The Monkees Theme Song

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 comin to your town.

The Monkees

Based loosely on The Beatles' films A Hard Day's Night and Help!, The Monkees featured the antics of a fictional pop-rock group. When they came walkin' down the street in 1966, Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork, and Mike Nesmith were virtual unknowns. A six-week crash course in improvisational acting with director James Frawley paid off. The four actors gelled as a team and morphed into a real pop group. After an auspicious start -- The Monkees original pilot set a new ratings low for a pilot -- the show went on to dominate its time slot for the entire 58-episode run from 1966 to 1968. In 1967, James Frawley landed an Emmy award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Comedy and the The Monkees won an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series.

The Monkees were a pop-rock quartet created in Los Angeles in 1965 for the American television series The Monkees, which aired from 1965 to 1968. The primary members were Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork, who were the public face of a music production system under the supervision of Don Kirshner. At the start, the band members provided vocals, and were given some performing and production opportunities, but they eventually fought for and earned the right to collectively supervise all musical output under the bands name. The group undertook several concert tours, allowing an opportunity to perform as a live band as well as on the TV series. When the show was cancelled in 1968, the band continued releasing records until 1971. In the 1980s, the television show and music experienced a revival, which led to a series of reunion tours, and new records featuring various incarnations of the band's lineup.
