Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind – MonaLisa Twins ft. John Sebastian

New Video!

Time for another video with our dear friend and huge musical influence, the one and only John Sebastian from the Lovin’ Spoonful! Back when he flew over to visit us to record the music video for our single “Waiting For the Waiter” we also made time for a few extra projects. One of this being a remake of one of our favourite Spoonful tracks “Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind”.

We adore this song. Something about it always felt perfect to us … the humor, the arrangement, the melody and lyrics with its tiny twists and turns. Such a well-crafted little gem.

The song is available on our album MonaLisa Twins play Beatles & more Vol. 3 and now we also have this little video to go with

Stay groovy, guys and gals!

  1. i only discovered you less than a week ago , while looking around you tube for musici had not heard before as i prepare for a left side catherization of my heart to repair multiple blockages.
    i’m a retired radio dj , working 48 years from 1969-2017 in Louisiana and Mississippi in the USA . i’m turning 68 years old next month.
    your music and your beauty have certainly helped me keep depression away as i prepare for my heart proceedure.
    i have multiple blockages i hope they can fix.
    your you tube site is great.
    i’m following you on facebook now and have shared several of your videos with my friends on facebook.

  2. That would be a hard choice to make.

  3. I’ve been a huge John Sebastian fan for most of my life, and I was delighted to see your version of “Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind”. Great work! And his harmonica playing on “Hey, Waiter” was superb, as well. Thank you, most sincerely, for both of those. Have you ever considered doing a version of “Coconut Grove”, or “Magical Connection”? I’d purely love to see how you treat those.

    I had previously seen some other songs of yours, mostly early Beatles tunes like “I’ll Follow The Sun”, “Drive My Car”, and “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”. They were outstanding, too, but “Hey, Waiter” shows that you two have some serious chops as songwriters yourselves.

    I’ll await the CDs.

  4. I have loved John Sebastian.both when he was with Lovin spoonful. and solo. And to see him now perform with what I consider todays best artist Mono Lissa Twins. Is a real treat. This version is fantantisic All you guys do justice to the song Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind. Thank you for allowing this video to happen. All the best to you all

  5. I have been a fan of John Sebastain since he first came out when I was a teen. Love his music; Love that you beautiful and talented girls are honoring him; and love your music always. It makes me smile.

  6. Congratulations, wonderful! Mona and Lisa, when you to coming to do a show in Brazil?❤

  7. A lovely song performed perfectly by the brilliant JS and the gorgeous MonaLisa Twins. Sublime singing again from the twins. So easy on the ear and the eye with their colourful sixties mini dresses that suit them so well. What’s next? ‘Darling Be Home Soon’, ‘Do You Believe In Magic’, ‘Younger Girl’ or ‘You Didn’t Have To Be So Nice’?

  8. Great!

  9. excellent !!! Merci

  10. I remember John from Woodstock (always wanted his tie dyed jacket????) great little song with lovely harmonies from the georgeous twins !! X

    1. Did you know that he’d tie-dyed that jacket and those pants himself?

  11. Awesome! You girls are exceptionally talented. I still think you should,in your spare time, Ha ha,get together with Sina on drums,and someone equally as talented on piano/keyboard, and form a Beatles all girl cover band. You would rock the world again I’m sure. Much❤️Always

  12. It’s so nice hearing this old Lovin’ Spoonful song again, and the three of you did such a fine job on it. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

  13. I love this! I was a teen in the 60’s and loved the album this was on. And I am a big fan of the you Twins! Thanks for all the good feelings!

  14. I am the same age as John Sebastian and remember him well. Just thinking that it would be great if you two could go on tour with him. Probably take a lot of planning.
    It would be wonderful to see you do live performances again. I also loved the video and the CD’s.

  15. I must admit I have procrastinated checking out your music until I watched this video. I was impressed! Now I’ll have to go back and check out what I’ve been missing.

  16. Superbe!

  17. Excellent! I remember when this was a new song…you 3 did it better????

  18. Wow

  19. Perfectly recorded, sound quality, blending, voice placings, twas professionally done. Congratz..

  20. Congratulations to this very awakening and inspire me. I have had the album of John Sebastian which I bought in 1971, contains of She is a lady etc…. Best regards

  21. Farout

  22. Recycling those old guys, I mean songs. I enjoyed the song and video.
    Keep playing.

  23. I’m blown away!

  24. Thought you might enjoy this Greg. Tim

  25. I love it!!!!!

  26. Throughly enjoyed your humorous rendition with a John Sebastian , great harmony , we need more! God Bless!

  27. who is the cameo performer?

  28. Excellent choice..great harmonies and nice picking Mr. Sebastian.

  29. Great ladies have always loved that song ????????

  30. Mona and Lisa may both have been named Jeanie. This is because they are both musical and vocal jeaniouses (Geniuses). OK. So I better keep my day job since standup comedy is not my forte. Love you guys anyway and love your singing with the great John Sebastian.

  31. Always loved John Sebastian and this classic song and so happy that Mona and Lisa are so blessed to meet great artists and the joy they have singing and performing with these great icons of rock and roll.

  32. I love this song! Cheeky and not to be taken too seriously. That written, the song is so much fun and easy on the ear. Well performed by all (including the cameo) the video is typical of the quality we have come to expect of MLT. And JS! What a star.

    Keep up the good work folks. 🙂

    1. who is that cameo?

      1. The cameo is Papa Rudi, as the concerned father!
