life.
These guys were great song writers for other artists. This is a great song. You don't hear many songs today that use a lot of horns like they did in the sixties.
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.
@luv2aptnz ~ My all-time favorite Monkees' recording (Daydream Believer) was written by former Kingston Trio member John Stewart. Stewart's brother, Mike, played with Bev Bivens and We Five.
I used to wonder what Cynthia was doing while I was in Vietnam. She was having a good time with some other guys; which is what she should have done, because there was no guarantee I was coming home. Oh well. I came home and found another girl.
Were these guys cool or what? Take a very close look at Bobby Hart's footwork. I believe he landed on the moon and walked decades before Michael Jackson ever did his moonwalk.
Could someone explain to me why he doesn't exactly want to be with her in this song if in fact they are so close? Is it simply because he can't ruin a friendship? Or he never thought the girl was his friend in the first place... You think the lryics tranlates to he could love her or only friends forever?
My best years, honestly, were in this window. I can tell you that, when a Boyce & Hart written song came on the radio ~ there was not a still pair of feet in the joint!
@KREEPNASTY1 It's true that Neil Diamond wrote many Monkees songs, but if you google "Last Train to Clarksville" you'll find that it was written by Boyce and Hart.
I have always loved this song...Somebody needs to get on the ball and start cleaning up some of these old classics. They are starting to sound muffled now.
@valerysgirl no, they're the same, it's just you that's getting older. you know, i'm not trying to hurt you, but it's probably you are starting to loose some of your hearing.... you know, from all those loud conserts you went to? ..... :) i think i'm gunna go listen to physcotic reaction while i still can. hear.
@m1kewithaone ....My hearing is fine...I wasn't even born yet when these bands wered playing. I think that some of these old songs need cleaning up...I am sure there are those out there who know what I am referring too...
@valerysgirl oh, yah about yesterday, i was just in a wierd mood. don't pay any attention to me. today, i'm in a different mood, and actually i see things totally different today. i'm sure it's my hearing that's waining a little, and you are probably right. i just can't hear what i'm missing, so it's all good i guess. and now, ... i'm having waffles!! oh sh*t i wish i would stop saying that. it sounds so stupid, but it makes me laugh!!
@valerysgirl you really freaked me out today, when i went to your channel and found "the bomber meddly" by james gang blasting in my face!! wow, i didn't see that comming!! oh, man. i saw them in 1970 and "canned heat" opened for them! what a concert that was! even though i was stoned on acid, i can still remember it, and i remember when they played the bomber meddley! amazing. i'm just so surprized to find a young person into james gang! and i take back everything i said about your hearing :D
@valerysgirl the issue would be, they were not released on cd; cd has a much 'cleaner' sound. a lot of these 'old songs' on youtube & other sites are being played from their original vinyl. those of us who grew up with it, understand that, accept it, & are simply grateful to once again be able to enjoy the music we grew up hearing. :)
dig the neru jacket....very 60s mod. had one myself back in the day .these guys had a couple hits themselfs but mostly wrote hits for others including the monkees.
Love it great song from a very influential duo who wrote countless hits back then. Talent at A plus. They had the ear for catchy music. Thank you boys thank you for being a part of my life!
,I'm glad that I grew up in the Sixties. It was great, happy sing along music like this that made the time so special. The irony is, it's a sad song if you focus on the words.
...you can't lose a friend you never had! because a friend won't say it's over, & go out just for spite...& now i wonder...what she's doin' tonight...
Have a listen to I'm A Believer (written by Neil Diamond). Clearly Micky Dolenz singing. Listen to Daydream Believer (written by John Stewart). Clearly Davy Jones singing.
I know you can't help being ignorant - you could at least not let the whole world know it.
For so long I thought this was a Bobby Sherman song.... In the song,...they called out 'alright Bobby now lets go now...' Wow,..learn something new every couple of decades.
@beachgrad98 get yer scooby snacks...lol...I know exactly what you mean...I Love Youtube...what a way to (presumably) waste an hour or two of daylight...
one of those songs that, once you play it again, it just sticks with you. i'll end up humming this all eveing and beyond. guess thats a tribute to the catchiness, the timing, the flow of the lyrics. terrific!
love this song. upbeat and fun. granted the videos back then were funky, but that's the time and the technology, or lack of it. but still these two wrote a lot of hit songs.
I think the reason is, that you are 'sissy'. "Trixie" is the name, of a whore! Why do people who are mentally incapable, try to 'act' like a 'real' person. Your parents, hated you, and so do most people, who are involved with your sorry life. Trixie,you are a terrible person! Boyce & Hart, had a great song, it reminds me of you "Fag stroll the grounds, because no man respects you,or is interested" You're probably the worse person,I've ever encountered.
It was a time of looking a girl in the eyes and knowing that it was cool. Hand holding and whispering was a great night! Staying up late and talking on the phone and not really saying anything to her. I still do all of this to my wife.
you got that right 100% and we had nothing man and what we had we made with our hands and hand me downs, i almost forgot that part,, cars, girls,clothes,ATMOSPHERE WAS MAGIC,i try and bring the same things today with kids,relatives kids and friends and why not,just so so much magic each and every day in those days,and to have a taste of what it was about is the most refreshing thing to happen to me anyhow, in this day and age!!!!!far out man !!!bring it all back anytime!!!!
We didn't have AC in the car, no power windows. We were lucky to have an AM radio in the car. I installed a second speaker and everybody thought it was fantastic. We didn't have computers or video games. We didn't even have calculators. I had to add in my head. Boy, was I in trouble.........
I hear you...some of us didn't have cars and had to sponge off our friends that did....but I hear you about the radio...my ifrst one was an am/fm transistor radio with a single ear jack...makes me feel so old...
@xblinkx182xgm I agree. My personal belief is that back then people cared enough to master their music and thought less of the money than now. More care seems to have gone into everything from lyrics to arrangement to musicianship. It was about the music!
It's hard to understand why anyone does that. If you've ever been really depressed, you could see how it happens, no matter how many good things and how much love you're surrounded by. The only one who really could say would be Tommy. RIP.
how many times have you wondered what she,s doing tonight??as a teenager back then we sure did,Love!!top song by a top pair of guys,sure was a bigee back then, nice to hear it today, just makes me want to go back to those days,sure does, not much doing these days,quite sad really,i guess you had to of been part of this era,warm, colourful, friendly,hip,groovy,go go dancing and so so much fun,and the chicks were so so down to earth as well,boyce and hart lives that,s for sure!!Great Post Matee!!
These guys wrote a lot of music back in the day. They wrote songs for the Monkees and a bunch of similar bands. Guess they decided to start singing them after a while. They really churned out the bubblegum. But it still makes me smile. Fairly innocent times and music to match! Makes me feel so old watching this and seeing the years this was put out. I miss my misspent youth!
Great song one of the best from the turbalant 60s. this group was hot and this song a megahit. they left their mark. this doo wop/rocknroll historian can tell you this is a rare treat. they use their names in the song to get into the spirit. thanks guys. TOMK a man who knows great music
Thanks for posting, but what an incredible annoying clip! The director must've been on drugs. One camera that trucks in and then out, and a poorly executed chromakey. I think Bobby's shoes were pinching!

one of those songs that, once you play it again, it just sticks with you. i'll end up humming this all eveing and beyond. guess thats a tribute to the catchiness, the timing, the flow of the lyrics. terrific!

I loved it when the 'psychedelic" camera effects were more important than viewing the actual performers. It drove me crazy then, still does.

love this song. upbeat and fun. granted the videos back then were funky, but that's the time and the technology, or lack of it. but still these two wrote a lot of hit songs.

While i love the genius of the late 60's music- the do whatever we want generation - (read statist) has parlayed itself into the govt owes me
And for anybody on this check out Love's Forever Changes masterpiece. But 65-70 was a great music era

It was a time of looking a girl in the eyes and knowing that it was cool. Hand holding and whispering was a great night! Staying up late and talking on the phone and not really saying anything to her. I still do all of this to my wife.

We didn't have AC in the car, no power windows. We were lucky to have an AM radio in the car. I installed a second speaker and everybody thought it was fantastic. We didn't have computers or video games. We didn't even have calculators. I had to add in my head. Boy, was I in trouble.........

xblinkx182xgm 2 years ago 22
@xblinkx182xgm I agree. My personal belief is that back then people cared enough to master their music and thought less of the money than now. More care seems to have gone into everything from lyrics to arrangement to musicianship. It was about the music!

Love them singing as well as the video for the movie Where Angels Go.... I just can't understand why Tommy Boyce committed suicide?
ed42us 2 years ago
It's hard to understand why anyone does that. If you've ever been really depressed, you could see how it happens, no matter how many good things and how much love you're surrounded by. The only one who really could say would be Tommy. RIP.

These guys wrote a lot of music back in the day. They wrote songs for the Monkees and a bunch of similar bands. Guess they decided to start singing them after a while. They really churned out the bubblegum. But it still makes me smile. Fairly innocent times and music to match! Makes me feel so old watching this and seeing the years this was put out. I miss my misspent youth!

Thanks for posting, but what an incredible annoying clip! The director must've been on drugs. One camera that trucks in and then out, and a poorly executed chromakey. I think Bobby's shoes were pinching!
