What is Monkees?
1.
The first band used to combine music and television, as we know it, on a large-scale commercial level, modeled after other bands, creating much controversy in the late sixties.
"hey, hey, we're the Monkees..."
2.
Sex gods who made great music and great television.Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork and Mike Nesmith. Sexy.
I love the Monkees. They are sex gods.

4.
One of the crappest crap bands ever that was made for TV.
Have you ever heard of the Monkees? That isn't Michael Nesmith's real hat!
5.
A fake band that, not unlike the Partridge Family or The Archies, was created for a television show. In the mid-60's, producers hired four actors and told them to act as though they were band mates and would be called "The Monkees". Three of the four actors were actually able to carry a tune and one or two actually could play instruments, but the music on the records was all performed by studio musicians. They hired some of the best pop songwriters of the era and had several Top 10 hits credited to their fictional band.
I dig some of the Monkee's songs, but "I'm A Believer" is not one of them.
