The Monkees were a made-for-TV pop group composed of Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz , Davy Jones and Peter Tork. The 1966-68 NBC show was a fast-paced farce interspersed with musical "romps" featuring the band's catchy tunes written by professional songwriters. Despite the show lasting just two seasons, the Monkees became a real recording, touring group and are remembered as iconic pop-culture figures of the 1960s. (Source: thetvdb.com)

61	Music Video - “The Christmas Song”	2018-12-17
The vast majority of the new Monkees holiday album Christmas Party was produced by Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne, but on the two tracks where Michael Nesmith sings lead (“The Christmas Song” and “Snowfall”) he instead worked with his sons Christian and Jonathan. Here’s a new animated video for “The Christmas Song” that was directed by Jonathan Nesmith, though the song itself was produced by Christian. The video takes place in the surreal, psychedelic world of the Monkees TV show at Christmas time, complete with their mascot Mr. Schneider wearing a Santa hat, Davy Jones dodging kisses under a mistletoe and the four members of the group wrapping up presents while dressed as elves. It’s bookended by Nesmith and Micky Dolenz chatting about the holiday and taking a boat ride through the cartoon world.

Old school fans of the group will recognize elements from their Sixties television sitcom, including their mannequin Mr. Schneider and the Jiffy IQ Test that said Peter Tork had “total stupidity.”

52	Behind The Music	2000-01-01
A mostly accurate account of the history of The Monkees musical journey. Many eras of their music are over-looked but surprisingly, eras often over-looked are talked about. Of course the Donnie Kirshner debacle is covered with varying stories between the innocent and guilty. Sadly not much is said about the 1969 years as per usual. Yet, the 1976 10th Anniversary of 50% of The Monkees with the brainstorm that was, "Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart" is covered. Being this documentary was completed in 2000, The Monkees 30th Reunion and recording of "Justus" is covered. What is great about this documentary is it contains all new interview footage of Dolenz & Tork. Interview footage of Nesmith & Jones is borrowed from the "Disney/Delilah" documentary "Hey, Hey "We're The Monkees" but in many cases, especially with Nesmith

33⅓ Revolutions Per Monkee" is the name of a rarely-seen special starring The Monkees that aired on NBC on April 14, 1969 Charles Darwin the famous evolutionist takes The Monkees through various stages of evolution until they are ready to brainwash the world via commercial exploitation. Hatched in giant test tubes, the four are stripped of all personal identity and names: Micky Dolenz becomes Monkee #1, Peter Tork becomes Monkee #2, Mike Nesmith Monkee #3, and Davy Jones Monkee #4. Each Monkee attempts to regain his stripped personal identity by thinking his way out of captivity into his own world of fantasies. Monkee #1 (Micky) performs an R&B up-tempo duet remake of "I'm A Believer" with Julie Driscoll; Monkee #2 (Peter) reclines on a giant cushion in eastern garb and, to the lilting backing of sitar and tabla, performs "I Prithee (Do Not Ask For Love)," a gentle number concerning spiritual values. Monkee #3 (Mike), in an inventive split screen number, sings a country tune, "Naked Persimmon (The Only Thing I Believe Is True)"; and Monkee #4 (Davy) capers about in short pants and frill collar in fairytal
