Who would have thought drinking dirt would make me feel so so good?
Since Mike Nesmith passed away this week, I’d like to share “The Monkees’ Christmas Episode” from 1967. If you don’t have time for the whole thing, at least listen to their very lovely a capella performance of the 16th century Spanish Christmas carol “Riu Chiu”, starting at 20:47. The links above the video are from Rick Horowitz, Stephen Lemons, Jesse Walker, Kevin Wilson, Walter Olson, Mike Siegel, and Cop Crisis, in that order.

Wow, I saw that episode! Wouldn’t remember (age 7), if not that I was already acquainted somehow with the song.
The most amazing thing about the spreadsheet fill is that someone managed to do it by accident.
They played in reruns on Saturday morning until the early ’70s, so you might remember it from some point after first broadcast in ’67. That’s how I remember them.
Mickey is the only one left now. 🙁
I’ve already spent the last two days trying to learn to sing Different Drum properly for karaoke this week. It’s hard to get right.
I’m amazed they were able to sneak a Gay joke into the episode.
TWO gay jokes; Davy calls one of the crew a “poof” at the end (mild British slur, similar to “fairy”).
I must’ve missed that one. (I knew the word already. Learned it from Monty Python.)
