- NINE TIMES BLUES
Sung by Michael Nesmith with the backing vocals of Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones
There's a certain something in the way
You looked at me and said you'd stay
That let me know that I was out of line,
But I didn't know what else to do,
And like a fool, I tested you,
By demanding things of you which weren't mine.
And now I feel like such a fool
For making you crawl back to me,
But you did it with such love,
That you're standing far above
Me and all I did to you,
I'm sorry now, what can I do?
I know that never in the world,
Could I have found me such a girl,
Who's there to pick me up before I fall,
And if, in the end, we should go
Both our separate ways, I know
The lesson I've learned here is worth it all.
And now I feel like such a fool
For making you crawl back to me,
But you did it with such love
That you're standing far above
Me and all I did to you,
I'm sorry now, what can I do?
I know that never in the world,
Could I have found me such a girl,
Who's there to pick me up before I fall,
And if, in the end, we should go
Both our separate ways, I know
The lesson I've learned here is worth it all.
EVERYBODY LOVES A NUT
Sung by Michael Nesmith, Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, and Jonny Cash
Everybody loves a nut
The whole world loves a weirdo
Brain's are in a rut
But, everybody loves a nut
There was a hermit named Fred
Who kept a dead horse in his cave
And everyone said to Fred
"Fred, how come you keep a dead horse in your cave?"
And he said
"Well"
Everybody loves a nut
The whole world loves a weirdo
Brain's are in a rut
But, everybody loves a nut
A Columbia man named Frank
Had a tiger, the tiger's
name was Hank and he tried to
put Hank in his tank
Guess what happened to old Frank?
"The tiger killed him."
Well,
"The tiger ate him up."
When they picked up his teeth,
hair and eyeballs.
Everybody loves a nut
The whole world loves a weirdo
Brain's are in a rut
But, everybody loves a nut
Another Columbian fella
Told Queen Isabella
I don't think the world is flat
Now what do you think about that?
And she said "You don't?"
And he said "No mamme"
And she said "You get outta my Queendom"
Everybody loves a nut
The whole world loves a weirdo
Brain's are in a rut
But, everybody loves a nut
Everybody loves a nut
The whole world loves a weirdo
Brain's are in a rut
But, everybody loves a nut
This is one of my all time favourite songs. So pretty!
Nice to hear Davy singing in his natural tenor tone.
My favorite Monkees moment......with the King Johnny Cash! Can't get any better
than that
Best nine times blue arrangement ever!
Micky was in a band, and played guitar before the Monkees. Micky and the One Nighters.
The Monkees in the Johnny Cash show 1969
@switcherxx All of them knew how to read music. Davy played the Artful Dodger in Oliver! and actor/performers in musicals are almost always given sheet music to read/learn. They're all great in their own way. Micky's one of the best singers of all time in my opinion (fantastic emotional phrasing). Davy's got terrific showmanship and rocks at syrupy ballads (watch any of his live "I'll Love You Forever" videos). Mike and Peter are musical geniuses (Peter - instruments, Mike - song writing).
This is so fabulous! (Where was Peter?)
Davy Jones' dancing is just CLASSIC! Yes, everybody loves a nut and he is the best of all nuts!
Peter left the Monkees in 1968. This show was filmed in 1969.
@elfhermie I never disliked them... yeah, Peter probably could read music too... a singer doesn't reall need to - it was a big turning point for the third LP when they performed all the instruments themselves...Have you seen the movie Daydream Believers? They had a wide range of styles, remember they were put together by the producers, not by themselves. Perhaps if they found another producer, or did their own production when the show was cancelled, things may have been interesting.
Mike was probably the only one who knew how to read music
They all did.
@switcherxx In the start of it Mike and Peter played instruments. But, Micky came along and can play too. Davey sort of can but definatly not to the extent of Mike. I think Peter is the most instrumental one though.
If you read what I wrote you would have seen most musicians in rock & pop cant read music meaning it doesnt matter. It's not a requirement It just is what it is. I was answering someone else's comment
So you're suggesting, what, Peter learned to play Solfeggietto by ear? Maybe do some research before making specious comments.
I highly doubt whether any of them could read music. Most ppl in rock/pop cant read unless they're studio musicians
