was their "Hey Hey We're The Monkees" song not a clue? :D

He he he he.

:lmao

Yes, I had that same thought as I was typing it. But at least now "I'm a Believer".

You guys are a hoot! Thanks for the chuckles! :lmao

This stuff is funny. It would even cheer up Sleepy Jean. :biggrin:

The huge controversy about the Monkees was that they couldn't sing, or even play instruments I don't think....they basically made up the band for the show and then made them be a fake band. :)

That hoot you can hear is the last train to Clarksville. :)

Quite right, they were a made up band Venuscat Micky Dolenz (the drummer) could sing and was the lead singer of a band pre - Monkees. Unfortunately he couldn't play the drums although he did learn eventually.

Peter Tork had been around the early 60's Folk scene for some years and could play.

I believe Mike Nesmith could play a bit but he inherited a ton of money from his mom who invented Tipp-ex (true!)

Not sure what Davy Jones could do other than bang a tambourine. He was an actor so maybe they just wanted him for the TV series.

I think they fell between the two stools of being actors or musicians.

Davey Jones didn't have to do anything other than stand there looking pretty.

IMO.


Didn't they lipsink everything? Or was that just scuttlebut? I remember hearing that other session musicians did all the recordings.

They actually sang, but we weren't hearing them. Session musicians until 1967 when they insisted on singing and playing themselves.
Wonder what year the show stopped? :)

None of that meant anything to a little kid who's main focus on Saturday morning was trying to get out of doing yard work. Couldn't get that I'm a Believer song out of my head so I watched the youtube video earlier. Ouch!

Thanks MB, and I’m glad you got the tooth sorted out.

Bahahaha you guys crack me up! I loved the Monkees. I think I was in love with Davey when I was a kid 😂
But I had no idea they weren’t real! Nooooo! :lmao

Leigh I also loved my friend Flicka ❤️

Tuesday morning here and I am going to do some yoga. I did 10 minutes yesterday so am aiming for at least that again today. Also a walk. I also did 10 minutes walking yesterday. The minimum of the goals I have set for myself, but I did them :)
I read somewhere that it takes 21 days to form a habit. Hopefully after 21 days it won’t seem like such a chore lol :lmao:
But I know I really need to keep it up because my mental health has been suffering lately. I’ve been really emotional and all over the place.

Morning Weekenders

Had a cheery time reading your posts. :yup:

Midnight, glad you got to the dentist, sorry they couldn’t save your tooth.

Saou, there may be someone in the world who doesn’t know the pic of the crossing, someone, somewhere. I wonder :dunno:

I can’t shake off this lethargic feeling, had it for a few days now. Could be the heat. I can understand why people have siestas in hot countries. Makes sense. :yup:

See you later. xx

Morning Mags :)

With a little help from my friends, We can work it out, I feel fine, Come together, In my life, Don't let me down. :)

Andy I love your wit! :lmao

Done my walking and my eating, no biscuits, chocolate anything for a few weeks now. Getting to like grapes a little too much (lots of sugar) but hey I'm not perfect. I will never have Midnight's unwavering discipline.

Alfie was put on anti inflammatory's yesterday as he keeps going lame. Either arthritis or cruciate ligament damage. Hmm too many miles maybe - don't want to walk on my own. :(

Here comes the sun. :shine8pl:

Willow, Morning or evening I should think your part of the world. :wavey:

Kaily, aw poor Alfie. I hope he’s not in pain with his legs. How about a pushchair for when he gets tired. When I used to dog walk there was a guy with his two dogs in the park. One dog was in the pushchair most of the time, her being 18 year's young, but she did come out for a little walk now and then.

Thanks Mags. I have got a doggie pushchair but Alfie is far too young for that. I only use it when my dogs get elderly. Plus it is hard work on long country walks with rough ground. It is a bit of wait and see for now.

Fingers crossed all’s well. Alfie’s a tough little character. xx

Kaily, hope the anti-inflammatories quickly work some MAGIC for little Alfie! Poor little guy.
