Think how Stephen Stills must feel--he auditioned for a role on that show and didn't make it!

It seems to me that they just keep repeating those words over and over and over and over again. That was their theme song right?

I always liked them doing Day Dream Believer. I have a friend who is a wonderful musician that has remade this song. It's so great. He bought permission to record it and now has it on his latest CD. it's a slower version than the original, but I actually like it alot more. 8)

They did not repeat the same thing over and over again. It was great song, really deep lyrics. For those who need a reminder:

MONKEES' THEME SONG
The Monkees


Here we come
Walking down the street
we get the funniest looks from
everyone we meet.

Hey, hey we're the Monkees,
and people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing,
to put anybody down.

We go wherever we want to,
do what we like to do.
We don't have time to get restless,
There's always something new.

Hey, hey we're the Monkees,
and people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing,
to put anybody down.

We're just trying to be friendly,
come watch us sing and play.
We're the young generation,
and we got something to say.

Hey, hey we're the Monkees,
You never know where we'll be found.
So you'd better get ready,
We may be coming to your town.

Hey, hey we're the Monkees,
and people say we monkey around.
But we're too busy singing,
to put anybody down.
