Monkees

The Monkees and their Muppet Spoofs

The Monkees are a pop rock band, who were formed in 1966 for a television series of the same name, which aired from 1966 to 1968. Members of the band were Americans Peter Tork, Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, and Englishman Davy Jones. The band was created to capitalize on the popularity of The Beatles' film A Hard Day's Night, and the television series would follow the adventures of the fictitious band.
