According to the programme last night, they are mostly still in the music business. Davy Jones still sings Monkees songs!

I thought they were hired as actors who could sing? Admittedly, I missed the first part of the programme last night, but I thought that is what it said? :confused:

Someone or other said that they learnt to play during the run of the show, so that, eventually, they were playing along, but they were still not allowed to play on the recordings....

well, i know for a fact that davey jones was a musician beforehand, because i own his record.

It was his mum, and it's called Tippex!

Isn't tippex a garbage removal company?

Vixiha if JC had a job he wouldn't be on 75 every hour of the day.

Anyway, yeah the Beatles had nothing on the Monkees....:rolleyes:

Mike N. however was a good songwriter and What Am I Doing Hanging 'Round is an alltime favorite of mine.
 
Oh and Sweet Young Thing was a very good song too. I'd like to see it covered and put on the radio.

And another one that I can't remember.
 
I met Mickey Dolenz

once years ago in Baker Street tube.
He was producing kids tv shows in London. I shook his hand and told him I'd really loved the Circus Boy stuff he did, he did a really huge blush - me astonished as I thought he'd be a reet stuck up bastard, but he wasn't 'e were luverlee like. He said he'd come full circle. I forgot to ask him what happened to his co-star elephant tho' :D

The Beatles were a better band though - Yellow Submarine was tops!!!!

I'm genuinely not being sarcastic here but that seems like one hell of a non-sequitor.

Are you talking the song or the film?

I've never heard of 'tipp ex'. How does that word relate to using something to white out a mistake?
It's just a brand name. The word Hoover doesn't relate to vacuuming but people commonly use that as a generic term for it.

We don't use the term "to white out" so maybe that's why they decided to use the catchy Tipp-ex. Woner if Michael Nesmith gets a royalty from that too? Or even Pritt??

Actually, it's all moot, anyway. Who uses White-out in the age of computer printers?
