obsession

[joseyclosey]

My wife said she was leaving me due to my obsession with the The Monkees.


I thought she was joking......



and then I saw her face.....

Good one Joe. That darn song is 45 years old! Hard to believe.

"I'm a Believer" is a song composed by Neil Diamond and recorded by The Monkees in 1966 with the lead vocals by Micky Dolenz. The single, produced by Jeff Barry, hit the number one spot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart on December 31, 1966 and remained there for seven weeks, becoming the biggest-selling record for all of 1967. Because of 1,051,280 advance orders, it went gold within two days of release. It is one of the fewer than thirty all-time singles to have sold 10 million (or more) copies worldwide.

And now that we know all of that?

I was just thinking maybe half or more of the people reading that joke weren't even born yet when the song was popular and didn't get the joke.

[DuncaninFrance]

Actually, both halves of me were born then

[Niner]

Seems like Yesterday, doesn't it?

Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be.

[BobB1]

There's a shadow hanging over me.

Karl doesn't believe it because he didn't see it on You tube.

It hit #1 on the charts 6 months after I graduated from high school..............think I'll go lay down, I feel old.

Vern.

You feel old? I'm Comin' in on a Wing and a Prayer.
