I’m a Believer – The Monkeys


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”

    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.

    Hi
    What radio station in Los Angeles plays music from Arctic Monkeys?

  19. hello all, great blog her. Keep up the good work. very informative :)

  20. Merle says:

    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”.

  21. serena from builders merchants says:

    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.

  22. Thanks for the text and good memories connected with this song. Definitely the good thing.

  23. I would like to start my own blog one day. This was a really nice blog that you made here. Keep up the success :P

  24. Great song and lyrics. It is one of my father’s favorite.

  25. Tony Lovett says:

    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.

  26. Anne Wolfe says:

    Great song! I wish you post more songs similar to this one with lyrics, of course.

  27. Great song! Reminds me of my childhood!

  28. My children like to listen to this song, because they think that it is Shrek singing.

  29. Why people in America always like to listen retro songs, as if there is no progress in the world of music.

  30. The only thing you can really believe is you and only you!

  31. If you really do believe in a true love, than one day you are going to find it for sure.

  32. Antique Tiffany Lamp mainly produce tiffany stained glass lighting products, stained glass decoration, hand painted lamps, galle lamps and bronze sculptures. http://antiquetiffany.com

  33. Ape-monkey!))) We all monkeys !!))) Give monkey revolution!)))
    Very fun song!

  34. Why can’t I listen to this song more than 2:30. Is it some kind of internet or browser problems.

  35. Don’t really like this kind of music. I prefer something modern much more.

  36. Is the retro music of the 80′s. If it is so, then I don’t like it.

  37. 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.

  38. I like the Shrek video clip with this music more than an original one. Much more!

  39. The lyrics of this song are awesome and the song by itself is simply great!
