Re: The Monkees

The Monkees actually performed some really excellent songs especially as they had great songwriters working for them such as the Tommy Boyce/Bobby Hart partnership and Neil Diamond.

Re: The Monkees

I was born in 1965,and i had a wonderful childhood watching the monkees on telly throughout my infancy.My favourite was Davy Jones,as my mum said he was from britain.Next favourite was Mickey.The lead singer of the Byrds wrote a song about the Monkees,slagging them off for being a made for television band and not a real band.

Re: The Monkees

Yeah, the Monkees were cool. They're one of those sensations which unite my wife and I, despite there being nearly ten years and a continent between our growing-up years. Recently bought both complete seasons of the Monkees from the States. Still silly, still funny, still SOME cool music on there...

Mickey was my favourite - I won a competition in a magazine and got a signed photo!

Re: The Monkees

I had the complete collection of the Monkees trading cards; which you got with those packs of tiny pieces of chewing gum. If you turned the cards over and fitted all the pictures on the reverse together, it created a large picture of the Monkees playing a gig.

Re: The Monkees

i remember the series with great fondness being part of the bbc weekday morning schedule for the summer holidays which seemed to be on a rota along with those badly dubbed serieslike the flashing blades,on white horses and robinson crusoe

the jack nicholson wrote movie "HEAD" which the monkees did was really psychedelic and weird they dont show that on telly very often

Re: The Monkees

I used to watch this. It used to follow some show with an elephant dog and monkey in which the theme tune was "one banana, two banana, three banana, four". I heard that it was "the Monkees" themselves in the costumes, but I don't know if this is true.

that'll be the banana splits!!!!
