As a contemporary of the show's launch, I of course hated the Pre-Fab Four. Later I have come to love the songwriting choices to be found therein, and sympathize with the actors' plight presented in "Head."

Oh you, now I'm going to be singing "Hey hey we're the Monkees!" all day long!!!

Whenever someone mentions the Monkees, I always think about poor Lon Chaney Jr. and how he was reduced to doing a guest shot on the show. It was a long way from Lennie and the Wolf Man.

I was not even a twinkle when the Monkees show first came out. However, It was reprised on Nickelodian when I was about 13 or 14 and I watched it religiously after school every day!! I loved that show. I had such a crush on Davey.

Pre-MTV music videos. I was crazy about the Monkees back then.
