@musicseriesshow: '80s Classic Started In The '60s 🎶 Billy Idol - Mony Mony Billy Idol had a number one song in the U.S. with his live cover of "Mony Mony" from 1987. Six years earlier, he released a studio version but it only made the U.S. dance chart. The original dates back to the 1960s with Tommy James and the Shondells and found its inspiration on the New York City skyline. In this video, we compare both versions by Billy Idol vs the original by Tommy James and the Shondells. 🎵 Billy Idol - Mony Mony (Live) (1987) 🎵 Billy Idol - Mony Mony (1981) 🎵 Tommy James and the Shondells - Mony Mony (1968) #RockMusic #CoverSongs #80sMusic #MusicHistory #Songwriting
