Monkees, The - (Theme From) The Monkees Lyrics

Are the Monkees still alive

We're too busy singing to put anybody down!

loved the monkee's still have their first album.

They singing "We were the young generation"! I wish, they still were.

While i was too young to watch this, i did see this in its syndication some years later, although i remember the songs when they did come out even though it's been 50 years.

Hey hey we’re the fake Beatles

I don't get it.

SJW are gonna have a good time with the name.

Wasn't there a blue colored vinyl that was a greatest hits? Monkees symbol in yellow? Can not find it.

Wow. I was about Six, and
monkeying around in the back yard.

Yes I did enjoy your first video and very much! I was drinkin' some beer and havin' a blast and rocked my head to the music so hard it's a wonder I didn't get a headache. You kicked butt and thank you very much for the rock-out!

For a manufactured group, they destroy modern crap with sound and lyrics.
😎

Ésa canción lo cantan Kevin Bob y Stuart cuando Scarlett Overkill los lleva al sótano de la tortura

I was so blessed to meet 2 of them in person - Davy Jones (RIP) & Mickey Dolenz/RIP Peter Tork.

theme song for black lives matter

Parecia helado de zapote en cucurucho
Atorada en la coladera y tengo que adelgazar refl

I remember when I became a fan of The Monkees. August 2012, I was 12 years old. My dad bought me one of their greatest hits CD’s, and I was hooked. Davy had recently passed a few months earlier in February, and I thought it was so terrible. This morning, I found the news that Peter had died. I didn’t know WHAT to think or say, nor did my brother. I was also immediately took back to the day my dad bought me the CD. Things like that you never forget.
RIP Davy Jones & Peter Tork.
Thank you for the music and memories.

I have almost the exact same story as you, I became a fan in 2012 when I was 11 years old. I saw them on a local TV station and I became obsessed with them.. When Peter died it was like a family member dying because I had gotten so close to them. I'm glad to see someone else with a similar story :)

2 gone. R. I. P.

Rest in peace Peter, you had a long and good ride.

Rest in Peace Peter

Rest in Peace Peter Tork

I miss Davy Jones too.

I remember this opened the Monkees TV show

I love the Monkees😍😍😍😍

Forza italia

Minions brought me here

I had just started fourth grade when the Monkees first debuted on NBC. I like most of their songs.

Yo la cantaba a los 4 años...grandioso escucharla

I grew up in Chile with these guys.

Who else remembers this from the 90s movie Monkey Business starring Thora Birch?

I can’t believe that an old friend of mine used to play guitar with Davey Jones I always thought Shin Dig was full of crap but Roger is gone now probably playing up in heaven with him and a few others

Don Lemon better not here this song he will think it's Racist

This song is now racist!

If they have something to say, they can say it. Jeez.

Kurt Cobain watched this! (The show)

This was Kurt Cobain's favorite song as a kid!

This sounds like Simon & Garfunkel crushed into the Kinks.

I love this

The studio musicians they got to do these songs were top notch; list to the tight playing, especially at the guitar break in the middle.  Very well composed guitar parts and great playing.  ..... And it sounds like a stand-up bass was used...great choice as it drives the rhythm so well.

Im i the only 14 year old here

Nope, old music is also starting to become a trend with younger demographics.

RIP
Davy Jones

We’re just trying to be friendly,
Come watch sing and play,
We’re the young generation,
And we’ve got *SADDAM HUSSIEN*

this is my concert song in school!

MY SWEETHEARTS!!!

It has been a very long time since I heard this. This is still great

Song reminds me.  I wanted my older cousin who was 16 and a total fox, and she loved the Monkees, then so did I.  And we would dance together all the Monkees' songs.  Quite a few good tunes actually.

Neil Diamond wrote all of the Monkees music and the Monkees didn't really play instruments but I still love them anyways. Mike Nesmith is my favorite

Neil Diamond wrote a few of their hits like I'm A believer and A little bit me and a little bit you, also Boyce and Hart who wrote the theme song and last train to Clarksville, also Carol King and Geoffry Gofffin who wrote Pleasant Valley Sunday. They had a whole stable of writers writing for them.

Ride the lightning----Not even close.

Had to hum this song playing Cranium last night. Immediately failed cuz I was like who tf are the monkees

Que copiones a los Beatles no son originales

When I was a kid I used to watch the show, but wasn't able to understand the lyrics. Thanks to the internet, and people like you, now I can. Thank YOU for uploanding this.

Makes me wanna grow my hair.

Anybody remember when they were on Boy Meets World?

luv it, how can anyone not like this?

good song

Hey hey we’re the Beatles

the wrecking crew wrote and performed all their material. Fact.

Wasent this in that old Wwe fan thing?

The minions

How many noses does a Monkee have?
lets dance

The band that influenced the Beatles amazing

I never clicked on a video so fast.

minions anyone?

THE MONKEES
by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart

🎵 Here we come, walking down the street. 🎵
🎵 We get the funniest looks from, anyone we meet. 🎵
🎵 You know whatever we want to, do what we like to do. 🎵
🎵 The only time to get restless, is always something new. 🎵
🎵 Anytime, or anywhere. 🎵
🎵 Just look over your shoulder, 'cause we'll be standing there. 🎵
🎵 Hey, Hey, we're The Monkees, 🎵
🎵 and people say we're monkeying around. 🎵
🎵 But we're too busy singing, 🎵
🎵 to put anybody down. 🎵
🎵 We're just trying to be friendly, 🎵
🎵 to come and watch, sing and play. 🎵
🎵 But we're the young generation, 🎵
🎵 and we got something to say. 🎵
🎵 Hey, hey, we're The Monkees. 🎵
🎵 You'll never know where we'll be found. 🎵
🎵 So you better get ready. 🎵
🎵 We maybe coming to your town! 🎵

On the way back from the dentist, I noticed a little thrift store that I'd not known about, so I stopped in - only to find that the operation was devoted entirely to baby clothes. The rule at community-based thrift shops, of course, is that you have to buy something, even if you're clearly outside the target demographic. I was beginning to feel desperate when I caught sight of four CD's on a shelf in the back - and one of them was "The Monkee's Greatest Hits."

I always thought that flashbacks were just an excuse to make fun of hippies, but those songs caused my brain to regurgitate information laid down in the lower sedimentary layers by my experience of being eight years old. It was a mixed vomit bag, including some calcified artifacts of Monkeemania. My favorite Monkee? Mike, natch. His favorite color? Green. Same as mine.

The listening experience is somewhat different for me now, though. That's a quality package there, a fully-processed musical confection, painstakingly assembled from market-tested components (a glistening chocolaty shell surrounding a creamy nut-based center topped with frothy nougat), and presented with industry-standard professionalism. The complexity of the design and fabrication work involved with this investment opportunity required fairly high-caliber intelligence - so some humor that was not initially obvious ended up embedded in those grooves. I would pay money to view a film of the entire stage show, as long as that footage included the opening act - when it was the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

I love how the chord structure and the drum punctuation build the tension.

"Here we come, [dit-dit dee, dit-dit dee] ...walkin' down the street, ...we get the funniest looks from, ...everyone we meet." ('Cuz they're just s'darn groovy-lookin' - that's why.)

Then the exuberant release:

"Hey, hey - we're the Monkees! And people say we're monkeyin' 'round - but we're too busy sangin'* to put anybody down."

*The lyrics, oddly, don't seem to have been specified to be delivered by the cockney midget deployed as the lead singer. Maybe that figure was an afterthought - surrounded by prime specimens of Suburban Teenager as a clever way to address the devastation delivered to America's musical-industrial complex by the British invasion. This whole project may have been something of a rush-job, fueled by a certain amount of panic and desperation. I think Stephen Stills was lined up for the slot filled, sort of, by Peter Tork, but in the end, I guess, he just couldn't fuckin' do it. Trivia question: On what percentage of extant Monkees LP's has the "T" in that surname been turned into a "D"?

And now - back to our show. Several go-rounds build to the climactic moment.

We're just tryin' to be friendly - come 'n' watch us sing 'n' play!
We're the young generation - an' we've got somethin' to say...

OK, at this point we're primed for the payoff profundity. But wait - now for some more masterful mid-decade instrumental tension-building - and then ...here it comes...

"Hey, hey - we're the Monkees!" etc.

I love this show and song one of the best theme music ever

Georges of the Jungle 2 bought me here

The Monkees have sold more than 75 million records worldwide. At their peak in 1967, they outsold the Beatles and the Rolling Stones combind.

worlds first or 2nd boy band. Dont know if the beatles were before them.

the Beatles came first, they actually copied the beatles and made a tv show. They know how to play instruments but were not allowed to use it till later...

Jojit Tomenio cool. i think they sort of sucked i do like the doors though
