Just for the record The Beatles liked the Monkees. Mike Nesmith sat in on the Sgt. Pepper sessions. Peter Tork worked with George on the Wonderwall soundtrack. John said The Monkees' show was one of the funniest he had ever seen
You can see Mike Nesmith in the "A Day In The Life" video on Vevo; he sat in on the orchestral recordings, along with Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithfull, Keith Richards, others.
@@CartersRemasters and Mike Nesmith created PopClips, which inspired Nickelodeon's owner company Warner-Amex (parent company until 1984) (until 1986, when Viacom bought the Basic Cable Assets) to create MTV in 1981 which airs Music Videos, and a show on Nickelodeon called Nick Rocks in 1984, Warner-Amex turned MTV and Nickelodeon Public under the MTV Networks Banner on June 25th 1984, and Viacom aquired a stake of MTV Networks (NIckelodeon and MTV) in 1985, which in 1986 they bought 100% of these Channels, but before MTV, The Beatles invented Music Videos!
I think the Beatles will hold that title as the 'best all-time band' for a long, long time. They exploded onto the scene, they wrote their own material, they had charisma, they were handsome, they had a variety of musical styles, they were funny and entertaining - they truly had it all(!) It's tough to ever see something like that happening again...
The Beatles owned EVERYBODY with regards to musical talent, songwriting ability being number one. I'd still put the Monkees among the top ten groups from the sixties. They were given great material from top-notch songwriters from the period...and, obviously, the music has lasted, otherwise we wouldn't be discussing them forty years later (!). Thanks for the 'mash-up' video. It's entertaining and well-done.
I was a Beatles fan back in the day and went on to love the Monkees later on. Having both my favourite groups together is the ultimate in good entertainment. I first heard this track on the radio and was then determined to get it myself. Thanks heaps for uploading. Great stuff.++++++++++++
Whoever put these two songs/videos together -- WELL DONE! I've always thought it's silly to compare the Beatles (the world's greatest and most groundbreaking rock band) and the Monkees (a group manufactured by TV) -- why not just enjoy them both for what they are? They both provided some memorable music.
I think this is a great video and 'Paperback writer' is one of my favourite Beatles songs. I'm so glad you posted it. Both groups are good in this. Sad that 3 of them are no longer with us.
Man, this mash up really works!! GREAT JOB! Boyce and Hart, who wrote Last Train to Clarksville said they were largely inspired by Paperback Writer to write that song.
Both Neil Diamond and Boyce and Hart were ORDERED by the Monkees' boss to write something as similar to Paperback Writer as possible. I'm a Believer and Last Train to Clarksville were the result. Same chords.
Neil Diamond wrote a lot of Monkees songs, and this was one of his best. Actually "The Last Train to Clarksville" more resembles "Paperback Writer" imo. Anywho, this was a good mashup flowerz, keep up the good work :P
Of COURSE The Beatles are better, and I say that as I am looking at a photo of Davy and me together even as I type this! Wow, what a treat to grow up at the time!
It's from the episode "Monkees on Tour". A mini-documentary of them going to Hawaii for a concert and that bit is where they "took over" a radio station.
I've seen it a few times before... it was from some interview at a radio station. They might have shown this at the end of one of the Monkees TV episodes. I'm sure some Monkeesologist can tell you for certain!
I love both the groups--though everyone's right, the Beatles kick the Monkees's asses every day--and this is the best song ever, I gotta say. It's absolutely gorgeous with the way it all flows together.
If The Beatles Guest Started On The Monkees T.V. Show And All Eight Of Them Performed On An Episode It Would've Been Fantastic And That Episode Would Get Over Millions And Millions Of Viewers
This is very clever but I can never see this video without laughing at Paul's missing front tooth. Moral of the story...never ride a moped by moonlight...and IF you have smoked weed before doing so!! Haha.
has anyone seen the music video of for the boys mixed with the Beatles and the monkees its assume. and paper ack raisen for all of the monkees fans its soo cool the early songs of the Beatles its asume
In all fairness to the Monkees, Mike and Peter were accomplished musicians before they joined the band though not used on early tracks, Micky learned the drums and Davy the guitar. I saw the 4 together at NEC Birmingham in mid nineties and all 4 played instruments. But, as you say, the Beatles were in a class of their own. One thing in common is both groups had 4 lead vocalists, which is uncommon for bands.
Harrison once famously quoted that the Beatles could never get back together while John Lennon remains dead. I think that sums up the strength of the 4 members, in that The Beatles could only ever be those 4, unlike most other bands who change line -ups but keep the same name.
What a hoot! I used to hate the Monkees because they were a cheesy corporate imitation of the Beatles and other Brit Invasion groups. But I don't hate them anymore. I embrace their cheesiness.
I love them both! But the person who originally created and uploaded this - no offence - should have done Last Train to Clarksville and Paperback Writer. Nonetheless Paperback Writer and I'm a Believer still went together a lot better than I otherwise would have imagined! :)
The pre-fab was a name because of the TV show the Monkees were just as good and stayed together longer then the Beatles. I know they were all very good friends too.
He broke the tooth when he wiped out on his scooter while hanging around with Tara Browne - the Guinness heir who died driving his car through a red light in 1966 thus inspiring Lennon's line in A Day In the Life, "he blew his mind out in a car. He didn't notice that the lights had changed"
It's not a fair comparison; the Beatles were a real group who achieved superstardom; the Monkees were four actors and/or musicians who 'became' a performing group during their tenure on television. From my perspective, both groups were wonderful and, like fine wine, simply get better with age - paraticularly when compared with the 'music' of today.
crazy patti fits...peter could play bass(except on their first 5 studio albums)maybe a little keyboads...lets see,mccartney -bass,piano,electric guitar,acoustic guitar,drums...you are crazy...oh fyi...hendrix covered sargent pepper a week after it came out in 67...a mccartney tune
I like The Monkees much more than The Beatles, but that doesn't mean I hate The Beatles. They were the greatest and most legendary band of basically all time, but The Monkees were just something different. Though they were based off The Beatles, they were not them. They started off as being "manufactured", but they really did become their own unique band with their own unique musical sound and a long interesting history. And though they were only popular for about 2 years, they left a big impact on music, more than they are given credit for. Everyone knows the name The Beatles, but it will be less likely to find someone who knows the name The Monkees, and even lesser likely that they ever heard one of their songs. I just think that The Monkees were something really special, and nothing like them could ever exist again. Just my opinion.
Katherine Bagiackas True that The Monkees first two years were awesome, but when they did their twentieth anniversary tour (& promote their album, Pool It), they were the number one touring band that year. 1986. When Micky was approached to do this tour he honestly wondered if anyone would come. The tour proved so successful that they extended it for another year. Also concert venues had to be changed to larger capacity places such as stadiums. 2016 tour and promotion of their newest album, Good Times, was their 50th anniversary. They are one of the few bands with such staying power and an audience base of young people newly discovering them to the original 60’s audience.
Just for the record The Beatles liked the Monkees. Mike Nesmith sat in on the Sgt. Pepper sessions. Peter Tork worked with George on the Wonderwall soundtrack. John said The Monkees' show was one of the funniest he had ever seen

The Beatles liked them personally sure, but respected them and saw him as equally creatively, no, of course not

R.I.P. David Jones, George Harrison and John Lennon :'(
they are gone but not forgotten
And now Peter Tork :-(
And Mike Nesmith
And Peter Tork, and Mike Nesmith

The synchronicity between the two songs is awesome! Writers; Lennon/McCartney/Diamond : )
I'm a HUGE beatles fan and this is pretty damn good.

Great combination of two classic songs and two classic groups!!the two songs go well together!!!
OMG I love it sounds awesome love both groups !!
Brilliant 👍🏻
That's freakin ' Awsome man....2 great songs mixed into -1 MEGA CLASSIC....
Wow! That was Interesting how both songs match up so nicely.
Whoever put these two songs/videos together -- WELL DONE! I've always thought it's silly to compare the Beatles (the world's greatest and most groundbreaking rock band) and the Monkees (a group manufactured by TV) -- why not just enjoy them both for what they are?

Everything fits in those two songs.
No matter how many times I see this, it keeps getting better. However, The Beatles are 100x the band the Monkee's could ever HOPE to be.
this is so perfect
Davy dancing to The Beatles was fun to watch!
I think this is a great video and 'Paperback writer' is one of my favourite Beatles songs. I'm so glad you posted it. Both groups are good in this. Sad that 3 of them are no longer with us.
Enjoyed the little ditty mixed together, it was fun
Man, this mash up really works!! GREAT JOB! Boyce and Hart, who wrote Last Train to Clarksville said they were largely inspired by Paperback Writer to write that song.
Both Neil Diamond and Boyce and Hart were ORDERED by the Monkees' boss to write something as similar to Paperback Writer as possible. I'm a Believer and Last Train to Clarksville were the result. Same chords.
This has got to be the coolest youtube invention that I have seen in a while. I love it!
Great Mash-up .......... excellent Video Editing too............
They should have done Paper Back writer with Last Train to Clarksdale. The creators behind the ones just changed the words, t should fit perfectly
Clarksville.
It’s so sad that out of the eight men in this video only three are still with us.
REally friggin creative. I love how you have those blend. It's really tempting to do that live in a band.
fabulous music by the monkles - more please
Very well put together. Very well indeed!!
I love this! Its so perfect!
Brilliant editing job!!!
Actually, I heard that the same outfit that did the Doors vs Blondie, the song "Rapture Riders," did this mashup, too.
Awesome remix!
I agree, but that's a very interesting mix!
Thanks Andy!
That’s brilliant!
This is amazing! -Ron
this sounds awesome!
Nicely done.
That was awesome.
great sound
Neil Diamond wrote a lot of Monkees songs, and this was one of his best. Actually "The Last Train to Clarksville" more resembles "Paperback Writer" imo. Anywho, this was a good mashup flowerz, keep up the good work :P
Ok this is awesome ❤
Pretty good work !
Of COURSE The Beatles are better, and I say that as I am looking at a photo of Davy and me together even as I type this! Wow, what a treat to grow up at the time!
This is my new favorite song and video! Very nicely done...where can I get a copy of this?
It's from the episode "Monkees on Tour". A mini-documentary of them going to Hawaii for a concert and that bit is where they "took over" a radio station.
This was really cool!
Love it.
absolutely genius!
I've seen it a few times before... it was from some interview at a radio station. They might have shown this at the end of one of the Monkees TV episodes. I'm sure some Monkeesologist can tell you for certain!
Great song, nice job :)
Amazing how well Paul's vocal goes with the I'm A Believer tune :)
Good Job!!
I love both the groups--though everyone's right, the Beatles kick the Monkees's asses every day--and this is the best song ever, I gotta say. It's absolutely gorgeous with the way it all flows together.
R.I.P Davy Jones, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Peter Tork
this is absolutely great--- also check out the beatles vs. nine inch nails with come closer together!
"Let's just stand and play our guitars."
Ringo: 1:11
I can email you it if you like - I downloaded the vid and converted it, I love it so much!
Cheers!
If The Beatles Guest Started On The Monkees T.V. Show And All Eight Of Them Performed On An Episode It Would've Been Fantastic And That Episode Would Get Over Millions And Millions Of Viewers
It works!!!!!! COOL Thanks!!!
that was groovy
Ringo's definitely digging this! 2:23
This is very clever but I can never see this video without laughing at Paul's missing front tooth. Moral of the story...never ride a moped by moonlight...and IF you have smoked weed before doing so!! Haha.
It's nice that the two bands became friends instead of trying to compete against each other.
Cool
Think your all missing the point here. 2 great tracks merged together equals 1 immense track. Same as the Dangermouse V White Album. Enjoyed it.
Fuckin awesome!!
has anyone seen the music video of for the boys mixed with the Beatles and the monkees its assume. and paper ack raisen for all of the monkees fans its soo cool the early songs of the Beatles its asume
Now that I didn't know. What's S.T.P. by the way?
G O L D E N

Hilarious. I love this kind of shtuff.
this is as good and clever as the guy who does improvement on songs of famous groups and titles them as "new enhanced version"
that's so funny...'Paaaperbaack writer...I'm a believer!'
I love them both! But the person who originally created and uploaded this - no offence - should have done Last Train to Clarksville and Paperback Writer. Nonetheless Paperback Writer and I'm a Believer still went together a lot better than I otherwise would have imagined! :)
This is what happens when you don't listen to your math teacher and divide by zero.
suena bien
The comments on here lol

That somebody must be right then lol + only ever been one Paul, trust me

Wasn’t this like… the first mashup ever? Cos that’s how I remember it… I could be wrong
genius
yeah, it's a beautiful remix
The greatest mashup of all time. The gods and their disciples together.
I think you should have mixed Paperback Writer with Pleasant Valley Sunday which I think sound more similar
im a believer was written by Neil Diamond

well, good to know.
good mashup (Y)
The Beatles just did so much more, but the Monkees were talented as well.
ok,sorry about the names.....it took 7 months to record that album.....thats why its a masterpiece......
its basically paperback writer to the tune of im a believer, with ssid words occasionally thrown in.
Actually they were in Arizona
4K me... that works.
...also, I guess it goes without saying that around the Sgt.Pepper period, McCartney(being a swinging London Bachelor an' all) was into speedballs.

And Michael Nesmith is such a talented man. (Ah I love him!) I agree with you on that whole paragraph
