I remember this being an "audience participation" song when it was played in the clubs; whenever he got to the "Mony, Mony" part, the crowd would yell "Hey, get laid, get f****ed!" in perfect time with the music.
And here I thought for decades it was a song all ages just would get up to dance at every wedding reception.....🤔 apparently it should have been the wedding dance song cause of what you claim happens afterwards.....
If you'd like to hear the original by Tommy James & The Shondells, you can find it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qdrx9F6WEzM.html ✌ It dropped in March 1968, just in time to be super popular at our high school graduation parties! Some other hits from them are Draggin' the Line, Crystal Blue Persuasion, Crimson and Clover, I Think We're Alone Now, and Sweet Cherry Wine.💞🎶
Tommy James & the Shondells originally recorded the song “Mony Mony” in 1968 after landing on the song’s title in a way that was anything but rock ‘n roll. From Tommy James: So we knew what kind of a word we had, it’s just that everything we came up with sounded so bad. So Ritchie Cordell, my songwriting partner and I, are up in my apartment up at 888 Eighth Avenue in New York. And finally we get disgusted, we throw our guitars down, we go out on the terrace, we light up a cigarette, and we look up into the sky. And the first thing our eyes fall on is the Mutual of New York Insurance Company. M-O-N-Y. True story. With a dollar sign in the middle of the O, and it gave you the time and the temperature. I had looked at this thing for years, and it was sitting there looking me right in the face. We saw this at the same time, and we both just started laughing. We said, ‘That’s perfect! What could be more perfect than that?’ Mony, M-O-N-Y, Mutual of New York. And so we must have laughed for about ten minutes, and that became the title of the song.
Instead of handing out little gramophones to "Rock" category winners at the Grammys they should hand out little statuettes of Billy Idol complete with fist raised and trademark sneer...welcome to the 'BILLYS'...

AKA the Hey, Mutha F-cker, Get Laid, Get F-cked song. 😊 Nope, not kidding. When he sang it live, it was the audiences part to sing after Mony, during the guitar riff. He mouths it a couple of times in the video. It became part of the song that needed no editing from the record company or radio stations because it got stuck in our heads just like The Roof, the roof, the roof is on fire…
I hope our friend JM doesn't have problems with YT . His silence makes me think it could be the case. I'm sending you good vibrations JM and I'm sure we are all waiting for you with open arms. Take cake my friend.
@@AliasMark69 You suggest White Rabbit? I stay with with this song. If I say another one like the group I realy hate, I quit. This is his page not mine.
