Best Monkees Song (Television Only) - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

silentbri · 07-19-2000, 03:05 PM

Which song that was performed on the TV Show is your favorite? I had to add the "Television Only" part because there are so many great songs that they did which never made it onto the show... did they ever perform "Listen to the Band" on the show? I don't remember it ever being done...

Anyway, MY favorite song from the show was "Auntie Grizzelda". It had a really psychotic and frantic feeling to it, and I remember that it made me think Peter was a lunatic when i first heard it!

They performed Listen to the Band in their special 33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee.

I really loved so many of their songs,so I can't narrow it down to one.But the songs I remember hearing on television before I bought their records include I Wanna Be Free (sung in a very moving episode),I'm Not Your Stepping-Stone(the flip side of I'm A Believer),Shades of Grey(which I could relate more and more to as I got older)and Star Collector(a good example of their later musical days).

I liked I Wanna Be Free,Your Auntie Grizelda,You Just May Be The One and the Monkees' theme song.

The Girl I Knew Somewhere.

That was the song that really got me into the monkees, and convinced me to buy the Listen To The Band box set. Plus, Julie Newmar was in the episode the song appeared in!

My fav songs from the show were "I'm A Believer" (definitely), "Star Collector", "Sometime in the Morning", "Daydream Believer", and "Pleasant Valley Sunday"

Sean Snow · 06-28-2001, 07:03 PM

I've only heard two (Daydream Beleiver and The Monkees Theme), it would have to be "Daydream Beleiver".

Buckeye Deb · 08-02-2001, 09:58 PM

Oh my! Too many! Daydream Believer is on top! There were two new ones when they made their comeback but I can't remember the titles! I had it on cassette and wore it out! Does anyone know the titles? They were made for their return?

danzin01_1983 · 08-13-2001, 12:27 AM

Mine have to be "Words", "For pete's sake", and "saturdays child"

Last Train To Clarksville
Daydream Believer
I'm A Believer-the last 'cause if I remember it right it was the
song they sang on the eppie where Peter sells his soul and
they have to take the Devil to court to get his soul back!

Manda · 01-20-2002, 01:29 AM

Randy Scouse Git and Daily Nightly are my two tops from the show, and the Porpoise Song is my other favorite, but that's from their movie Head.

Peace,
Manda

I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone is a hard rock classic in my book! I STILL put it on mixed tapes today....it fits nicely with Ozzy,Guns and Roses,Iron Maiden........fits right in.

Was All of Your Toys ever on TV? That's one of my many favs.
