Welcome to the official UA-cam channel of The Monkees, home of 60s chart-topping hits “Last Train To Clarksville,” “I’m A Believer” and “Daydream Believer,” as well as multi-platinum, #1 albums ‘The Monkees,’ ‘More of the Monkees,’ ‘Headquarters’ and ‘Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd.’
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 Beatles’ A Hard Day’s 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.

It’s 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.
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 ❤
お気持ちお察しします
どうか安らかに
❤
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
Yes😄
Cheer up, sleepy jeen
My freind my John Fitzgerald Kennedy actuality wrote this!
ビートルズはもちろんだけど、モンキーズも日本のGSブームに大きな影響を与えたことは間違いない。そして今でもこの曲は歌い継がれてる。モンキーズを馬鹿にするやつもいるが、音楽界の残した足跡は大きい。
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 😔
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.
Dad's favourite song, died in 2014, absolutely legendary song.
Same here
..
It is an awesome song 🎵!!!!
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. 😊
This song is so unbelievably gorgeous!
May 2024! Who’s with me???
Brings back a lot of great memories.
I'm with you! 👍🏴
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!
This cheeky chap from Manchester England smashes this song right out of the park 🎉
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 70’s (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.
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!
Friday 24th sep 2021 iam listening to this great song brings back so many memories loved the monkees watched there show 🧡🧡♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@annhughes1503 lol...me too!!!
Yes! I get that!!!
Absolutely sweeet that you cried !! 😍🤩🤣
Born in 1960 I had the pleasure of growing up in the 60’s and 70’s 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 😊
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.
Amazing！I 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 Michael Nesmith you’ll 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
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 don’t 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.
Better than any modern day pop song
So happy my father showed me this song as a kid… every Sunday morning before church this song was on.. love ya dad❤️
Be proud of your father! But, this is not the end! Someday you will be with your father again. Happy together!! 🙏💙🏴
Rest in Peace Mike Nesmith! Enjoyed their music then and now!
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 ♥
I love you you guys so much. I cried for days when Davey died. Thanks for your music. Mostly thanks for the laughter.
Hard to believe that there is only one surviving member of the Monkees
RIP Davy, Peter,and Mike
子供の頃から幾度となく耳慣れた曲がこんなに暖かくかっこいい人達によって作られた曲とは思いませんでした。何十年も前の曲なのに視聴する毎に胸の中が熱くなります。
Great memories
This music sends chills through me. RIP 🪦 Peter, Mike, & Davy 🕊. I am a “ Believer “
Another Monkee gone to heaven. RIP Mike.
@@dariowestern Pixies? Awlride!
@@dariowestern 😂 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 he’s not like that at all
Who's love this song 👉
One of the greatest Rock songs of all time! It's an undeniable classic!
YOU KNOW IT!!!
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 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 !
@@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..😢😢😢
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 !
🙏👏👍👍💖
Who‘s listening in 2024？👍
2020 o_O
Dave Chapelle 😂
Me ! Here from Northern lights!
Me!
Me ❤
Thanks to the guy who wrote it! It fits Davi’s voice perfectly, can’t imagine anyone else singing it, a classic!❤
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 🏴
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 dude he said three of the four monkees
@@ElChavo1128 read carefully
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.
Keep believing in daydreams.
RIP Davey,Mike and Peter 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙🏴🏴🏴
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.
My childhood innocence wrapped up in a great sing a long song
@@glennbartram2620 great song choice, Glenn. This song is very uplifting. The Monkees definitely had talent.
@@alexcarratu5554 yes
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 😊
Facts
I 100% agree my friend
I know what you mean…!!
Amazing to see a music video before MTV. A simple affair of 4 musicians just having fun.
I greatly miss that era.
It was a great time to be young!
Cherished Memories.
I was in 7 th grade when I heard this song I felt like a homecoming 👑 queen. RIP The Monkeys
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.
Mark M You’re an atheist. I get it. Enjoy your limited existence.
@@eriknanstiel1102
⚛ Death is birth in reverse. You see a bright light, go back into a hole, turn into goo and back into nonexistence.
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 believer…❤
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
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.
Remember when life was as simple as choosing between Davy, Michael, or Peter?
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 😝
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?
Na minha adolescência eles eram minha paixão amava está série 😭
I had the same exact experience in America at a dive bar in Illinois to the song Just a Friend by Biz Markie lolol.
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.
Couldn’t agree more. ❤
yesssssss
Listen to The Coral
G
Who's listening to it?I am they were the best in my day and I'll never forget them.And thank you for the memories
I’ve been an extremely great fan of the Monkees for a long long time!! Peter, Davy and Mike, you all live in my heart forever!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I pray for all of you a Rest in Peace in paradise. Micky, I pray for good health and long lasting life!! Thanks so much for the great music and love you all so very much with all my heart ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Always!
At :30 in there they are
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?
RiP........
Another piece of music history....gone forever 😭
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, it’s 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.
My brother-in-law passed away on 1st March. He loved this song.
sad
I’m sorry ma’am
He passed the day after Davy did, 12 years ago. RIP to them both.
I'm listening this beautiful song in 2024.
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!🙂
Good words
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.
Another fun song easy to sing along with 😊😊😊😊
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.
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.
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 💜💜
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.
Meeeee💟💟💟
Time is running out, I'm playing all these great old songs as often as I can.
Brilliant song. One of my all time favourites. Im 64 now and remember watching their show on tv .
Good stuff 👍, 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 🤔).
@@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.
"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.
Love listening to this 70’s music
'60's
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...😀
And we all cry to copy his dance moves😊😊
what? most people under 40 haven't even heard of them lol
68 and counting... and still listen to these guys!
69 years young 😁
No diría que mi juventud fue feliz
Pero en ese medio conocí 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

yep Feb. 29 2012..i do believe..Pretty sad too.I always he did the best Shing-a-Ling dance steps..
U2 played this song in 1996 at RFK stadium and the entire audience was singing…it was beautiful!
I'm 42 and this has been a favorite of mine for forty years. Thank you Mom for introducing me to music.
Beautiful song!! RIP Peter😢

No matter how horrible my day has been, this song never fails to lift my spirits.
Amen to that. I'm jivin
Seriously!
Song written by Neil Diamond!
Defo!! ⭐️
A friend of mine always says "keep your spirit high!"
Groovy!! ❤ the way Davey dances.
最近モンキーズとこの曲を知ったんだけど、好きすぎて一日中聴いてる。ほんとに。
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
My mother who was born in 1948 says this is her favourite ever song, we’ve all grown up with it. 55 years on and even my kids love it.
Timeless classic that’s guaranteed to liven up your day 😃
ずっと夢を見て〜安心してた〜😊
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,✌️🤟♏🎼🤪
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
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 😥💝💗💖❤
Marsha loved Davey!❤
idk why ppl are saying marvel made it famous it was literally one of the biggest songs from the 60s ahahaha
edit: it's been 2 years why do i still get notifications about this
I don't even know what wandavision is I just like happy songarinos
I've heard it on the radio for years before Wandavision, so it was already ingrained in my mind but it's nice that recent generations are discovering and enjoying it.
This☝👏👏👏
marvel Made it famous again Once by its own But marvel gave it a lil push
I don't see anyone who claming that Marvel made this song popular.
Just woke up from a nap, instantly listened to The Rolling Stones, and now I’m here. Thank god for them
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, it’s hard to grasp that it’s 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
We were all young once and the lucky few remain young forever in our hearts. R.I.P. Peter Tork and thank you for the happy music memories.
Yes, we were all young once! Miss those days!
George Bernard Shaw once said "YOU DON'T STOP PLAYING BECAUSE YOU GROW OLD; YOU GROW OLD BECAUSE YOU STOP PLAYING " I always enjoyed listening to the MONKEYS they were a good group to listen to, saw them once in long beach cali and that was a lot of fun, they were so funny, they were one of the best. R.I.P. Davy and Peter
I am 65, listening and singing with him allready third time in a roll, and crying like baby, tears are falling like waterfall bringing all fhe memories from those days of my youth with diferent music, diferent life philisophy snd emotions.❤
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 :)
@@rhequiemI was born in 73' too. I remember them on TV.
64 here… and still loving it!❤
🤗🥰 I understand completely ❤🩹💖
I’m right there with you Marina, I was born in ‘71 and I loved The Monkees through reruns of their TV show. This song always makes me feel good, brings me back to the late 70’s. Where has the time gone to…?

Better music, times, and the country for sure❤❤❤
Lyrics
Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings
The six o'clock alarm would never ring
But six rings and I rise
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
My shavin' razor's cold and it stings
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?
You once thought of me
As a white knight on his steed
Now you know how happy I can be
Oh, and our good time starts and end
Without dollar one to spend
But how much, baby, do we really need?
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it mean
To a day...
Thank you for part of the soundtrack of our youth..
I wish I could understand the meaning of the words of songs.
My absolute favorite song of the Monkees! Their music was and is so much fun to listen to!
I know mine too! I was three years old whent his came on and my brother was 12 and I would sit in front of the tv and say "Mike! Mike!" I STILL love Mike Nesmith- he wrote to me and sent me signed gifts a few times ove the years he was an absolute love, for sure! I treasure my letter from him! One of my first images I think of from that age of three was their legs walking intertwined like that! :P! I met Peter Tork in 1980 on Micky's brithday at the Playboy club in NJ- OH MY GOD I was toast - 26 French kisses he gave me- we were together like three hours- OH, I was just mezmerized by him! My mother was too- she said he was so intelligent and charismatic- he WAS too! His voice in my ear gave me chills- I will never forget the way he said my name, ohhhhhhh talk about swoon! He is tall too! I was 16 :) what a way to learn how to French Kiss! i didn't even have a boyfriend- never kissed a boy, util Peter WWOWOWOWO! Theh funny thing was, I said to my mother the next day that I didn'tknow why he was pressing my thigh with his knee-- she siad, "OH MY GOD! THAT WASN"T HIS KNEE!!!!"Kimberly
Check out Mickey making wacky faces at Davey Jones in the beginning of the song right after Davey stands up. I cannot help but laughing every time. Dolenz was and still is funny as hell!!
And this was the song that many other artists rejected. Even David Jones didn't want to sing it. But it became one of their 3 number one world wide hits. Go figure.
@@sidecarmisanthrope5927 I don`t think you were talking to me, but your comment came to my not. bell. I never knew anything about the backstory, if you will, on D.B., but it sounds like most Monkees tunes being brushed off with discain by the guys because they wanted to do their own material..sorry for misspell on disdain. Looking back with the mind of an adult and musician, the boys were really given a ticket to stardom and had a fuckton of good songs to work with. I still love some old Monkees tunes but they were just that; boys. Naive boys without a clue about the industry.
一時はつまらないものとしてほうみった
I miss all of you, The Monkees!
Yikes you scared me. Micky's still here!
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.
The Monkees were a highly effective and successful group. They worked together seamlessly to create music and entertainment that captured the hearts of many fans. Their collective talents and personalities complemented each other, resulting in a synergy that allowed them to achieve great heights of fame and popularity. Whether on stage or in the studio, the Monkees exhibited a level of teamwork and collaboration that set them apart from other musical groups of their time. Overall, the Monkees were a prime example of what can be accomplished when a group of individuals come together to achieve a common goal.
But their downfall happened when they wantedto do it ALL THEIR OWN WAY, the downfall was very quick! cheers
Lovely comment ❤yes it's true these were 4 totally unique individuals, but together they created something that will last forever. There will never be another Monkees 😢🌌👼🕉️
Granted, when they first started out they were the "Pre Fab Four" just doing a TV show. But they were all individually talented guys in their own right. One came from British theater, another cane from New York's infamous folk scene, another was a child Movie Star and the last was writer who went on to create MTV. When they recorded Headquaters, tthey proved to the people who in the beginning would't let record their own stuff that they were the Real Deal.
Today, I have tears in my eyes listening to this.... just as I did when Peter passed in 2019..... you’ll be missed, mike.... so so much along with Peter and Davy. Thank you for the music, memories and happiness 💕
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!
I’m 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 ❤❤
Oh cheer up sleepy Michelle. Look, he was only 3ft11in. Feel better now?
Loved watching these guys! RIP Peter Tork :(
And Davy Jones

🌍 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.
Their best song. I STILL get goosebumps when I hear it.
By far their best song
Absolutely Agree !
Pleasent Valley Sunday!
Me too
I will never stop listening to Davy singing this song! My favorite since I was a small one 😊
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.
The unmistakable voice of Davy Jones
Amazing!!!
👍 nice 👍👏😃😅😂
He could keep a beat, too.
Wasn't he wonderful...? And beyond cute!
He was so cute
Here after Peter's death. Him and Davy are together now. RIP ♥️♥️♥️
He and Davy . . .
So sad. He was my fave! ❤️❤️❤️😢
Strange how we are reminded of our youth, when one of your youth heroes dies.....
@@patknight9922 right said
@@patknight9922 Yes you are so correct.
Creci con su musica mis hermanas les gustaba mucho The Monkees ahora tengo 57 años y me llena de nostalgia su musica 😉😍🥰😔10 - Mayo-2024
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
I played this not long ago and the response from my mom was unexpected. She got a big smile on her face and said “Awww the Monkees! Reminds of when I was a little girl.” She’s pushing 70. So great to hear songs from your youth and it brings back good memories.
It was from my mom’s childhood. It was from mine from the Monkee’s reruns. It’s famous again today. You can’t keep a great song down!
Classic song. 🤙🏼
I will embrace 72 on 4/30 and I still love love this Davy Jones piece . . . I loved Davy.
I'm 68, never missed their show.
60's rule.
We can never go back, except in our memories....
@AnitaMariaWhite Felicidades por tus 72 aniversario🎂🍾🎉desde Mexico😮🥳
Nice story.
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!! 🥰🥰
Indeed... Me too...
Girl that sounds like so much fun. I wish I had been there to join you. 😄
Me 65 love then
You lived in good times
♥ This is my all time favorite Monkees song.
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
🥲
they were part of my childhood. their music and their tv show. i miss those days. 🐒
Couldn't agree more. Wonderful memories
Never heard this song before my auntie Jeans funeral, it was her song as her coffin was carried, and it was so beautiful. The lyric ''Cheer up sleepy Jean'' will always get me, that was the only lyric I comprehended at her funeral, and every time I listen to this song it reminds me of her. Its such a cheerful song, and she was such a wonderful, cheerful person. This is a beautiful piece of music for me to remember my auntie Jean, it suits her so well 💕💕
So glad it brings you great memories of a beloved aunt.
❤
I had a sister Jeannie, and she loved "Daydream Believer", too. I think she really liked the fact that Davy Jones was the lead vocalist in it. She, too, was greatly loved and was a beautiful person. She passed away in early 2020, a few weeks after our mother.
Amen
This made me tear up a little 🥹 I love everything about this
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. ❤🐇
💘🙏
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. ❤😀
