Missed last Monday, but I am back with an all time favortie of mines! I grew up watching the Monkeys! Love the music and of course the show. Here is the Original “I’m a Believer” and the Current Shrek version.
Have a great week!!!
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me
That’s the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.
Then I saw her face, now I’m a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I’m in love, I’m a believer!
I couldn’t leave her if I tried.
I thought love was more or less a given thing,
Seems the more I gave the less I got.
What’s the use in tryin’?
All you get is pain.
When I needed sunshine I got rain.
Then I saw her face, now I’m a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I’m in love, I’m a believer!
I couldn’t leave her if I tried
The Original version “The Monkeys”
“Shrek”

Hello from SpeedyCat
@Betty – That is a great song! Are you kidding me! We used to annoy my Mom with it
@Eric “Speedcat Hollydale” – Its still so much fun and the memories are just funny. We would totally act it with the Theme song
Great song! Hey, hey, we’re the Monkees! Very upbeat! Thanks for stopping by my blog today and taking the time to comment. Have a great day!
Wow I love this Shrek soundtrack, but didn’t know the original version of The Monkeys! Thank you for sharing and stopping by at my blog, Laura. You’ve got a first comment link button to your site on my post. Have a great week

This is one of my favorite childhood memories. Great song!
This used to be my son’s favorite when he was very young. The song was used in a tv ad, and every time he heard it, he would sing and dance. Great pick. Happy MM.
LOL! Love The Monkey’s! They need to do a Monkey Revival.
yipeee.. this video brings back sweet memories. Our gang always hummed this track.
yeah.. he he. Honestly, I dont see the need for a revival. The classic is the best and it will remain so forever. Kudos to you mate, for bringing this up here. Lovely.
Beautiful song, one of my favorite. I love disco very much. Thank you.
Love the Shrek version lol
Thanks for amazing memories, how long ago it was…
The Shrek version likes me more than old one, but anyway good song for all the times.
The original version looks a little naively, but anyway like this song.
Hi I have a quick question. What radio station in Los Angeles plays music from Arctic Monkeys?
Hi
What radio station in Los Angeles plays music from Arctic Monkeys?
hello all, great blog her. Keep up the good work. very informative
Old, old but anyway goodies, not so long ago I’ve listened The Marvelettes, so deep voices, music from 50-70′s looks a little bit funny but there were real “musicians”.
I’m sure this came back on tv not long ago. I remember a show with some characters who look a little bit like this. I’m pretty sure that I saw something like this on television and it was called the Monkeys. I may have it wrong but it was pretty old.
Thanks for the text and good memories connected with this song. Definitely the good thing.
I would like to start my own blog one day. This was a really nice blog that you made here. Keep up the success
Great song and lyrics. It is one of my father’s favorite.
The words in this song are very realistic and a lot of people can find the lyrics suitable for their life. There is no light in your life without love.
Great song! I wish you post more songs similar to this one with lyrics, of course.
Great song! Reminds me of my childhood!
My children like to listen to this song, because they think that it is Shrek singing.
Why people in America always like to listen retro songs, as if there is no progress in the world of music.
The only thing you can really believe is you and only you!
If you really do believe in a true love, than one day you are going to find it for sure.

Ape-monkey!))) We all monkeys !!))) Give monkey revolution!)))
Very fun song!
Why can’t I listen to this song more than 2:30. Is it some kind of internet or browser problems.
Don’t really like this kind of music. I prefer something modern much more.
Is the retro music of the 80′s. If it is so, then I don’t like it.
Its still so much fun and the memories are just funny. The words in this song are very realistic and a lot of people can find the lyrics suitable for their life.
I like the Shrek video clip with this music more than an original one. Much more!
The lyrics of this song are awesome and the song by itself is simply great!
