Posted: 9/21/04 at 9:46pmThe Monkees. Anne Murray sounds like she's trying to force some upbeat energy into the song and it's not working.

Oh I love the Monkees, I always have. I've got the bobble head doll set, all the records, the CD compilations, I saw Davy Jones in a solo concert and then I saw the 3 of them (no nesmith) together three times...
Oh the best thing was at one of their concerts Barry Williams was the opening act and he did this HYSTERICAL take on eminem and sang "Will the real Greg Brady please stand up?" it was so awesome.
And hang on, when did you win the discus?

Posted: 9/21/04 at 10:15pmThat show was cheesy even by Nick at Nite standards- not that I mind cheesy. There's a reason I was watching Nick at Nite in the first place. :P

Posted: 9/21/04 at 10:17pmYep on this one it is the Monkees. Ms Murray's cover just does not come close the original!

Posted: 9/21/04 at 10:19pmCJR - haven't you mentioned on other threads that you're in your early 20's? I hardly think you were watching the original episodes.

Posted: 9/22/04 at 9:04ambeing unfamiliar with the monkees rendetion - I happen to love the Anne Murry version - but then I have nothing to compare it to.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"

Posted: 9/22/04 at 9:10amOh redhotinnyc2, it's Davey Jones sining it!! (sigh!) There was also a rumor that none of them wanted to sing it and Davey lost the coin toss. But that could just be urban legend.

Posted: 9/22/04 at 9:32amI admit I was not a davey jones fan...I've never been into the whole "twink" thing - give me a manly man anyday - you know, like Howard Keel in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers - YUM...

The Murray rendition is proof that country music and 'ludes don't mix.
(But I still love Anne -- anyone ever see Varla J. Merman do her in his "lebisan du jour" cabaret act at the defunct "88s?" You had to be there.)

Posted: 9/22/04 at 11:28amI saw the pre-Monkees Davy Jones as the Artful Dodger in the origianl Broadway cast of OLIVER in 1964. Eat your hearts out!
#19re: Daydream Believer
Posted: 9/22/04 at 12:01pmWell of course I preferred the "non-threatening" males...Davy Jones, David Cassidy, Tony DeFranco...

Definitely The Monkees.
And, I saw them live, in person, at the height of their popularity. Talk about DATED. Damn!

Rathnait, that was too funny! You forgot to add Donny Osmond and Bobby Sherman to that list....LOL
And to answer the original thread's question:
THE MONKEES

Posted: 9/23/04 at 1:43pmThat's because I wasn't into them, Marquise. And as any self-respecting child of the 70's knows, you liked EITHER David Cassidy OR Bobby Sherman. Not both. Never, ever both.
