Johnny Rivers with a quintessential Tim Hardin song. The difference in the two versions is this: Rivers’ version is heartbreaking; Hardin’s brilliant take, on the other hand, makes you want to slit your wrists. It’s just too hard to make it through…so, here’s Johnny Rivers.

How many just skipped over the Johnny River’s version
and popped the Tim Hardin link?

p.s.: Jack,
you’re usually right,
about many things.
But,..
I’ve been playing Monika
the Hardin version…
ALL DAY!..!
,..with my ear plugs in, naturally.
She’s just been humming and singing and dancing along(!), ALL DAY!
,..now you know the depths of my troubles buddy. π
LOL. Yes, it was a bit of a con in order to get people to listen to Tim Hardin π
But only if they were prepared. He can be an acquired taste.
And maybe Monika weeps at “Don’t Worry, Be Happy!” After all, you’re on the other side of the globe.
