Their most famous song is I'm A Believer??? What about The Monkees' Theme Song or Last Train to Clarksville or Goin' Down?!
I used to love the Monkees. I still like them, but I'm not so obsessed. Mind, I was never over their looks, but their music is (was, whatever) cool. p.s. I think their version of I'm A Believer (which is actually a Neil Diamond tune- go Neil!) is about a trillion times better than the contemporary version playing on the radio these days.

I like The Monkees, though they're not as good as The Beatles.
 I'm A Believer is one of my favourite songs.

That was a really fun show and the music was pretty good considering they were a band manufactured for the TV show. I watched them when I was in junior high when the show first aired and had a mad crush on Davy Jones. Probably still have their first album somewhere around here.
Bits of trivia (not vouching for the accuracy of my memory): Davy Jones was the Artful Dodger in the Broadway stage version of Oliver Twist; Peter Tork was a high school teacher; Mickey Dolenz was a child actor in Circus Boy on TV; and Mike Nesmith's mother invented White-Out. |

They had a good show...I loved the episode "Monkee vs. the Machine"-it had a classic dialogue. Here's some of it...
(Peter is being interviewed for a job by a computer) COMPUTER: Your name? PETER: What? C: Thank you, Mr. What. And your first name? P: It's not what... C: Mr. Notwhat What. And your occupation? P: No, it's Peter. You dig, Pete? C: Occupation: You dig peat. And you can imagine how it went from there...
