Welcome to the official CZcams channel of The Monkees, home of 60s chart-topping hits âLast Train To Clarksville,â âIâm A Believerâ and âDaydream Believer,â as well as multi-platinum, #1 albums âThe Monkees,â âMore of the Monkees,â âHeadquartersâ and âPisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd.â
Monkee-mania began in Los Angeles in 1965 when Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, the late Peter Tork and the late Davy Jones were cast in the eponymous television series about a struggling rock band inspired by The Beatlesâ A Hard Dayâs Night. The quartet brought a singular mix of pop, rock, psychedelia, Broadway and country to their resulting music. By the time the series aired its final episode on March 25, 1968, The Monkees had sold 16 million albums and 7.5 million singles. Few could have predicted the impact The Monkees would have on music and pop culture at large, one that still reverberates more than 50 years later.

This song is so unbelievably gorgeous!
May 2024! Whoâs with me???
Brings back a lot of great memories.
I'm with you! đđŽó §ó ąó łó Łó Žó ż
This song literally just popped into my head May 28,2024. I love it and love the monkees.
@zoki-kj3ox Nice one! Peace be with you
@flacidbeach101 Hear, hear!
Whoâs listening in 2024ïŒđ
2020 o_O
Dave Chapelle đ
Me ! Here from Northern lights!
Me!
Me â€
I love you you guys so much. I cried for days when Davey died. Thanks for your music. Mostly thanks for the laughter.
I'm listening this beautiful song in 2024.
My amazing wife Jeannie passed away this morning. This was her favorite song since she was a young girl. Off course I had to come here. Love you always Baby Bird.
I am so sorry for your loss, and I am pleased you found this song - treasure memories this was my number one song in Karaoke, and i could nail this and won prizes .. My prayers to you and your family and to Jeannie, rip...
Bless you and may your sweet memories of Jeannie lift you up and sustain you Mark, music can be a powerful healer â€

So sorry for your loss, I don't think I am that far behind, were here because we are that generation. Time for us to go and leave the youngsters to it!
"Cheer up, sleepy Jean," on that minor three chord, especially with the harmony, is one of the sweetest moves in all of music
Oh what can it mean
Yesđ
Cheer up, sleepy jeen
My freind my John Fitzgerald Kennedy actuality wrote this!
My brother was in Vietnam and my sisters and I sat at home watching our three-channel T.V. for whatever news we could get about the war. These wonderful songs put a smile on our faces as we sang along to the 45's we collected.
Itâs sad that Micky is the last one remaining, but it also warms heart that he is still here to keep the memories of his bandmates alive.
RIP Micheal Nesmith. Believe it or not, back in the 80s they were still showing reruns of the Monkees on Saturday mornings after cartoons. What a treat. Kids who stream will never understand nor the satisfaction of Saturday mornings.
Yep. RIP Mike Nesmith, Peter Tork and Davy Jones. God bless you, Micky Dolenz. I also remember Saturday mornings watching 'The Monkees' in the early 80's reruns. Heck of a theme tune.
I also remember watching a couple of the reruns in the late 70âs (my cartoon age).
Now I know I'm an old-timer. I watched the in the 70s.
Yeah I was one of those lucky kids to have watched the monkees after Saturday morning cartoons.
I saw reruns as a teenager in the 2010's thanks to channel 26. Their show and music will always have a special place in my heart.
Listening to this the day of Michael Nesmith's passing. I hope Peter and Davey greeted you at the pearly gates with open arms, Mike.
Same here.
So sad đ
I bet they did!
And his mother, too. He really loved her and she was a good mother to him
She was a Secretary who INVENTED Liquid Paper. Eventually sold the patent for 48 million back in the late 70's and died suddenly afterwards at age 56. True story.
Keep believing in daydreams.
Dad's favourite song, died in 2014, absolutely legendary song.
Same here
..
It is an awesome song đ”!!!!
A great man is always missed
Wasn't mine but this always played at the Holiday site we went to, he died when I was 11 in 2018, this takes me back to those moments in the bar with the live musicians singing this and everyone waving there hands along, truly a blessed time
Great memories from my younger days. đ
Born in 1960 I had the pleasure of growing up in the 60âs and 70âs and watching The Monkeys on t.v. I miss those days immensely!
1961 totally agree
Born in 83 and at least had a very passionate Dad who taught me all about the good music from his time đ
My father showed me the monkees and I love them so much
Can you tell us something more about that era, how was life back then?
1963! we got the best of everything.
Ah the innocent days . Wish we could go back to this .
Innocent!!?? I don`t know where you were in the late 60`s, but
Oh, you mean you donât like the wokeness, the gender confusion, the trans activism, Bidenomics, the Ukraine war, inflation, invasion on our southern border, fentanyl, Joe Biden, the corrupt Marxist Democrat party
Must be great living in the past
@@dancingvirgil Don`t nostalgic fools make you wanna slap them too? Cuz I do.
1967 wasn't so innocent. 1:47 Mickey isn't that innocent - look at that hand gesture.
Time is running out, I'm playing all these great old songs as often as I can.
AmazingïŒI can hear and SEE this now! I am a 66-year-old Japanese woman, and I loved The Monkees Sow when I was a little girl. Daydream Believer has been one of my favorite songs for the past 50-60 years!
How beautiful!!!
I loved this song for my whole life!!!!
RIP to three of the four Monkees! Damn... upon Mike's death I looked deeper into the band and they really were CRIMINALLY underrated as artists. Great catalogue, great sense of humor, great presentation. Timeless, in a way.
Dolenz is still alive
@@ElChavo1128 his talking about Mike nesmith
@@aureliusgabrielromero1580ik but he said 4 and their is 4 Monkees 3 of the died .Davy , Peter and Mike Died. Micky is Still Alive

@@ElChavo1128 read carefully
RIP Michael Nesmith youâll never be forgotten.
Michael, Peter, and Davy. Poor Mickey
@@robertolmstead1346 yep
Thought for a second you said "Forever forgotten".
*WHAT!?!?* *'Wool Cap Mike' is gone?*
*I didn't know*
( *Like Lennon said in '70 "Don't worry over us, we're alright and so are you and everything you liked of the 'Beatles' is still here, all the records and the films and all that will still be around...we gave you fans the best we had for years and years and now it's time for a long rest and none of you would like to hear and see us at forty or something..."* )
__________
*How wrong he was and didn't know it!*
__________
* 'The Monkees' will live-on long after all the original fans are gone, and that wouldn't be true unless there was real talent and chemistry involved between them, because although a camera may not 'tell the truth of things'...it doesn't 'lie' either*
*WE know the difference between 'fake' and 'real' and what we saw and heard from the 'American Fab Four' was real even if it was never intended to be*
__________
*I saw an interview with Nesmith here on 'Tube and he talked about Peter Tork and how Mike seemed to just 'always not quite right' and "Not the friend I should've been" with Peter in being 'not enemies but not close the way we should have been' and that when an assistant told him where he working said "I just heard that Peter has died" it felt "Like I was kicked in the guts and my heart stopped because I never got the the chance to tell him I loved him and didn't know it and now it's too late to even say goodbye to him*
( *Mike looked like he going to burst into tears right on camera and trying hard not to* )
__________
*I have a friend 'Leon' that I knew from Kindergarten all the way to 7th. grade and we were always 'pals' but what I didn't realize was how poor he was...I had no real concept of what it meant to not have any money in a pocket for a snack or matinee movies or a bag of candy*
*My family was not 'rich' at all but there was always money for me to have for lunch at school and for 'after' and I always got 'movie money' at least twice a month and Leon had none of that and the 'little house' he and his mom lived-in would be considered 'cheap' and 'poor' even in the late '50's thru the '60's in Dearborn, Mi.*
*How I wish I could see him now after more than fifty-years have passed, and tell him "I'm sorry for not being a better friend than I was but I just didn't know any better and now that I know it makes my heart hurt that I wasn't as good to you as you were to me and I'M SORRY*
( *We moved from Dearborn to Las Vegas in early '68 and I never even thought to say 'Goodbye' to him and get his address so I could write to him or maybe call sometimes* )
*WHAT AN A-HOLE I WAS TO HIM and I still don't understand 'Why?'*
RIP to a great musician & entertainer

I was in 7 th grade when I heard this song I felt like a homecoming đ queen. RIP The Monkeys
I been a fan since 1966. I actually CRIED when Davy passed. Same with Peter.I didn't want The Monkees to get old, I wanted them to stay just like they are in this video!
Yes! I used to watch their tv show with my siblings, laughing our butts off. Good times!

Hey madam/sir, I'm Gen X (1973) and I vaguely remember seeing some of The Monkeys' shows on re-run channels, and I just loved them. I'm re-visiting some of their songs and remembering their own magic. They are/were really talented for their time, and I'm glad they are still people from your generation reveling in their music, still. Cheers :)
â@@rhequiemI was born in 73' too. I remember them on TV.
64 here⊠and still loving it!â€
đ€đ„° I understand completely â€âđ©čđ
Iâm right there with you Marina, I was born in â71 and I loved The Monkees through reruns of their TV show. This song always makes me feel good, brings me back to the late 70âs. Where has the time gone toâŠ?
One of the greatest Rock songs of all time! It's an undeniable classic!
YOU KNOW IT!!!

I don't care if the Monkees never wrote their songs or even played the instruments, this song is an absolute classic.
Dead right, day dream believerâŠâ€
This song hits close to home. I always been a daydreamer.
This and imagine by John Lennon are perfect songs.
I wish someone would write a song inspired by both.
@@williamp9117 That would be awesome. These are 2 of my favorite songs.
They did though... Some of their best songs were written by Mike & Micky
This song is 2 minutes and 46 seconds of pure joy. None of today's songs can match its melody, lyrics and hook.
That's because writing music has become a lost art. Computer programs do the writing now based on an algorithm of what people supposedly want. This is why there has not been a popular song with a key change since 2002. They no longer know how to write a proper melody and don't understand how to use key changes and time changes to enhance and color the mood(s) of a song. That is what's missing from modern music. It reminds me of the Bowie / Ronson collaboration. Bowie wrote the songs on guitar and brought a very crude and basic structure to Ronson who then molded that song into the tunes we know and love. Ronson created the arrangements, key changes and time shifts. That was all 100% Ronson.
Couldnât agree more. â€
yesssssss
Listen to The Coral

Love listening to this 70âs music
'60's
Another fun song easy to sing along with đđđđ
Two years ago my wife went into hospital for a major operation. I dropped her off there, made sure she was checked into her ward and left as she was taken down into theatre.
I got in my car, turned on the radio and as I drove away from the hospital this song came on. I broke down in tears and had to pull the car over. You see, her late Mum was called Jean and as youngsters they used to sing this to her "Cheer up sleepy Jean". To me this meant her Mum was watching over her and the worry drained away from me and I just knew for certain that she was going to be ok.
Sure enough after a nine hour operation she pulled through and is now fine. I have always loved this song but even more so now.
Daily I give my thanks to the wonderful surgical team, her Mum Jean and Davy Jones.
Bill Haley precious story
Sweet. Thank you
Bill Haley This happened to a friends mom she turned on the radio and heard bob Marley say hush little sister don't shed a tear and that happened when she was cringing because her brother just died and it was a older brother, many weird things happened to my friend and his family after their uncles death.
Bill Haley wonderful love the song
I'd like to think that God and the entire divine realm had a hand in giving you the strength and healing you needed even through music but it's all the signs that seem to come to us just when we need them most...you are truly blessed.
Absolutely adored The Monkees, laughs and music, just pure joy. RIP Mike.
RIP Mike!
Nothing like it anymore all trash music now,very sad.
Pure joy for sure. They will live in our hearts forever.
Didn't know he passed away. Sad.
He was cool
Always filled the dance floor at university â„
One of the best feel good songs in all pop. Well done, Monkees. Why they aren't in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame is unbelievable.
Not only one of the greatest songs of the '60s, but furthermore one of the greatest songs of all-time. Peter Tork's memorable piano lines and Eddie Hoh's drumming makes "Daydream Believer" the classic that it is.
HereHere! Thinking of the perfect song where everything fits in its place, this is it.
I just saw Micky Dolenz in concert on 9/15/23. It was a blast from the past. And a reminder of how much fun the Monkees really were. There was a moving tribute to all the members of the band. Great concert. Micky still has it. :)
And I'll bet he does. My favorite group,when I was growing up. Bless them.
Micky Dolenz is the last one left !
â@@rosspbarnett458I know, I wonder what he thinks about being the last man standing. Sad the other three all died relatively young, especially Davy.Fantastic band, especially considering they were supposed to be a fake band..đąđąđą
I have heard that Mickey does that at all of the shows and even though there was some (a lot ) of tension , Mickey brought Mike out on some shows . Because they still loved each other ! That is class !
đđđđđ
In a troubled time, this song made a lot of people smile. It still does.
The problem is that we got more Karen's today and they find joyful music repulsive..
Still makes me smile đ
Facts
I 100% agree my friend
I know what you meanâŠ!!
Brilliant song. One of my all time favourites. Im 64 now and remember watching their show on tv .
Good stuff đ, and I love the song as well. Though while I'm old enough to remember the band, I'm nowhere near old enough to remember the show haha (only 40, and off the top of my head, I think the show started in the 70's đ€).
@@catisreckless4647 if I remember correctly it was on in the mid sixties.
@@garyowens1517 Sounds about right. Either way, quite before my time haha (I still like their music though, at least the small amount I'm aware of)
@@catisreckless4647 yes, good stuff. Unlike what passes for music today.
So happy my father showed me this song as a kid⊠every Sunday morning before church this song was on.. love ya dadâ€ïž

@@dariowestern Pixies? Awlride!
@@dariowestern đ Mike was a well known for being a snob
Yes I was also. It's a tragedy this kind of music has disappeared. It was such a kinder world...
If you ever saw him heâs not like that at all
This song brings back so many memories played at our prom it was the last time.we were all together half of us would be going to Vietnam my high school sweet heart was one of them
How did we go from a world that could give us this innocent joy to the one we have today, with no sign of anything in the future but endless decay?
Well said bro,âïžđ€âđŒđ€Ș
the media has u convinced that theres nothing to look forward to. its easier to control you that away. be happy, and optimistic in everything that you do. you'll see things aren't so bad
Biden and liberals. Oh, wait. You wanted a REAL answer, not some insane rambling bullshit craziness?
I think the world has always been a depressing dump
We just grow up and stop seeing the world through rose tinted glasses
Absolute childhood legends. I was at a motorcycle rally here in the UK in the late nineties. The guy behind the bar put this on. Every single person was singing along at the tops of their voices in perfect chorus. RIP Mike, you defined childhood happiness with The Monkees.
I loved the monkees...couldn't stand Mike đ
They were adored in the UK :)
@@Xane_Dragon Umm..ok? Like he literally just passed away a few days ago and I dont expect you to be crazy sad but you don't have to go and say that. Give a little respect ok?

I had the same exact experience in America at a dive bar in Illinois to the song Just a Friend by Biz Markie lolol.
Regardless of if the Monkees wrote their own tunes or not - or played their own instruments or not - this tune can automatically make one feel good. A classic for all time this song, not just a '60s classic. Thank you to all the Monkees.
Yeah it'd really sad how much they were limited and looking at the video now, it makes sense why so many notes and tunes are not accounted for. Regardless the band is a true classic!
@@RyonMugen agreed. They made a big impact. This song is an absolute gem.

Love this song. I grew up watching The Monkees on television. What a beautiful time it was!
Yes, they could sing, act, and nothing violent or political on the show.
Nothing on like that any longer.
Rest in Peace Davy Jones.....this is a beautiful song
Loved his dancing in this song
Caesars in Windsor ontario Canada, in the past, had The Monkees performing. I wished I could have taken my dad to see them....but its not the same without Davy Jones đ„đđđâ€
Marsha loved Davey!â€
"Daydream Believer", a song about the loss of innocence and the anticipation of responsibility, is a timeless slice of pure pop by 'The Monkees', with a joyous swinging camaraderie to it, that's seldom been bettered since.
John Stewart wrote it. The Monkees' performed it with a word change.
@@tomsampson8084 yes, so its 'by The Monkees'
@@jocook17 Stewart reluctantly agreed to the word change as it was the only way the management company would use the song. Stewart has the writing credit and collected the writing royalties for the rest of his life.
What a beautiful description!
@@tomsampson8084 yes i know all writers do. It's still a monkees song.
I don't care how old you are, or how old you get to be. If this song doesn't make you happy and feel young again, you've had a misspent youth...đ
And we all cry to copy his dance movesđđ
what? most people under 40 haven't even heard of them lol
68 and counting... and still listen to these guys!
69 years young đ
No dirĂa que mi juventud fue feliz
Pero en ese medio conocà a quien me hizo infinitamente apreciada, amada atendida, desgraciadamente se fue, pero me precerbo por el resto de mi vida.porque: lo amo y lo amaré siempre
Amazing to see a music video before MTV. A simple affair of 4 musicians just having fun.
63 now and The Monkeys was my first album. My girlfriends and I were banished to the backyard with the record player because we sang every song at the top of our lungs, over and over and over!!! Worth it!! đ„°đ„°
Indeed... Me too...
Girl that sounds like so much fun. I wish I had been there to join you. đ
Me 65 love then
You lived in good times
â„ This is my all time favorite Monkees song.
Rest in Peace Mike Nesmith! Enjoyed their music then and now!
Thanks to the guy who wrote it! It fits Daviâs voice perfectly, canât imagine anyone else singing it, a classic!â€
Found the info: "Daydream Believer is a song composed by American songwriter John Stewart shortly before he left The Kingston Trio. The single reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in December 1967, remaining there for four weeks, and peaked at No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart." (Wiki)
Thanks! ... people often forget about the composers-writers... @@petemyates8598
RIP Davey Jones đŽó §ó ąó łó Łó Žó ż
My brother-in-law passed away on 1st March. He loved this song.
sad
Iâm sorry maâam
He passed the day after Davy did, 12 years ago. RIP to them both.
I had a connection behind the scenes of The Monkees years ago due to my animal campaigns. Davy Jones once wrote to me and had champagne waiting for me when I went to see him. His friend sent me a photo of Davy with his racehorse. A long time ago now. RIP Davy. â€đ
đđ
I lived near Dave Jones in East Manchester in the 80's, I saw him once or twice in the post office on Hyde Road between Debdale park and Denton Golf Club!!
@nickbarnes71. Wow, what a treat that would be..to run into Davy in the neighborhood. â€đ
I'm using a translator, so I'm sorry if I couldn't get it đ I'm Japanese and I found this song in a commercial at a convenience store in Japan. Covers are used in Japanese commercials, but this song sung by Monkeys makes me feel very warm. Especially when I see Davie's happy face, I can be happy. I am grateful to the Monkeys for singing and playing this song. Thank you! This song is eternal.
Hey thank you a whole bunch! I am glad that people all over the world and across time can still enjoy this song!

Hello Japan!
Every time you enter 7/11.
What IS that song???
Hahaha...This brings back memories :)
yeah it's an awesome song isn't it?! Saludos de PerĂș Japanese friend :)
U2 played this song in 1996 at RFK stadium and the entire audience was singingâŠit was beautiful!
I'm 42 and this has been a favorite of mine for forty years. Thank you Mom for introducing me to music.
A song from my childhood. Full of fond memories. It will never fade into oblivion. Thank you Monkees for being a part of my life.
Watch this at night, without any exogenous stimuli. It's almost as if the era comes alive again.
Yep. Me too. Met all except Mike. Loved all. Mickey was so fun. He even sang I'm a Believer to my niece when she was 7 dancing on a table at Harrah's Tahoe.
I'm was 13 when I first heard this song...along with Batman on a black & white TV:) later.
Agree totally. I just recall sitting in front of the TV and my Dad would sometimes sit down and even he laughed at their antics. Just a pure sound that brings out the best childhood memories.
Thats the TRUTH! TV was Soooo Great then! Monkees, Wild wild west! Rat Patrol! Clay Coles Discotheque! Chiller Theater! Lost In Space! Time Tunnel! Etc Etc! No Screens! Noo Buttons! Just Simple Enjoyments.. Was a GOOD time to be a kid.... God Bless.
Definitely a feel good song. The world needs more of these!!!
Yes!
I agree however people especially young people are way too jaded and cynical thank you Mark , Elon , Steve , PS5 , etc ...
@@michaellorenzen8200 You make a great point. I bet there is a bit more , and more ugly reasons also. The teens and 21-25`s now are into nothing but digitized rep/hip hop and have no attention span because of the tach. you speak of. They react to these old tunes(check out reaction vids) and take rock lyrics literally , not understanding analogies or poetic license. If they hear "my baby blue", they think it means "oh, he`s talking about his new child with blue eyes", not a reference to a girlfriend he is singing about. Not the best example, but ya get my meaning.
Iâm 68 yrs. old and absolutely loved the Monkees. I was 11yrs. old when the show started and never one. I always said Davy Jones was my first boyfriend, until I found out he was married and had a daughter. I was just crushed !
Awe â€â€
Oh cheer up sleepy Michelle. Look, he was only 3ft11in. Feel better now?
Firstly - what a beautiful and uplifting song. The melody, harmonies and subtle brass backing - all topped off by that gorgeous counter melody at the end.
Then the sheer charm and charisma of the four young men. When they start competing for the camera spotlight is just about my favourite Monkees moment of all.
Finally, itâs hard to grasp that itâs been nearly 60 years since they burst onto the scene. Sad that they have passed away, one by one in recent years.
Thank you for this magic
RIP Michael Nesmith. Another part of our childhoods gone.
As our day draws upon us.
RiP........
Another piece of music history....gone forever đ
Just his body. His contribution to music history will live on.
Tom A, The Monkees songs are assured of a place in music history. In particular Daydream Believer, many bands who play local areas still do this song. Cos its a floor filler and a great song.
Tom A The great thing about music, itâs forever.
It won't be gone if the people of today continue to remember it
I agree. As long as those of us from this era are around it wont be gone. Tis song is often sung at parties, dances with people and kids of all age groups singing this.....this is one song that will cascade down a good few generations.
I grew up in the 60's this song reminds me of such innocent times with my family and playing old 45's it also brings a tear to my eye when i remember all the people who have passed who use to sing along to the this classic song and the other Monkess Hits. Great Memories never to be forgotten.
People are still singing along to this song. The new generations are discovering this music and loving it.
This was my grandparents song.
Rest in peace to themâ€
68 years old and still love this song.
40 and I love the Monkees. Watched them as a kid...didn't realize they were older shows back then
64 los escucho y me calman la ansiedad. Recuerdos de mi tierna juventud, me siento feliz por ello.
I 'm 69 and love this
65 yrs old and i liked their tv show too.back in the day....
Me too. Love these guys, all these years later.
I'm 68 now and still love this song, rip Michael Nesmith, what a great run and life you have had :)
Now it's *OVER* Dust in the wind đ đ
I'll second that. đđđđđŹđ§
I miss this world.
World in 2024 sucks.
I miss all of you, The Monkees!
Yikes you scared me. Micky's still here!
Rest in Peace, Peter. Say hello to Davey for everyone!
Really??? He's dead. They're both dead. What happens to you when you're dead is that you cease being able to do the things you could do when you were alive.

The Monkees are just timeless I'm still listening in 2020 who else is still listening???
August 2, 2020 here. It's so sad Davy and Peter are gone. I bought Davy's book many years ago, it was a fun read. And The Monkees are timeless, I agree. I used to hurry home from school so I could watch their show.
I meaannn, Im not trying to be the bad one here but most people who kinda clicked the video might be listening to it... I'm just trying to be honest xD
EDIT: I also liked the comment to agree with you.
Wonderful memories đđ
I am. I grew up listening to these guys. My sister had a Monkees collage on her bedroom wall, and their music rang off the walls of our home for years, along with the Smothers Brothers,, Wayne Newton, Johnny Mathis, Ed Ames and many others. It was a great time to be a kid.
Meeeeeđđđ
they were part of my childhood. their music and their tv show. i miss those days. đ
Couldn't agree more. Wonderful memories
Just woke up from a nap, instantly listened to The Rolling Stones, and now Iâm here. Thank god for them
Loved watching these guys! RIP Peter Tork :(
And Davy Jones

đ Odd how they died ALMOST 7 years to the day.
Don't forget Mickey
@@stanleywilliams6110 Micky is still alive
@@SUGAR_XYLER It is weird isn't it? I always considered seven to be a magical number in some way.
RIP Michael, thank you for bringing joy into my childhood as I struggle with life's trials. You plus the other Monkees made me forget what was happening. You gave me peace and rest for a short while as I enjoyed the show on Saturday morning.
I'm sorry to hear you had an unhappy childhood. Absolutely no child should be put through anything but love. I'm glad the Monkees could free you if only for a while x
Same here. Rip Michael with Davy in heaven.
@@vilmalugay3401 And Peter!
hello how are you doing today?
I love this song Forever!â€
This is a fun song .I'm a millennial was born in 1992. My dad was a baby boomer born in 1957 .I use to listen to a lot of music from the 60s with my dad especially the Beatles when I was age 7 -12 I was fascinated with the time erra he grew up .he also told me one time when he was growing up they only had 4 tv channels .I was like what ?!!! .lol and when I was 8 he introduced me to and showed me what vinyl records were .good memories but yeah he use to listen to the Monkees also .I like in this video it definitely feels like a time warp into the 60s the background .the style of clothing .and the song is really good
Three, four, or five TV channels was the usual for most cities, and if you had a good antenna you could get most of them pretty clearly in the suburbs and even a ways out into the sticks. And they went off the air at midnight, and played a "test pattern" (look it up, some of them were pretty trippy) until 5 or 6 AM when they started broadcasting again. And all of that got broadcast not only to the planet Earth, but out into space. Some of it has already reached the nearest stars.
I watched the Monkees every week when they were on TV originally...I watched them endlessly on Saturday mornings in the 70's... I played their albums over and over...and over again. Their songs and images like this video are engrained in my brain and my soul. It just breaks my heart that Mickey is the only one left now. Rest in Peace guys. Critics and nay-sayers be damned over the years...I hope you guys all know how much you meant to us, your fans.
Oh no! Davie and Peter have passed? :(
@@ivegotthis8301 Mickey is the only one left.

The Monkees were a staple of Saturday morning summer holiday tv in the UK during the 70's...Loved their show...Brings back memories!đ
Good words
So glad this was in The Quarry. Amazing game and amazing theme to end it.
Absolutely right for what you said
@Aidan Ward thatâs what Iâm saying
It was the perfect ending

Idk why it's fitting for watching people who just spent their night terrified and are either dead or still alive
My mum's name is Jean and this is her song! Unfortunately, she now has dementia so this makes me sad/happy
LOVE YOU MUM XXXX
Groovy!! †the way Davey dances.
Today, I have tears in my eyes listening to this.... just as I did when Peter passed in 2019..... youâll be missed, mike.... so so much along with Peter and Davy. Thank you for the music, memories and happiness đ
What a great lost we miss you and the memories still remains i love your songs
You sound like a wonderful person, Katie. Be well!
Beautiful song!! RIP Peterđą
Rosemary winter don't forget Davy.
Better music, times, and the country for sureâ€â€â€
Here listening to this amazing time classic
The last song my Mom heard with me, while she was alive...and in front of her bed I said..."Look Mommy, I'm Davy Jones!" And started to dance like Davy...and she smiled and laughed. She died 3 days later, Dec. 23, 2019 at the age of almost 93. What a great memory!
I know how you feel. Takes me back to a time, when I still had my parental figures in my life.

The Monkees may have been a manufactured band, but they were good. Like, really really really really good.
+Gideon H. The Beetles were manufactured as well.
*****
They had manager didn't they? They obviously worked on their image. You know most people say the Beatles were simply not very good live. They were mostly a studio band. Not saying they didn't have some creative stuff going on. But live they didn't deliver. The Monkees were more talented performance wise.
+Meade Skelton you do know as the beatles grew they experientented more in the studio, making they're music more creative. a lot of those sounds are hard to create live. also it would be hard to judge how good the beatles sounds when thousands of girls are screaming at tops of they're lungs
Richard Lynch
"Creative". Um okay. I don't think repeating "number 9 a thousand times over a bass guitar is very creative, but I guess that's just me. Performance art is creativity in of itself. The Monkees had it. Elvis had it. Its magic. The Beatles didn't have it.
matesc e. Ok
This song could TOTALLY work and be a hit in 2024!
It absolutely could not. They would have to make it unrecognizable
I was 13 when this song debut. I am 70 now
You old bag.. I'm a middle aged loser who spends time writing idiotic comments on CZcams
Mike once said this was his favorite of the tunes Davy sang and I agree. One of their best songs. Hard to believe Davys gone 3 years already. Love the Monkees!
Davy Jones could play the drums better than Mickey. He also played the piano, guitar, and saxophone!
And now Peter's gone too
The unmistakable voice of Davy Jones
Amazing!!!
đ nice đđđđ đ
He could keep a beat, too.
Wasn't he wonderful...? And beyond cute!
He was so cute
I will never stop listening to Davy singing this song! My favorite since I was a small one đ
I was 8 yesterday old and I couldn't wait for Saturday at 12:00 đ how I loved the monkeys â€ïž
Still missing my late mom who insisted in the 60s,when I was a child, that this song was about her. Her name was Jean. The day I found her, gone, I saw this on youtube and cried for all the years I thought we had left. And all the years that passed so quickly. I love you mum xo
That's because it was about her.
A big hug Jules!
I was literally going to post almost the same thing. My mother always said it was about her, LOL.
Hugs to you Sweetheart. Youâre not alone Honey. Death hurts, but in time the sting will lessen. Just keep ALL OF THE WONDERFUL &HAPPY MEMORIES of Her in your heart. Love to you doll đ„°đđ„°đđ„°đ

A few months back, my aunt and I went to the Monkees Farewell Tour which featured Micky and Michael. It was a good show, and after today, I'm thankful we got to see the remaining two before it became the remaining one. Rest in peace, Michael Nesmith. You will be missed down here.
I'm jealous. I had to work the night they came to my town just a few weeks ago, I guess closer to the end of the tour, and I couldn't go. đą And now Micky is the only one left.
@@sadfaery forever they will be the best band in the world rip
You're so lucky to have been able to see them. Nez was my favorite and his passing saddened me more than I expected. đ

I can't be so nostalgic , I am listening in present and reliving the sixties. That is eternity đđđ
Not quite old enough to remember this tune but played endlessly by my brother and sister when I was a kid. It sends shivers down my spine whenever I listen to it as my brother and sister have both passed away now. A fitting tribute to both of them!! đą
Sincere condolences to you on the loss of your brother and sister. It is amazing to me how music attaches itself to human emotions.
They probably dance to this everyday in a better place. May they Rest In Peace.

I saw Davy Jones at a concert and he came down to the audience to give ME a high five - but some lady jumped in front of me - and that scared him away.
I was THIS close to greatness
