I was wondering what everyone's favorite Monkees song is. Mine is You Just May Be The One and She Hangs Out.

Crystal :ufo:

my favorites are Last Train to Clarksville and Daydream Believer.

My favorite Monkees songs are "Randy Scouse Git", "For Pete's Sake", "Star Collector," "She Hangs Out" (Part 2), "Tear The Top Right Off Of My Head," "Tear Drop City," and "I Don't Think You Know Me".

And as an added tidbit, my favourite Monkees album is Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd.

My favorite songs are She, Pleasant Valley Sunday,Valleri,What Am I Doin' Hangin' Round, Last Train From Clarksville, I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone.

Daydream Believer, Pleasant Valley Sunday, I wanna be free, Star collector, I LOVE the HEAD album!

Mine change daily, but for right now I'd say Sometime in the Morning.

My favourite Monkees song is She. Years ago I played it for my roommate at the time. She was also a Monkees fan but hadn't seen the show or heard any of their music in years. Her reaction to the song wat that it was the most depressing thing she'd ever heard. She still loved it though. LOL.

Daydream Believer

My faves would be:

Sweet Young Thing
Door Into Summer
Mary, Mary
For Pete's Sake
Love is Only Sleeping
Pleasant Valley Sunday
You Told Me

My favorite is Daydream Believer. Of course, I think I like it the most because it has Neil Diamond's signature written all over it. Even when I hear it, I can imagine that he's the one singing it.:dance:

FYI (if you don't know) Daydream Believer was NOT written by Neil Diamond. It was written by John Stewart.

Neil Diamond did write 4 songs for the Monkees though.

I'm A Believer
Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)
A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You
Love To Love

Hi all, I'm a newbie, and a Monkees fan since around 1985-1986, during the 20th anniversary. My fave song is Randy Scouse Git, where my name comes from...and although not a fave song, the 9847 is from P.O. Box 9847. :)

AMML has mentioned many of my favorites. There are some on this post I have never heard.

Last Train to Clarksville
Mary, Mary
Valerie
I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone
And lots of others

You Just May Be The One, Porpoise Song, St. Matthew, Sunny Girlfriend, The Door Into Summer, For Pete's Sake, Look Out Here Comes Tomorrow, Circle Sky (Live), Tear Drop City, Valeri (Birds and Bees version), The Poster.

"Daydream Believer"

"Pleasant Valley Sunday"

"Last Train to Clarksville"

"I'm a Believer"

"I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone"

"A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You"

Wow, I haven't been on here in AGES!!! I just got a reply to an old message today and decided to long on and check things out. My Monkee faves are still "A Little Bit Me, Little Bit You" and "Some of Shelley's Blues"... not to say that I dislike any of their other songs, of course! :D

Daydream Believer
I Wanna Be Free
Shades of Grey (always makes me cry!)
What Am I Doin Hangin 'Round

I know Neil Diamond wrote I'm A Believer (as well as A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You and Look Out Here Comes Tomorrow), but I think it was ex-Kingston Trio member John Stewart (who charted in 1979 with Gold) who penned Daydream Believer.

As for my favorite, it would have to be Mike's Listen To The Band. I pretty much like every song Mike did. Even the ones he didn't write, like The Door Into Summer.

-Roy

Door into summer and every song from the Head soundtrack!

-JPD:roper

...but I think it was ex-Kingston Trio member John Stewart (who charted in 1979 with Gold) who penned Daydream Believer - Roy

Yes, that's correct.

Lil bit of trivia: Stevie Nicks sang on Gold. :)

i liked all the songs from HEAD except maybe DADDY'S SONG

She, You Just May Be The One, Sunny Girlfriend, Love Is Only Sleeping, Door Into Summer, Tapioca Tundra, Porpoise Song, As We Go Along.

I like all the songs but my favorites would have to be the theme(i sing that all the time), last train to Clarksville, Free, Daydream Believer

My favorite is Daydream Believer. Of course, I think I like it the most because it has Neil Diamond's signature written all over it. Even when I hear it, I can imagine that he's the one singing it.:dance:
I must correct you: Neil Diamond wrote the song "I'm a Believer"; John Stewart
is the composer of "Daydream Believer." The former was sung by Micky Dolenz, the latter by Davy Jones.

"I'm a Believer" (from MORE OF THE MONKEES)
"It's My Life" (from JUSTUS)
"Dyin' of a Broken Heart" (from JUSTUS)
"Never Enough" (from JUSTUS)
(Hey, what can I say? I think that 1996 reunion CD was highly underrated!)
"The Monkees" (Theme Song) (from THE MONKEES)
"Last Train to Clarksville" (from THE MONKEES)
"Daydream Believer" (from THE BIRDS, THE BEES & THE MONKEES)
"Star Collector" (from PISCES, AQUARIUS, CAPRICORN & JONES LTD.)
"Sometime in the Morning" (from MORE OF THE MONKEES)
"Gonna Buy Me a Dog" (from THE MONKEES)
(I loved Davy's inside joke, "You can only train elephants," a reference to
Micky's first TV series CIRCUS BOY)
"Look Out, Here Comes Tomorrow" (from MORE OF THE MONKEES)
"The Day We Fall in Love" (from MORE OF THE MONKEES)
"You Just May Be the One" (from HEADQUARTERS)
"No Time" (from HEADQUARTERS)
"Cuddly Toy" (from PISCES, AQUARIUS, CAPRICORN & JONES LTD.)

"We Were Made for Each Other" (from THE BIRDS, THE BEES & THE MONKEES)
"Valleri" (from THE BIRDS, THE BEES & THE MONKEES)

Gee! I had forgotten how many good songs the group had!

"When Love Comes Knocking At Your Door"
"Sometime In The Morning"

I'm a Believer...the only Monkees song I'D call a classic ( just my own opinion here, yours may vary ;) )

I may be one of the only Monkees fans who does not like Daydream Believer.

I may be one of the only Monkees fans who does not like Daydream Believer.
Im the other one....and the version by Anne Murray is even worse!!!

I can't honestly say Daydream Believer was really a favorite of mine, either. First of all, guys, didn't it occur to you that you might be overworking the word "Believer?" I'm surprised there wasn't a follow up titled I'm A Daydream Believer. Second of all, our local station only gave that side of the record airplay and ignored the fabulous B-side, Goin' Down, penned by the group and Diane Hildebrand. They were at the crest of their fame in late 1967 and they were playing both sides of the single, as they still did with the Beatles, and would soon do with Creedence Clearwater Revival. Whenever DB played I would stew and say "play Goin' Down!" If their next hit absolutely had to be a Davy tune, a better choice would have been Cuddly Toy from Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Jones, LTD.

-Roy

Neil Diamond's "Look Out, Here Comes Tomorrow" (his follow-up to "I'm A Believer"), with a great vocal by Davy, and great instrumental backing!
And ANOTHER one is "Daily Nightly", with its "psychadelic" sound and Moog
synthesizer background (and Mickey's wailing vocal!).

As We Go Along was the first dance at our weddding. It's a perfect, beautiful song.

I'm also very partial to many of the songs on the first "Missing Links" LP - Carlisle Wheeling, Nine Times Blue, Storybook of You, All of Your Toys. Nailing down one favorite song is pretty impossible, though.

I think I like most of their songs but my favorites are

Look Out Here Comes Tomorrow

I'll Be Back Upon My Feet

Daydream Believer

Mary Mary

Pleasant Valley Sunday

A little Bit Me A L ittle Bit You

Cuddly Toy

My favorite is Daydream Believer.

Daydream Believer, and Pleasant Valley Sunday!

Lady's Baby... Peter's voice is beautiful on that song

I have many favorite Monkees songs I do love Daydream Believer :)

Favorite songs written by a Monkee:

Micky - Midnight Train (accoustic version)
Davy - You and I (Justus version)
Peter - Lady's Baby
Mike - Little Red Rider
The Monkees - No Time *

* Trivia: The authorship of the song was credited to Hank Cicalo, who was their engineer on Headquarters, but it was actually written by the Monkees. I think the lyrics are just awesome. According to Micky Dolenz, there are refrences to Bill Cosby : hobereebinhobersobin... To Andy Warhol: Andy you're a dandy, you don't seem to make no sense... and to the cops and "frodis" : Running from the rising heat to find a place to hide, the grass is always greener growin' on the other side... ;)

I was wondering what everyone's favorite Monkees song is. Mine is You Just May Be The One and She Hangs Out.

Crystal :ufo:
my fav anything really that mike sings cause hes my fav monkee! but i've always loved what am i doing hanging around i love love that song theres just something about it!

My favorite is Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow).

:cool: wow and you want to know the sad part about all that is i have all of those monkee songs :lol: every single one of them (sighs) i guess thats why i'm such a big monkees fan i guess!
