- I had to re upload this song cause every time I listened to it there was something improperly mixed in the entire second verse. Couldn't leave it up like that. Fixed it! Most people would not know the difference unless it be directly pointed out I got to spend a little more time listening to the
recordings before I put them on CZcams. - Hudba
Vietnam in '70 with the Marines......about 4 months after getting there, lost the girl I wanted to marry. Many a night lying in the back of helicopter, I stare out at the night sky and have those exact thoughts, then hope we get a mission to launch, so I'd could lose those thoughts for a while. Even though we reconnected when I got home, she wouldn't marry someone whose eyes were now empty and I lost her again. Even now 50+ yrs later, when I hear this song, she pops up from the recesses of my mind and I wonder where and how she is.......
For different reasons, and a different situation, yet still with the "wonder what (s)he is doing tonight?"
Good story

Her loss my brother.
The Sixties were where it was at. I am proud to have been there.
Same
Oh, the 60's were definitely the place to be!!!!!!
Nam, hippies, JFK assassination, bay of pigs and Cuban missile crisis, Cold War, good times
Well Sup, how about space travel, Rock music, color TV, the Interstate Freeway System, jet travel for the masses and most importantly, "The Monkees" just to name some good things.
Me too !!! The music was SO cool....everyone was cool.....exciting times...great time to be growing up
Feeling a bit nostalgic, so that's why I'm here. Anyone else with me?
colleen jeffries ,,,,hell yeah!!
Colleen Jeffries oh yes, love these songs
Yep. It's Friday and I'm easing back a bit...........................The songs all sound so great - still!
This is good time rock & roll
Oh yes! Bikes with banana seats and sissy bars, transistor radio's held up to our heads, Beverly Hillbilliy"s, F Troop and so many other great tv shows, life was beautiful and innocent then! When I go, please Lord, just send me back to the sixties....
Bobby is still alive and well, playing the organ at my Los Angeles area church.
Donn Sunderland Hey get him to play ( In the garden of eden) Long version ...it was featured on The Simpsons will be a Hugh hit with them I’m sure!
Just let him know how he helped inspire a generation
Donn Sunderland that’s wonderful
That's huge 😆😇
Donn Sunderland you are fortunate to have such a terrific musician in your congregation
"C'mon now." "Alright Bobby, let's go." I just love, love, love, the talking that they do between the lines. So good. Puts me in a good mood!
I can't stop playing this song. Help me, Carol! :)
@@larrya7360 Sorry, I'm stuck also. Playing it now.....
me too
my favorite part too...............
I've always found it distracting. It sounds like it was added after the fact to create that effect.
Boyce and Hart were amazing songwriters, and as we all know, the brains behind the Monkees, but masterful musicians on their own too. It may be pop, but some of it had real human pathos to it, like this song, which STILL makes my eyes a little weepy 54 years later.
Great success story....not many know the name but they sure had a great run in every aspect of the business....love that song ❤️
Love the song, but it conjures up bittersweet memories...I was 19 and got drafted in '68, and went to 'Nam in '69. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
You went over in the thick of it, sir, and did your duty. Thank god, by the time I was 18, the draft was over, and only Marines Special forces were still going over. Anyway, yes this STILL conjures up memories of time, bittersweet even for those of us safely at home.
Thank you for your service. ❤
@@joeycee2585 Thank you Joey.
This classic hit from 1967 takes 53 years off of my age.
I really miss the old days. Nostalgic is just a way of realizing that we're getting older.
It helps take my mind off the current world. I'm EXTRA TIRED of hearing about Carona and China and blm and rioting and people without jobs and no school and people dying. (OMG!, it's crazy out there). PLEASE COME BACK 1966!! WE NEED YOU BADLY!!
But a lot of great bands and music. Good times.
This. I t s. Bless
Spring 2020 - COVD19 Lockdown - silver lining; gives us a chance to re-visit some of these classics. Stay Well, ALL.
And figure out what the agenda and end game is in this whole overblown panic set upon us
Yes, it's like being 15 again and listening to tunes in our bedrooms for hours
You too.
The whole communist Chinese model of ‘lockdown’ is to wreak havoc on the US: Economy, Culture , Laws, and People. To take Down We The People’s America.
Yep! During the shutdown, I started a band to play these tunes, and we love this one but it's over too fast!
This song never gets old!!!
no, I have to admit something about remains pretty fresh and it has a timelessness about it, right enough
Magnificent Masterpiece from the greatest musical decade of all time
Too very bad oui due!!!!🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
@@philiptucci2458 My Dad had a friend named Tucci in Panama City back in 67-68 in the Air Force. He was a great guy who rode a Harley.
I remember them on I dream of Jeanne,Phil specter was in the episode
STILL one of my favorites from that age of Rock ... their singing is top-notch, and the guitars are spectacular !
Greatest
The guitars??? I could understand if you said the drums...
@@howie9751 They both ave a Gretch or Guild!
Oh I wonder what she's doing tonight.
She's not doing it with me.
I remember riding my bike with a transistor radio tuned into WLS -the Big 89 and listening to this song in '68-oh to be 12 again.
I listened to WLS also. The 60’s were the best.
DITTO !!!!!!
Also WLS Silver Dollar Survey !
Far out I did the same that year
sing it W L S chicago
Listened to WLS forever because of great music and DJs
Keep playing these classic songs referred to as the oldie and the goodies of America. The true talents of yesterday.
THIS SHIT IS FUCKING AWESOME.....SO TRUE...SO AUTHENTIC !!!
Let's see A and M records right? Ok these guys worked on the same label as Herb Albert and didn't he run the company back then?
this is real music not that crap there playing nowadays
Song of my youth,68 and still the best music out there...
Right On Joe !!!! The best music of all times !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bryce and Hart were giants among songwriters and performers in the 60s and 70s. They were the talent behind many of the Monkees' hits and Jay and the Americans. I was extremely fortunate to interview Bobby while writing my biography of his long time girlfriend Claudia Jennings,actress and Playboy model. Hart is a true gentleman and couldn't have been nicer
Bryce?
These two were music machines that could not only crank out a hit for themselves but numerous other people/groups
They were almost in the original Monkees ! They wrote a lot of hits for them though !!
I always loved the little adlibs during the verses. "Alright bobby let's go"
Lost my high school crush when Uncle Sam gave me a very low draft lottery number; joined the USN in June 1967. I guess it wasn't meant to happen. This song says it all!
Hey I wonder ! What's she's doing tonight !!! Great song 👌. Songs will never be like this again.
Huh? Songs will never be like what again? What a ridiculous comment.
Legendary, prolific songwriters who wrote so many hits for others but also had the voices and good looks to top the charts themselves. Amazing talents.
Can't say that they went unnoticed, but I've always believed they deserved more recognition.
another bubble gum song from the great 60's....love it!!!
Yep, this song produced Bazooka Joe bubbles!!!
Much better than an AM station on a transistor which is how we heard it first. Thanks.
Remember on TV on Bewitched? I liked that episode. Always wanted Samantha's powers. Still do.
i'm forever glad i grew up in th sixties...
Julia Marshall I liked when Endora would turn darrin into a goat or something! Why couldn’t’ Darren let her be herself and accept her family? I liked when Endora would call him “Derwood”
Mary Pé Sansterre
They had so many fun episodes where it would start with Darren under a spell.
@@donnaodonnell290 and i dream of jeanie
Anyone remember seeing Boyce and Hart on Bewitched, with Serena wanting them to play at the Cosmos Ball?
Sure did! Loved it when I first saw it. The older neighbor girls down the road were so excited as they were big fans of Bobby & Tommy.
But I was all about Serena! I think she is what made me love buenetts! She was something else in her short skirts, mod makeup, and jewrely.
Yuppers!
They also appeared on I Dream of Jeannie
@@kybobcat13 You Do Know That Serena & Samantha Were One In The Same?
I was around 15 years old when this song was on the radio
Great sound. Hard to believe the past 50 years have slipped by so quickly.
how i wish we were young again, and never grow old and forgotten like this great music from the past.
you got that right
I'm feeling nostalgic and missing my youth. Boyce and Hart and all the other greats of the 60's and early 70's are the soundtrack of my early years!
Amen brother
Missing your youth. I know what you mean. We can only have a bit of it back through a song!
If we had only known it was going to be such a "golden era" not gonna last, & never return again. Things were moving so fast & I wish they hadn't. I barely had time to think except about school studies, peer pressure, & arguing with my parents. Music like this sure helped me get by & lessoned the stress I was going thru. I spent hours in my room laid out in front of my record player playing the $2.00 45's I loved the most.
I was wonderin what she was doing while I was in Vietnam in 1968. Then I got my "dear john letter". Great morale booster it was. Oh well!
Yikes. Sorry. Daughter of a Vietnam Veteran here.
It's actually Joe Osborne on bass. Guess I need to brush up on my bassists. (Wow, Carol Kaye's bass line. Once I learned of her enormous body of work as a studio musician, I can pick her out on songs. Pretty amazing!)
The Wrecking Crew was responsible for literally thousands of 1960s hits.
Sounds like Hal Blaine on the drums
It's Joe Osborn on bass. No disrespect to Carol
Early summer, '68, cruising around our part of Montgomery, Alabama, in my Dad's Triumph Spitfire listening to this. One bright day I not only had my ride's top down, I took off my shirt to be cooler. Paper next day had a story about a naked man in a sports car.
That’s funny, George.
Ah, an English sports car with the roof down...
Classic! I was told the same thing when I would sometime ride my 83 Mitsubishi Colt without a shirt. Hoping to get an MG in the near future....
😄❗️
I'm always up for nostalgia. anytime. love those classics! can't get enough of them. youth, it always reminds me of that.been around awhile, I'm 65 now. still love it!!!
Memories of school days, what a great time
The Monkees should Thank these guys a thousand times over for the songs! The Monkees? A load of crap!!!((😮😢
This song is one of those guilty pleasures. Love it. Even play it on my guitar when nobody's watching. But don't tell anyone!
I was lucky to see Boyce & Hart in Portland Oregon in 1966. They were amazing.
By one of the best song writing duo's of all time. From February of 68."Come on now Bobby"
Wow! It's been a lifetime since I heard this song! Ah childhood memories😌.
1:47 love the Herb Alpert style trumpet playing!
Horns are why I was a Chicaho fan.
Best Boyce & Hart tune ever...
they were on the "Bewitched" TV Show but they sang a different song is on u tube where Sabrina sings a song,is good and ofc she's HOT
Outstanding performers and writers.
My dad was one of the recording engineers for the Wrecking Crew from the mid 60's to about 1972. On occasion I got to sit in the booth with him during the summer. I got to meet Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, Glen Campbell, Sonny And Cher, etc....Pretty cool for a kid....
And the ever adorable Barbara Eden on drums! Too cute!
So sweet to have been part of all the 1960s even if it was through an AM tube radio with a 5 inch or so speaker!!
One of those short 2+30 minute songs that resonates in your mind FOREVER!
Wow! It was the BEST ERA TIMES to grow up in......people were sure better n different then!!!
Yes people were a lot better than now and I didn't mean this in a bad way just that life was easier than today ..
100% agree!!
The girl in the thumbnail is none other than I Dream of Genie's Barbara Eden.
Boyce and Hart. The songwriting duo that wrote many of The Monkees' songs during their first television season and early albums. Superb tunes they wrote.
That freight train night rhythm carries this song.
Way back in my high schools days when a couple of pals and I would go out cruisin' in suburban Columbus, Ohio, we heard this song seemingly about a million times when it would come on the car radio (WCOL AM). I think it was one of the songs we heard often enough, and liked well enough, that we would sing along with it, complete with fake mics in our hands.
I needed this to get me out of my depression. This is my kind of music. Nothing beats the oldies
The golden age of music will always be here!
On my list of all time favourite songs
Absolutely flippen great times ... 60'ssssss the very best times, 12 yers of age then I left home for good, got in such big trouble that lasted 30 years but flippen great was the 60sssss .
To all who could remember it as well as everybody else..a blessed 2023.. ♍⚖🏕✌
One of the few songs I could listen over and over and it never gets old. If it is playing on the radio. Up goes the volume.
Boyce & Hart were The Masters of Pop music Love these cats growing up thank you Tommy and Bobby
Awesome song from early 1968!
BOYCE & HART very underrated and wrote so many great tunes for other artists.....
The best of all the songs Boyce & Hart wrote and released under their own names
This song came out ten years before I was born and have loved it since I was a kid.
April of 2024--- song is still as fresh as ever! Music,lyrics, singing--- all a joy to hear and sway to!😊
Born in dec of 79 but my parents listened to 60's 70's music so i grew up listening to this. I love oldies and classic rock
Always loved this song.
Super great song, they were on i dream of Jeanne i remember that episode
@@lloydkline7245 : So that WAS Barbara Eden playing the drums off to the side of the screen at 0:54! I _thought_ that was her!
Thank you! I have trying to think of this song for a while. All I could remember is it was a duo and something to do with the Monkees. This morning when I woke up Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart came to be. I got on youtube and found this. I"m happy!
A truer song was never made...makes you wonder
Absolutely!
Great song in 2020
I wish people could know how iconic this duo was... writing for the Monkees and more... this is the ONLY song they did themselves and hit the top 40. Big Fan... JUST SAYING
Actually they borrowed a lot from other artists. "Last Train to Clarksville", by their own admission, was taken from "Paperback Writer", and the ending of this song was taken from "Hungry" by Paul Revere and the Raiders. And the title of this song taken from a 1963 song of the same name. That being said, I do love the song.
I have 4 singles by them, Alice Long , Sometimes she's a little girl and out and about
the picture of Barbara Eden on drums is from a session with Phil Spector for a song "Out and About"
I was in 4th grade when this came out and every single kid at the Rollerama was slamming their skates on the boards to this awesomeness!!
Ah, the genius behind the Monkees! I love these two guys.
I remember having this record in my collection and playing it a lot! Such GREAT music.
Ahhh...the 60's....thems the good ole' days !!
One of my favorites as a kid.
this song takes me way back
I haven't heard this in ages. What a treat!
1966: Boyce and Hart were staff writers at Screen Gems-Columbia Music and tapped by boss Don Kirshner to create songs for a band for a new television series. They were essentially the fifth and sixth Monkees during the first year. The music was so good, their 'leftovers' earned them a contract with A&M. Prohibited from using the name, Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart formed for a couple of years in the 70's, playing Monkees songs and adding more of their own. Be at peace, Tommy Boyce.
Sitting in the Glen Ellyn A&W in 1968 in my dad's E-Type watching the cruisers and hot rods drive through while blowing off my homework.
Summer, 1967?...good times!
Great pop tune! Must have been played on am radio a million times. Just a happy song about teen angst.
Talk about 1 hit wonders, this one is a one hit thunder!
They had more then 1 hit. Laugh laugh was good too
@@kddavis5492 wasn't that song sing by the band The Beau Brummels.
One of the greatest rock and roll songs of the 60s and one of the greatest rock and roll songs that I've ever heard in my entire life
Good, good memories. I miss them..😢
Miss you, Tommy. Rest in peace.
Ani Cole When did he die? I always loved-Horay For Hazel & Sweat Pea. That one guy needs his ass whooped!
@@kennyhuskisson2684 Wrong Tommy.You're thinking of Tommy Roe.This is Tommy Boyce.
@@kennyhuskisson2684 Sadly, Tommy Boyce took his own life.
Like listening to it the first time. Throughout the whole song I had to keep reminding myself I wasn't having an excellent flashback (yeah, I'm that old.) Heard harmonies and instruments I'd never heard before. A wonderful job!!
The harmonies and instruments you didn't hear the first time weren't there. The "enhancer" has added his own vocals to this as well as instruments.
Liking this song is one of my guilty pleasures. I actually bought the 45. Back in the 1960s I would never have admitted this🤓.
Wow!! Love It!! You absolutely kicked it up a notch!! one of my all time favorites by Boyce and Hart! They were responsible for so many hits for a lot of artist! I also love their interaction during the song it makes it more personal! RIP Sidney Thomas Boyce!! Long live Boyce and Hart!!
One of the best oldies
Agreed! I was born in 90s,but i like songs like this
I love this song,I love when they were on Bewitched and I love the song they sang on the show 😍
I loved when they were on Bewitched too rockin out with Serena. Then they went and visited I Dream of Jeannie. Definitely made the rounds on the classic shows of the day.
The different shows had many of the popular artists on theirs shows back then. You should have seen The Dick Van Dyke Show, when Chad and Jeremy were on.
Beautiful harmony created by many of the talented groups during my younger years in North America.
these two guys are amazing,and their influence is long ranging,they are instrumental in helping ,doing,writing most of the music we listened to from 1965 on,look it up and be amazed
Love the 60s music . I first heard this song in 1968 and was going on 12 years old at the time it first came out !
The love energy is truly in this song. The magic in this is so incredible that no words can do it justice. I know that someone else out there understands. Namaste!!!
Hi, I often enjoy, reminiscing with the old, 50's & 60's...Rock 'n Roll, 'goodies'!
I am with you. !!! Got chills up and down my spine. Gonna listen to again !!!!!! Godspeed !!!!!
A brilliant masterpiece and in terms of songwriting, these guys were just as good as Lennon and McCartney
You must be kidding.
Great song, let's not get carried away
I don't think so.....
haha,,,not quite,,,
Seriously?
Touches the core of my very soul
I loved my transistor radio. I'd go to sleep listening to the oldies.
still have mine from 1966
Me too--I'd put it under my pillow--and wake up to a dead radio. LOL
@@MrTrashcan1 Me too! I had it cleverly hidden under the pillow with the one earphone gently tucked in the one ear hoping I would not get caught because apparently batteries were worth a fortune! LOL!
I'd put mine under a small cardboard box with one end slightly lifted to deepen the sound.
They weren't oldies back then! Lol!
Wrote some of best early Monkees hits, such underated writers.
"Alright Bobby, let's go!"
The record sounded very good! Thanks. I sure miss the 60's music and the times too!
You're right the sixties we're a Precurser....to the seventies where I really favoured all that was.....but the sixties musik made it all possible.....thank you
This picks me up hey it's that bloody time machine lets go the meter is running
