Besides the song which is just wonderfully sung, this has to be one of the best Christmassy things I have seen in a very long time. Makes me nostalgic for those programs that would take the time out to do something like this. You just don't see this today in shows.
It looks to me like an inside joke, like maybe Micky had difficulty getting that part right in rehearsals, or maybe he made a joke about it ahead of time. It was definitely a knowing glance 😂😂😂
The first time this episode aired we, of course, didn’t know that song was coming at the end. The second time I saw it I was in front of the television with a cassette recorder in front of the speaker to record it. I listened to that song so so many times. Their harmony was so flawless and beautiful. And Micky’s solos were perfect, he had the ideal voice for that.
Bruce (Barbour), Mike's then brother-in-law. Good to see all the standins (Bruce, David Price, David Pearl, Ric Klein etc.). RIP, Jon Andersen, James Frawley, Bob Rafelson, Paul Mazursky and those three beloved Monkees.
in 1968 during their Australian tour I took the week off school amd just sat on the fence outside their hotel window. After 3 days a security guard approached me and took me inside the lobby. There to greet and thank me for my dogged persistance was David and Mickey who kissed me on the cheek, hugged me and signed my autograph book. Later that evening the security guard let me give my autograph book for Michael to quickly sign as they were heading to the car to go to their concert. I was 11 and though I was punished severely by the school and my parents it remains one of my happiest memories
I saw this episode a few months back. With the rich kid who hated Christmas. And the Monkeys helped him see the light.😊 And then this vocal. I was entranced by it. And I'm so glad to see this and relive its wonder. I don't know what it meant, but it's beautiful.🎄🎅
What this shows it that the relationships on the Monkees were real and professional ... the boys were loved and they cared for each other. I remember watching this as a kid and WANTING to be there!
This video brought a great big smile to my face, many thanks for sharing it. I've been a fan of the Monkees ever since their show 1st aired, watching it in London, but had no idea of this song until now. Amazing performance, they definitely gelled well together with awesome harmonies. Also, agree the last part where they brought the crew in front of the cameras was a very sweet gesture on their side, totally keeping with the Christmas spirt. A very poignant moment in time captured for posterity. 👌🙏😀
Their voices and harmonies are brilliant. The most impressive thing might be that they had to learn to sing it phonetically. Catalan is a pretty unusual language.
My childhood, fun innocent times. The Beatles had gone weird and scary to me (aged 11) so the Monkees took over for me for a couple of years. I went back to the Fabs with a vengeance later, but the Monkees were great and produced some classic tracks. Mickey Dolenz is one of my favourite singers and it turns out all four were real talents.
@@michaelfox2433 I'm from Argentinia so I speak Spanish (and do understand Portuguese). I tell you: It's a old Spanish carol and they're singing in Spanish.
I'm glad they listed The Monkees in alphabetical order in this one instead of sticking Davy first, and then listing the others as such. They were an ensemble.
My friend brother took piano lessons from Peter Tork. He had no idea who he was, I flipped out when I saw a picture if them. I was able to meet him at her brother's concert, and was able to have my picture taken with him as well. Ironically I had the biggest crush on Mike, but I didn't want to ask about him because of the hard feelings between the two of them.
Still my favorite band since I was a kid. Greatest songs ever, I listen to all of their songs on Sunday mornings. The Beatles were meh, in my opinion. The Monkees were the best of the 60's. I miss Mike, Davy, and Peter, it's gonna be a bad day when Micky isn't here. Four of the best talents and so underrated as just a "manufactured" band.
Beautiful song and the harmonies were PERFECT! But my GOD! ALL those MEN in the crew and only 5 women who... work in the office... but then, those were the times.
I first heard this 12 years ago when I bought the Monkees tv show on DVD to watch with my daughter - it's now one of my favourite Christmas songs. This just shows how well these four could actually sing. Also, I think this carol may be in Catalan, not Spanish?

Who knew that the Monkees would be singing a Renaissance song? And so beautifully!
And with incense!
That was as fine a quartet singing as I've ever heard.

I love that look that Davy and Peter exchange. It says, "Man, Micky is really killing that vocal!"
my favorite bit, too. Heartwarming.
It looks to me like an inside joke, like maybe Micky had difficulty getting that part right in rehearsals, or maybe he made a joke about it ahead of time. It was definitely a knowing glance 😂😂😂
It was Peter's favourite song. Glad they did it. It was great.
Love this❤
Yes, Davy is looking at Mickey in amazement!
Who couldnt love The Monkees!!

The way Davy looks at Mickey is beautiful.
seeing all four of them singing together makes me cry when i know 3 of them are gone...they really had something magical going
You said it all!

WOW! Worth it! You were a brave and patient kid.
There was so much more to the Monkees than just the slapstick and camp.
This is truly a solid performanvce and a great message.
I sing Renaissance era semi-professionally… I was impressed!! This carol isn’t easy!!
That last chord, just wow
This song alone along proves they need to be in the hall of fame.
The HOF sucks. I don't know why people think the RRHOF is so great
Gawd no! HOF is full of bovine excreta.
Davy Jones has to be the most precious celebrity ever! I adored him. May he, Peter, and Mike rest in peace.
Wonderful harmonies. They were genuine talents.
The Monkeys were great musicians and entertainers and I always loved watching and listening to them. Still hanging on to Micky and missing the others.
Davey knows everyone's names - classy guy.
at the 2;06 mark did he call the guy a poof? haha
@@johnmcgarry1858he sure did call him a Puff and basically telling everyone out on TV Land the guy is gay.
The song was wonderful but the ending when they bring on the crew was perfect!
Amen! 🙂
The guys were really sweet.
@@sybilshaver1457 Yes!

"Peace and Love and everything else!"
Loved them so much!
They were so underrated. I love Mickey’s voice
Best idea, letting the crew come out front to say hi to everyone!
Never knew they could sing harmony that well.

this is awesome! how come I’ve never seen/heard this? I always put The Monkees right up there with The Beatles as harmony singers
Love how Peter & davy look @ each other 1:10
"Man, Micky is nailing that vocal!"
Feel good video of the week.

Davy was just the sweetest guy ever! ♥️
They were genuine nice guys.
Beautifully sung, great harmonies, in a good Spanish.❤❤❤❤
Its actually Portugese.
@@michaelfox2433 I'm from Argentinia so I speak Spanish (and do understand Portuguese). I tell you: It's a old Spanish carol and they're singing in Spanish.
@@haydeebursesi5332 I stand corrected ,....I was told this song was in Portugese many years ago and I never questioned it...thanks for correcting me.
@@michaelfox2433 It's a very old carol. You're welcome!🤗🤗
Oh how I loved the Monkees!
I was just a kid back then and watched them because they were funny. Little did I realize how musically talented they were. ❤
Stellar... Nez is so TOPS!!!!
what a treasure
That ending is so wholesome!! I've never seen it before, thank you for sharing! it seems like they were all having fun
I'm glad they listed The Monkees in alphabetical order in this one instead of sticking Davy first, and then listing the others as such. They were an ensemble.
I used to work with a woman who grew up in England. She said that in England, they say "Happy Christmas-" not "Merry Christmas."
Red alpaca cardigan sweaters - the epitome of 1960s cool. Merry Christmas to all.
My friend brother took piano lessons from Peter Tork. He had no idea who he was, I flipped out when I saw a picture if them. I was able to meet him at her brother's concert, and was able to have my picture taken with him as well.

I'm 43 and my first crush was Peter Tork when I was about 5 years old watching Monkees syndication in the 80s. That's so cool you got to meet him!
I never saw that extra part!! Thank you so much for uploading it! ❤
I have always loved this!
The Monkees - they got me through. . . ✨☮️🌼🌱🐶✨
Great harmony The Monkees
Still my favorite band since I was a kid. Greatest songs ever, I listen to all of their songs on Sunday mornings. The Beatles were meh, in my opinion. The Monkees were the best of the 60's.

This was great! I so miss the simpler times
Never knew that they did this one, always a favourite! They did a great version.
lovely! ❤❤❤ thank you
Love this song! Miss them!
This is great!! The Monkees could sing goood. Nice 1. Seasons' greetings 🌈
Based on The Kingston Trio's Guardo El Lobo on the Make Way album.
It’s funny how seriously the two jokesters, Mike and Micky took the singing, whilst Peter and Davy were ready to crack up at any second.
no they werent, they were looking at each other because they were in awe of their concentration
@@glitterdrip19 They were in awe of Micky's VOCALS as was I
They grew & learned from each other & thrived! ❤
I think they just knew how good this version was. Sometime's you know you've nailed it.
They all looked stoned. Functionally stoned. ✌
Beautiful - never heard this before
I first heard this 12 years ago when I bought the Monkees tv show on DVD to watch with my daughter - it's now one of my favourite Christmas songs. This just shows how well these four could actually sing. Also, I think this carol may be in Catalan, not Spanish?
Also, but surprised Davy got away with calling someone a poof on a kids tv show - did the Americans not know what it meant?!
Thanks for sharing! ✌️❤😊
I love The Monkees TVS Shows.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Riu chiu
Were some of those guys at the end the actors who played Wizard Glick's minions in the final episode?
❤
Love this
Wonder how Rick Klein felt about being called a poof on national television. 😅😅
I was a Lucy Kid.
I share Your sentiment right here! This is coming from Keith Jennings, born in 1965
quite a dearth of women on that crew
And melanin! The '60s establishment, amirite?
Did Davy mention Don Kirshner🤣
Why would he? This was almost a year after Kirshner was fired
Flat out outed the guy with the flower. His a puff, take him home.
Great special closing credits only used on one Monkee episode. Too bad you cut off the middle of the "S From Hell" logo.
A Spanish carole
It appears there’s no females nor any brothers on the crew. Nor any Chicos or any Zulus, on the crew
