shadowkatDay #12 of the 30 Day Music Meme- a song from your preteen years. I'm not sure if this is meant to be a song that I listened to a lot, or had been recorded back then. I listened to a lot of music back then, everything from Helen Reddy to ABBA to the Carpenters, to well...The Monkeeys. Also there were Disney Movie Soundtrack Records, Musical Recordings, and all of my parents, Folk, Jazz, Classical records.
But at that time, I remember being in love with The Monkeeys, who my Dad liked to call a poor man's Beatles. And my favorite was...Davy Jones. My best friend and I, at the time, were in love with him. And made a point of seeing his appearance on the Brady Bunch, where he sung our favorite song..
Here he is singing it on the television episode of the Monkeeys in which it premiered.
The song was written by John Stewart for The Monkeeys. It premiered the year I was born in 1967. (So I'm going to have to find something else for that song category - aren't I? ) But I heard it on The Monkeeys, when it aired on Saturday morning in reruns, and sang it with my friends in 1974.
So it was from my preteen years, one way or another. Also it kind of shows, my memory of songs is very visual. I remember the song, because I saw it on a television show and had a crush on the singer.
