Hey Hey It's the Monkees! (1997, Part 3/5)

[@kurtb8474]

I was so glad the Monkees did this special. It was well-produced and well-liked by the critics. I made darn sure that my grade-school kids watched this and tapes of the 60s TV show. I wanted them to enjoy the Monkees like I did when I was their age. I grew more fond of them than I did the Beatles because I got to visit them once a week. We were lucky to see anything from the Beatles once a year. Kudos to the Monkees. You had a good run.

[@motoemoto9453]

que hermoso es volver a ver a mis Monkees tan maravillosos y de grande yo los vi de jóvenes tan lindos ahora acá los veo maduritos pero siguen con su encanto natural están en mí corazón por siempre.

[@almi3332]

@kurtbaird--Such a great idea! What a wonderful teacher! Such good times!❤

[@donnacarden4045]

it good to see them hang out togther singing and having fun Rip davey love the monkees then,now and forever god is great all the time

[@sandraandrews9907]

RIP not only Peter, but Papa Nes 🙏

[@nazarenewyckoff6830]

As he plays this lovely woman, Davy looked like somebody beloved grandmother, don't worry I meant that in a good way.

[@MegaMusas]

"This is the 3rd dimension, wich is normal. Well... monkees normal."

[@wickedfeylady]

Davy as Ethel Merman: PURE GOLD. Miss ya, honey.

[@theresarichter4607]

Wow! Davy as Ethel Merman I couldn't stop laughing:)

[@Gremlins1957]

Man! How did I miss this in 97? I would have loved to have seen this. Their story is the most unique story ever. They started out not as a real Rock group, but Evolved into one. (Pardon the Pun) And they just get better with age. I always in a way felt sorry for them because they so wanted respect in the Rock world. In some small way they achieved some respect. No it will never be on the level of the Stones or even the Kinks, but you know they were what they were.

[@jemma1957]

A sad day for all... RIP Davy Jones. I saw you live in concert in Melbourne Australia many years ago....!

[@LaraLeeCupcake]

@cleancab - Actually, Nez wrote and directed the program. It had also been his idea to do "JustUs" as well.

[@eadecamp]

Davy always looks way too good as a woman.

[@zebulongrasko]

Now it looks a way too suspicious. Personally, I can not find his number an amusing one.

[@Peaceblank]

I love how Peter copys Chico when he starts playing the piano.

[@theresarichter4607]

@3:15 " We're the Monkees " yes they will always be my boys :)

[@Kimberwheat]

he will for ever be in our heart's r.i.p Davey u will be missed

[@Gremlins1957]

Some say it was the TV show that hurt them, others say it was the deception. I think it could have been a combination of a lot of things. But the bottom line was the music. I forever believe that if the "Monkees" could have written and produced some really cool songs on their own, none of that other stuff would have mattered. The songs they had just were not up to par. Although Nesmith wrote some pretty good stuff like "Listen to the Band." "Sunny Girlfriend" "Circle Sky".

[@jackiefahey8430]

Hey Mickey So sorry bout Davy Am watching old talk shows when reunion happened U we're the true talent And I loved u growing up

[@bradpix51]

Oh boy... I worked on this show. The first time they tried to shoot this scene on the beach, a lite drizzle turned into a full out rain. We had to cancel the shoot and head indoors & scramble to shoot the "Throw Up" scene.

[@emmc9898]

How’d they interact offscreen?

[@LaraLeeCupcake]

It really is. They took down parts one and two. If I ever find the damn thing again, I'll try and get it up somewhere else...

[@jaydeebee69]

Thanks for having it here. I wouldn't have known it existed if not for you.

[@kjoyr814]

you may be confused....Shirley Jones IS the step mom of David Cassidy and the mom to his 1/2 brother Shawn Cassidy...both singers/actors in the 70's.

[@MAMsMom97]

I understand the thing about taking down parts of the episode. I got suspendeded b/c I posted the entire Six Million Dollar Man pilot movie called "The Moon and the Desert." But I remember the night this came on. It was the year before we got DirecTV, and we were still using an aerial for TV. The nearest ABC affiliate to us was 3 hrs away in Pittsburgh. I was all over town looking for someone with cable!!!

[@rickedwards7793]

This is pretty good... Typical Monkey madness!!!! LOVE IT!!!!

[@theresarichter4607]

The 4 dimension to me seems cool and "Flash back " :)

[@flurkoneko]

"we just need to do MUSIC!" liked.

[@crazysingingchick]

This is not a pipe... This is not a band... ROFL!

[@almi3332]

Omg It's "The Most Prestigious Country Club In the World"! For Reals!

[@motoemoto9453]

gracias por devolverme a mis Monkees estoy en Argentina y me encantaría lo pasarán en algún canal otro vez .Gracias por poder verlos en mí celular la próxima en castellano por favor y Gracias

[@flclfan85]

am I the only one who thinks Mike's "once every 5 years or so" comment was his way of hinting at the band's disgust of the scripts from the old series?

[@robertburns9759]

How could I forget Davy in drag!

[@alfx5432]

Hard to believe 3 of them are gone now.

[@peteraddison8323]

mel Brookes should have been involved with this the Monkees really still had it so many years later

[@Chiselnyc]

@bradpix Nice to have details about the shoot. The Monkees Show was the very first TV series I watched on my own and wasn't tuned in because my parents watched it.

[@EAG1015]

Davy dressed in drag a couple of times. check out the episode, "Some Like It Lukewarm". He was in drag for most of that one.

[@ridingstar]

@solidfoamsoul thanks so much for keeping up what you have, I'm enjoying watching it :)

[@Springamatul]

good this is the Monkees after 30 odd years and look good.

[@robertburns9759]

Love the 60's Monkeemobile.

[@jcall811]

Who in their right mind stands on a beach wishing they were in antarctica?

[@timpennington7765]

The Monkees Alive at present: Micky Donlez, Peter Tork, (Michael Nesmith??), Dead: David (Davy) Jones.

[@missnewbienoob]

Nesmith, at the time I'm typing this, is on tour with the First National Band and doing conventions like the badass he is. Dolenz is hot on twitter. Peter is on Facebook. Davy is on Heaven Wifi; just pray, he'll get your message.

[@SquiggyGirlForever]

Micky and Mike are touring as a duo for the month of June.

[@jayaye21]

Shirley Jones was the Step-mother of David Cassidy and the mother of Shaun Cassidy. David Bowie changed his name from Jones to Bowie because of the popularity of Davey Jones.

[@swarlock]

The other guys dressed up in drag in the old show too. This time it was Davy's turn.

[@diogocatalano9557]

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[@sonyab1974]

Peter: No Sandwich if the pig talks sandwiches wouldn't work. ROFL! Woman: Once, hundreds of years ago, four guys moved into this house and went crazy, and never moved out. ROFL! Great story. :)

[@Gremlins1957]

I think Mike was their writing strength. If they had just gave him Cart blanch on the music and working with the group you might have seen somthing a little better. But this was their destiny.

[@Screengems1]

awesome. I love these guys!!! :)

[@67jpt]

I love these guys but, seriously, their legs need some serious sun! How can four guys who live in a beach house be so darned pale?! *joking!*

[@TERESAELLISTREE]

Davy Jones the heartthrob of the 60's. What was so amazing to me was the Shirley Jones being his mother. I use to watch Hay Hay with "The Monkees", every Saturday morning. I just wish I still had my Monkees lunch box that I had back in them days!

[@SquiggyGirlForever]

Oohkay. Shirley Jones was not Davys mom. Shirley was David Cassidy's Stepmom and also played his mom on TV. Davy's mom Doris died when Davy was 14 - in England

[@tamioftroy]

In it's own way - just as strange as 33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee! Saw this back in 1997. WHY won't they release this on DVD?!?

[@partridgefreak]

Davy as Ethel Merman. Holy crap on toast!

[@amieerobertson9682]

Really, beside, Davy Jones's mother died in England, when Davy was fourteen years old.

[@oepolish]

how the hell did I miss this !

[@heatherbaker362]

Wrong "heartthrob" - Shirley Jones was the STEPmother of fellow heartthrob David Cassidy ("The Partridge Family").

[@squirm13]

There is a dvd with this title, i dont know if it is this, it is all over the place, ebay etc.

[@MichaelCelineGreys]

Shirley Jones was David Cassidy's stepmother. She was not related to Davy Jones. I remember this special, I just wish all 5 parts were uploaded. Part 4 is still missing. This special had to do with the release of their album Justus ( the last one with all 4 members) I will miss Davy Jones so much. thanks for posting.

[@Gremlins1957]

And Davey....we will miss him.

[@Gremlins1957]

"Day Dream Beliver" is the Monkees best recorded effort in my opinion.

[@armadafanforever]

Okay, the scary part is that Davy looked just like my Great Aunt Ginny... scary shit man, scary shit

[@johnny10301968]

@JadenYukifan28 Why would Mike Nesmith force you -tube to take down this tv special from 1997?

[@RevSpike]

@squirm13 send link - i can tell ya..... There was a Disney biography out at the time, this TV special, and a VHS called "JUSTUS"; each very different from each other.

[@CarolineSaysStuff]

Yeah! Mike is all changed, even his voice has changed, the tone, the accent and all. Everything that I love about him is gone.... :( Good thing at least Micky is still good ol' Micky! :D

[@angelashock9837]

carocatho I think he has his twang, not as strong though.

[@susanmccormick6022]

@@angelashock9837 Still told I have my twang even after years in exile (!)But I know it's not as strong.

[@LaraLeeCupcake]

@teresarushlo2009 - Dude, seriously? Shirely Jones, the american actress, is only 11 years older than Davy. NOT his mother. Jones is a common name. There are lots of people in Hollywood that are not all related.

[@swimmom67]

@teresarushlo2009 Shirley Jones is the mother of David & Shawn Cassidy. David was on The Partridge Family with her and Shawn had a solo career.

[@JohnWick74]

Davy IS MISSED DEEPLY! :'(

[@karynsouthwell1319]

And Peter now too.

[@donnamiller5222]

9

[@maliburide]

@jcall811 That's because that just so Monkees to do that...If you don't get it, it can't be explained to you.

[@TheHeLennon]

arr, rest in Peace Davy lad x

[@JobinatGH]

@JobinatGH And for that matter, David Bowie's deal name is David Jones. Do you think that Shirley is also his mother? Or that he used to be a Monkee? Please do your research before posting, don't spread ignorance.

[@JobinatGH]

@solidfoamsoul Shirley Jones is Shaun Cassidy's mother, David Cassidy's step mother. She is American, and very clearly NOT Davy Jones' mother.

[@shirleychan6036]

Even in the 90 Davy will always be a good looking woman

[@RevSpike]

@squirm13 i was saying there were THREE things out at that time - the tv special which pretended it was just another Monkees episode, 30 years later (i have a copy i taped from tv when it was one, then there is the commercially-released Rhino VHS called JUSTUS, and then theres the Disney special bio called "Hey hey We're The Monkees". I've been collecting since 74, I'd be happy to help with any questions if I can! Dyu have all the albums yet?

[@groovymovie3213]

Davy as Ethel wtf!

[@RingoDolenz]

1:40 Arctic Monkees? I videotaped this at the time, but I didn't have great reception, so it was a bit grainy. Still, it was very good.

[@jadewarlock]

@cleancab Out of all four of them, Mike tended to be the one who didn't want to do reunions. Given that he probably inherited his mom's inheritance for Liquid Paper (Yes, she invented it) among other business successes, it would be to do it more for love). He wasn't the first one to leave the band though - it actually was Tork.

[@karenmilcarek8299]

Love the zaniness

[@SueWNY]

I hope Rhino releases this on DVD at some point!!

[@screamingeisha]

@cleancab I highly doubt that. Mike's mom invented Liquid Paper. When she died in 1980, she left half of her $47 million to him.

[@squirm13]

@RevSpike i have a biography from uk channel 4, which was very in depth, and another one, but not seen the disney one, or the justus one, which i will probably get.

[@LaraLeeCupcake]

KZbin took them down. I can't re-upload them without risking complete suspension, so I'm leaving these parts up so that some of it is here at least. ;/

[@evarph]

The taller guy is Michael Nesmith? If he is he looks so different as when was young, the rest haven't change much, just look older, but all still look cute.

[@amieerobertson9682]

Davy has nice legs, and he still could play a nice looking woman, some like it hot.

[@MsBebe1356]

does anyone know what beach that is??

[@robertburns9759]

They all has musical talent in the 60's but the producers (the money backing the show) wanted to be safe and hire writers and musicians. I always liked them. I had the hand puppet!

[@coniks2]

@WhovianRentPhan13 Actually, he looks better than I do with or without makeup. Shiver, even moreso now for the fright factor.

[@misamisa31]

cool, so how was it working with the monkees?

[@markprescott4060]

Yeah, but it provided quite a chuckle!

[@cute74girl]

davy is just so cute

[@egray1972]

@solidfoamsoul Sirley Jones is David Cassidy's step mom!

[@prettyfaythe]

The 4th dimension reminded me a bit of Elephant Parts

[@mitchrosenbloom]

where can i buy this?

[@locsman]

r.i.p davy

[@GHOSTCHASER01]

WHAT HAPPEND TO PART 4?? OF THIS VIDEO?!!! IT GOES FROM PARTS 1,2,3, BUT MISSISING PART 4 !!! WTF???!! IS UP WITH THIS??!!!!!!!

[@gregersen80015]

[@amieerobertson9682]

I agree and has beautiful legs too.

[@ijustwantonenormalday511]
