The 'THE' is a yellow-gold faceted jewel, and the 'MONKEES' guitar logo is a red metallic rubberized dot print. 100% fine jersey cotton. You won't find this shirt anywhere else, a great gift for the fan of the 60's pop group phenomenom The Monkees, Davy Jones, Peter Tork, Mike Nesmith and Mickey Dolenz. Known for hits like Last Train To Clarksville, I'm A Believer, and featured on an episode of that other 60's iconic TV show The Brady Bunch. What began as a group of actors/musicians portraying a musical group for a TV series, eventually became a bonafide musical sensation. Jimi Hendrix was the opening act for their 67 summer tour! On their TV show, The Monkees used techniques rarely seen before, including characters breaking the fourth wall (talking to the camera or even to off-camera staff), fantasy sequences, and abrupt inserts and jump cuts. Episodes featured a musical vignette - short, self-contained films of songs which in retrospect, were the birth of the music video, before M-TV was even invented. A ground-breaking group, often compared to the Beatles. Monkee hysteria was on a par with Beatlemania, dubbed Monkeemania. Like the fab-four, the Monkees were called the 'pre-fab four' to connote their fabricated beginnings on TV. Their music is as popular today as ever, 'I'm A Believer' was covered by the group Smashmouth for the Shrek film, bringing the Monkees music to a new generation. The group members continued to tour into 2002. Pay tribute to this iconic musical group, a symbol of 60's psychedelic rock and all that is wacky and wild. ![]() The Very Best of Anne Murray $6.25 1.could i have this dance.2.just another woman in love.3.danny's song.4.we don't have to hold out.5.he thinks i still care.6.killing me softly with his song.7.snowbird.8.now and forever.9.broken hearted me.10.a little good news.11.daydream believer.12.a love song.13.you needed me.14.a million more.15.i just fall in love again.16.song for the mira.17.walk right back.18.shadows in the moonlight.19.nobody loves me like you do.20.blessed are the believers.21.tennessee waltz.222.time don't run out on me ![]() Daydream Believers $10.84 A made-for-TV movie originally broadcast on VH1, this film bio of the Monkees casts look-alikes as the first made-for-TV rock band (today's equivalent: O-Town). Told in broad strokes that hit the highlights, the film recounts how a TV producer (played by Colin Ferguson) decided to create a TV version of the Beatles by casting cute actors (musicianship was only a secondary requirement) as rock stars for a weekly comedy series. But surprise--producer Don Kirshner (Wallace Langham) was able to manufacture musical hits and the mock band became a rock band with musical ambitions of its own. The actors who play the Monkees look (but don't sound) like their characters, as do actors who were hired to play the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix, among others. Still, with the exception of a little pot-smoking, there's nothing particularly juicy in a tell-all that doesn't tell nearly as much as you'd like. |
