A jewel of the Spanish Renaissance!!! One minor mistake The Monkees make is saying "Dios guardó EL lobo..." and it should be sung "Dios guardó DEL lobo. Still, the polyphony of the original Cancionero is spot-on and the performance is wonderfuly sincere and natural. This speaks volumes about their good musical taste & culture.

It’s nice to hear Davy’s vocal on this, as I think Mike’s buddy John London sings on the studio track in his stead Or maybe my brain finally ID’d Davy’s part when it could match it to his lips moving

I first heard this 12 years ago when I bought the Monkees tv show on DVD to watch with my daughter - it's now one of my favourite Christmas songs. This just shows how well these four could actually sing. Also, I think this carol may be in Catalan, not Spanish?

Also, but surprised Davy got away with calling someone a poof on a kids tv show - did the Americans not know what it meant?!

I saw this episode a few months back. With the rich kid who hated Christmas. And the Monkeys helped him see the light.😊 And then this vocal. I was entranced by it. And I'm so glad to see this and relive its wonder. I don't know what it meant, but it's beautiful.🎄🎅

in 1968 during their Australian tour I took the week off school amd just sat on the fence outside their hotel window. After 3 days a security guard approached me and took me inside the lobby. There to greet and thank me for my dogged persistance was David and Mickey who kissed me on the cheek, hugged me and signed my autograph book. Later that evening the security guard let me give my autograph book for Michael to quickly sign as they were heading to the car to go to their concert. I was 11 and though I was punished severely by the school and my parents it remains one of my happiest memories

Their voices and harmonies are brilliant. The most impressive thing might be that they had to learn to sing it phonetically. Catalan is a pretty unusual language.

Besides the song which is just wonderfully sung, this has to be one of the best Christmassy things I have seen in a very long time. Makes me nostalgic for those programs that would take the time out to do something like this. You just don't see this today in shows.

The first time this episode aired we, of course, didn’t know that song was coming at the end. The second time I saw it I was in front of the television with a cassette recorder in front of the speaker to record it. I listened to that song so so many times. Their harmony was so flawless and beautiful. And Micky’s solos were perfect, he had the ideal voice for that.

My friend brother took piano lessons from Peter Tork. He had no idea who he was, I flipped out when I saw a picture if them. I was able to meet him at her brother's concert, and was able to have my picture taken with him as well. Ironically I had the biggest crush on Mike, but I didn't want to ask about him because of the hard feelings between the two of them.

This video brought a great big smile to my face, many thanks for sharing it. I've been a fan of the Monkees ever since their show 1st aired, watching it in London, but had no idea of this song until now. Amazing performance, they definitely gelled well together with awesome harmonies. Also, agree the last part where they brought the crew in front of the cameras was a very sweet gesture on their side, totally keeping with the Christmas spirt. A very poignant moment in time captured for posterity. 👌🙏😀

My childhood, fun innocent times. The Beatles had gone weird and scary to me (aged 11) so the Monkees took over for me for a couple of years. I went back to the Fabs with a vengeance later, but the Monkees were great and produced some classic tracks. Mickey Dolenz is one of my favourite singers and it turns out all four were real talents.
