    Of course I remember them.........

    Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
    And people say we monkey around.
    But we're too busy singing
    To put anybody down.

    They were the reason we would rush home from Saturday morning FS. My redemption for putting in my token 2 hours !

    The Monkees? What a wonderful made for TV band. I say that because watching those old shows brings a lot of memories back. My older sister would do this funny dance during the theme song opener. I remember it today, what great choreography.

    Mike Nesmith's mom invented liquid paper years ago. I always got that trivia question correct.

    I absolutely loved Davy Jones. Does everyone know that Davy Jones appeared on the same Ed Sullivan Show the night the Beatles first appeared on the show. He was part of the "Oliver" production that appeared. He played the Artful Dodger.
