Good Evening

How's everyone's day been?
Mine was ok if anyone wants to know.

I thought, today, I'd share some of my favourite moments in some Monkees songs.
To make this list, these moment have to be make me laugh, I listen closely just to hear them or just make the whole day seem so very happy!

Sweet young thing-ah!
If you've every listened to the whole of Sweet young thing, a Mike sung song, the end 'Thing' has an extra syllable and it sounds... (dreamy voice) fantastic.
Here's the song if you haven't heard it (or have but you love it too!)

I'd also just like to say that the face he makes in the end is beautiful...

Ok, there's a lot of Mike on this list
The original version of What Am I Doing Hanging Round is something I listen to around three times a day and the video to go with it is as addictive.
There's about ten things that make me smile in this like when Mike turns to sing with Davy or when Micky messes about in the back ground but it is Mike's face during the second last chorus singing 'I should be riding on that train to san antone'

Again, here's the video:

It comes up at around 2:33, watch it, please!

I'm Gonna Buy me a Dog
Here's the first non-Mike entry.
I'm gonna buy me a dog is such a funny song. Every time I listen to it, I can imagine the four guys just messing about in the studio playing this song.
So this is a sort of three in one because it's Micky's Boop, boop, sh-bop, bop, ramalama  thing coupled with his having to go straight into I'm gonna buy me a dog and then finally, Davy's wonderful laugh. It sends me into giggles, even if I'm just walking on my way home and everyone is looking at me.

It turns up at 1;48 so, enjoy.

More tomorrow, I promise...
