Need to remember....driving me crazy

That's Mike Nesmith of "The Monkees" fame. I realize I am a total dork, but humor me.

Seriously??? I thought it was a WAY older one than that.

Livin' It Up

Some people find this hard to believe, but the Monkees damb near invented music videos. Michael Nesmith was also a damb creative guy, easily the most talented Monkee. (and yes, that's Joe Namath in the video)

perhaps 12 volt man...as Jimmy wrote that song based on a story that Nesmith relayed to Jimmy about some guy in Mexico who would charge up his batteries (for his blender) and party like crazy until the blender stopped working.

Thanks, S/P.
Indeed it was Livin' It Up from the Tales From Margaritavision video.
The Monkees didn't DAMN NEAR invent music videos, they DID invent music videos, and yes, Sir Robert Michael Nesmith was definately the most talented of the Monkees.
He and Peter Tork were the only professional musicians of the four of them.
The other two (Micky Dolenz and David Jones) were each professional actors.

P.S.-Michael Nesmith's mother is also credited for having invented the "white out"-the liquid stuff used in offices to correct typing mistakes.
I don't know what I did more of over the years-listened to the music of the Monkees, or use white out to correct my gaffes.
Of the 432 actors who cast for the roles of The Monkees, these were the four chosen. One of the ones who DIDN'T get a part as one of the bandmembers was Steven Stills. Some of you may have heard of him.

If you want to know anything about Mike Nesmith??

Ask Barry.....



Trust me on this one... he knows!

Thanks everyone!

Mickey Dolenz did have a great set of pipes though ..... there are a few Monkees' songs where he really took over (Steppin' Stone was simply incredible). Dolenz sang lead on most of the Monkees' hits.
Oddly the least talented Davy Jones was the most popular. He did after all take Marcia Brady to her prom (as well as being featured on umpteen zillion Seventeen Magazine covers).

He was selling shirts out of the back of a van under a big sign that read JOE'S SHIRTS.

It figures someone who writes about Critters would know about Monkees

Micky Dolenz was/is a GREAT singer, and an even better actor.
Some of his better songs he did as a Monkee, to me, were:
I'm Not Your Stepping Stone
I'm A Believer
Sometime In the Morning (GOD, how I LOVE that song)
Take A Giant Step
Mary, Mary
Daily Nightly
Randy Scouse Git
Auntie's Municipal Court
P.O. Box 9847
I Love You Better
D.W. Washburn
Steam Engine

A not so well known fact about Davy Jones-he was a child actor, and, at age 17, appeared as the Artful Dodger in the travelling musical "Oliver."
They were given a slot on the American variety show "The Ed Sullivan Show" on Feb. 9th, 1964, which, incidentally was the same night these OTHER four guys from England made their American TV debut.
Their name escapes me at the moment, as do some of their songs.
Perhaps someone can help me out.

Are you talking about that one hit wonder band who sang that song " She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah"

That, and I believe there was some song about wanting to hold your hand.
