      It was their first big hit. Used to set the record player needle to this song on their first album and played the heck out of it on the okd Symphonic stereo we bought in 1961. Cherry finish and a very heavy recird player platen for stability. Cost our family a small fortune back then but my father wanted to buy the best-made in the USA when that meant something.

      Even Mike Nesmith said that Mickey's voice was the most distinctive sound that made The Monkees what they were. There would have been no shame in just singing. It's like they had a complex where they felt like they needed to really play instruments to be taken seriously. But Mickey and Davy were both just fine as singers. Ironically, what they did have is probably rarer than the ability to play a guitar or drums well. Millions of people can do that, but no one has their voices.

      @@chucknoto281 Peter played every instrument and was awarded the Orchestra Kentucky lifetime achievement award. He returned the favor by writing a concerto for them. When he was hired to play Bass for The Monkees tv show, he also had mastered classical piano, the banjo, guitar drums and two other instruments I can’t remember. Micky played classical guitar but played contemporary with his band. For his audition, he played a spirited rendition of “Johnny Be Good”. Michael Nesmith was “discovered “ by the producers performing at The Troubadour Club in West Hollywood. He played his six string but played his now signature 12 string for the show. Micky was cast as the drummer despite the fact that he didn’t play drums. But like any good actor, he learned. David and Peter taught him. Peter having fun while playing is due to the simplicity of the guitar. Peter was a classical pianist. He played several instruments when he was hired for the tv show. After the show, he learned all orchestra instruments as well as innumerable instruments from around the world. He especially loved it when someone brought him an obscure instrument. He’d fiddle around with it and within minutes would be playing songs on it.

    That little girl dancing on the stairs all by herself brought a tear to my old wornout eyes. I took my daughter to see Gary Puckett and she got away from me and stood up and started dancing just like that. She was about that age. I guess everyone must have thought it was cute, because no one said a word. Even the ushers pretended they didn't see anything. It was so cute. My only regret is there was no decent quality video on flip phones back in those days, so it only exists in my memory now. She doesn't even remember it.

    This song is underrated by many. It was an anti-war song - the last train was departing for bootcamp and then Vietnam, and he didn’t know if he would come back alive hence the “don’t know if I’ll return” line. The TV execs never knew the song was anti-war, but all us young people listening on the radio knew what it was about.

      @@stevek8829 The TV execs created the Monkees but the band members gelled and were genuinely talented. The writer of the song said that they couldn't make it a direct protest song due to the TV execs, but it was intended to be an indirect protest song and they hoped the fans would get it. As it turned out they did get it, but for an incorrect reason. Fans assumed that the song was referring to Clarksville Tennessee which is close to Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Apparently that was just a coincidence and the song writers only learned of that after the song's release. The writers thought the line "I don't know if I'm ever coming home" was the indirect reference to going to Vietnam that they wanted people to understand.

      @@stevek8829 They were intended as an artificial thing by their TV producers, and at first they were intended to be the face of the band on TV, but other professional musicians would play the music for recordings, but the guys didn't like that and fought the TV execs and eventually gained control of recording etc. So they stopped being the compliant fake group for TV and became a genuine creative group. They ended up selling 75 million records, and during 1967 (some said they outsold The Beatles and Rolling Stones combined,) making them one of the highest selling bands of all time.
      They broke up in 1970, but reformed in 1986 and produced four albums over the next 35 years. Jones died in 2012 and Tork in 2019, and Dolenz and Nesmith conducted a Monkees farewell tour in 2021. Nesmith died just after the tour ended. A lot of people don't know about this Monkees band life that continued after the demise of the TV show and continued until quite recently. It demonstrates that while the band was intended to be just a TV creation, it grew into something real and long lasting.

    I love the Monkees and have since their very first show on NBC back in the 1960s. Fast forward to the early 1980s and my 5 year old daughter loved them too without any prompting from me, as she watched reruns on Nick at Nite or some other channel. The thing is, she thought it was a new show and that the guys were still young. I bought their 20th anniversary album and that's when my daughter, a bit confused, discovered that her crush Davey was 20 years older than the episodes showed him. Many years later, my grandson watched Shrek and thought the Monkees tunes in it were new too. The Monkees keep gaining new fans in each generation. Long live The Monkees.

    I meet Davey Jones in person in Los Angeles. It was in February of 2012. Two weeks later he died. I was so hurt when I heard the news 😢💔. I have a picture of myself with him. I am so happy that I got to meet him before he died. I think he died on February 29th 2012. I remember it was a leap year. R I P DAVEY JONES. You will always be in my heart ❤.

    • @Knorkooli
      @Knorkooli Год назад +2

      Nesmith had some issues while The Monkey's TV show was going because he wrote a
      lot of songs and the TV Executives were rejecting his songs most of the time. Nesmith was a pretty serious music making man, so the Monkey's music was not really his cup of tea. As the show went on, he grew more tired of it and for a long time he hated the Monkey's music. Finally, he had enough of everything and wanted out, but the TV Execs said no that he had to finish his contract which also included some type of commercial etc... Once he finally go out of it he never really looked back. However, I think it was in the last 10 years of his life he finally started seeing what The Monkey's thing was all about and he even started actually enjoying the music from those days. I think he finally realized that some of the things he wanted for himself, and his life had happened because of that time in his life. He finally came to embrace it instead of seeing as a mistake and thinking it kept him down when really, it wasn't. I am sorry it took him so long to see that and to also mend some of those relationships. In the end, no one can say he didn't finally make amends to things... because he did.

      It's what they did with their lives that matters.
      I discovered the Monkees during their big comeback in the mid 80s. I remember summer vacation, getting up early with my brother and sister to watch cartoons, then The Monkees, The Munsters, Gilligan's Island, The Brady Bunch then ouside to play until dark. I remember it as one of the happiest times in my life, just innocent fun and my family was all still alive. My family is all gone now except for me and my brother.
      It sucks but everyone dies. I loved the 3 Stooges and Little Rascals when I was a kid and cried my eyes out when I found out that all the 3 Stooges and most of the Little Rascals were dead but they live on forever with their films.

      @@gregorymoore2877 I'll add a little trivia related to the band and my particular childhood. Obscure, I know, but I laughed about it in 1981 when I noticed it. The British comic (comic book) 2000 AD had a Judge Dredd series entitled 'The Case Of the Urban Gorillas!' Intelligent renegade apes take hostages in Mega City one, at the Mickey Dolenz block of all places. As the Mega City Judges on duty fail miserably, our favourite dictatorial lawman is called in to sort out the mess. I was 10 years old at the time and had a good laugh at the name of the block/arcology. All these years later I still remember the panel where Dredd took down the leader, kicking him in the head and rasping out 'Eat Judge boot, lawbreaker!' With the hindsight of years it is unfortunate that the name chosen by 2000 AD for the leader of the rebel apes was Harambe. My rambling diatribe just goes to show that if you live long enough, your childhood memories reach out into all other kinds of pop culture, and years later give youtubers under the age of 20 the perfect excuse to post replies like 'cool story bro' 'Ok Boomer' and the ever popular 'WTF?'
