The Monterey International Pop Music Festival was a three-day concert event held June 16 to June 18, 1967 at the Monterey County Fairgrounds in Monterey, California. Crowd estimates for the festival have ranged from 25,000-90,000 people, who congregated in and around the festival grounds. The fairgrounds’ enclosed performance arena, where the music took place, had an approved festival capacity of 7,000, but it was estimated that 8,500 jammed into it for Saturday night’s show. Festival-goers who wanted to see the musical performances were required to have either an 'all-festival' ticket or a separate ticket for each of the five scheduled concert events they wanted to attend in the arena: Friday night, Saturday afternoon and night, and Sunday afternoon and night. Ticket prices varied by seating area, and ranged from $3 to $6.50 ($21–46, adjusted for inflation).
There were five separate shows during the three-day festival. Each performance lasted around 4 hours. Festival goers could buy a full weekend ticket, or tickets for separate shows. The showground arena, where the performances took place, had 5,850 stand seats, but many others had floor and perimeter standing tickets. Tickets were also sold to allow people to enter the fairgrounds without access to the performance arena. Crowd estimates for the festival have ranged from 25,000-90,000 people, who congregated in and around the festival grounds.
Pop music (a term that derives from "popular") is a genre of popular music that originated in its modern form in the Western world during the 1950s and 1960s, deriving from rock and roll. The terms "popular music" and "pop music" are often used interchangeably, although the former describes all music that is popular (and can include any style).
Pop music is eclectic, and often borrows elements from other styles such as urban, dance, rock, Latin, and country; nonetheless, there are core elements that define pop music. Identifying factors include generally short to medium-length songs written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure) as well as the common employment of repeated choruses, melodic tunes, and hooks.
Definitions
David Hatch and Stephen Millward define pop music as "a body of music which is distinguishable from popular, jazz, and folk musics".
According to Pete Seeger, pop music is "professional music which draws upon both folk music and fine arts music".
Although pop music is seen as just the singles charts, it is not the sum of all chart music. The music charts contain songs from a variety of sources, including classical, jazz, rock, and novelty songs. Pop music, as a genre, is seen as existing and developing separately. Thus "pop music" may be used to describe a distinct genre, aimed at a youth market, often characterized as a softer alternative to rock and roll.

I didn't come to kiss the bride So don't seat me on either side I just came by to see the show I'm close enough, I'll stand right here I can see and I can hear; course I heard it all years ago. I hear the organ play a minor melody Is that the one they call their song Church vows always, make love sound so easy But "As long as you live" is so long. I didn't come to kiss the bride Nor come to call the groom outside, no I can't stay and say hello That's not the reason I came by I came today to say goodbye to Something that happened years ago. I hear the organ play a minor melody Is that the one they call their song What God joined together, let no man put asunder But He sure put us under, right or wrong? Give the bride and groom my best And tell her mom and all the rest that I was here but really had to go Reception line's too long outside, and I didn't come to kiss the bride I did all that years ago. There's no reason I should stay The groom won't shake hands anyway, and
