Hey, hey. It's a Monkee

[buffcoat]

A friend of mine took this in London.  My response is, "Yes, it must."

[Steve of Bloomington]

Now that is one case where the quotes are being used correctly.

Mickey Dolenz: so, how did you like my movie?

Moviegoer: it was 'magnificent'.

I don't have the strength to wiki that, rather I'm going to rely on dim memory: Hairspray?

I wikied it.  You're dead on.

Better Wilbur: Christopher Walken or Mickey Dolenz?  You decide.

[JustNicole]

My vote is with Walken. I can't imagine Dolenz being understanding the nuances of that character. Unless, of course, they let him sing "Randy Scouse Git" at some point in the show. Then, he is the clear choice.

I hate theater.

[DS1077]

I kind of love when stunt-casting gets applied to marginal roles.  Pulling out the star power for someone with approximately half of one song in the show, seems like a solid investment.

Looks like 2011 is going to be Mickey's year ... all of those positive vibes he's been putting out lately have come to fruition ...

'Hey hey, it's 3 guys who did a crappy job planning for retirement'

They should have waited for the Monkees' 50th anniversary. Why rush things?

[buffcoat]

I'm impressed by his orangeness.

One of the articles linked at the bottom of that page reminds us that, at one time, Stephen Stills was under consideration to be a Monkee.  If he'd had fuller hair and better teeth, he might have gotten Peter Tork's role.

How would that have worked?  Stephen Stills and Micky Dolenz in the same band.

I think, in this scenario, the Monkees would have ended up as Nesmith, Stills, Charles Manson on drums and Paul Williams in for Davy, thus becoming the most terrifying band to ever exist. You probably end up with Polanski guest directing some episodes of the show with this line-up.

Phil Spector as producer?

I like it. They might have been just the band to pull a gun on him first.

New game: Write a synopsis for an episode of the Monkees TV show featuring this version of the group. Alternately, which episodes of The Monkees would have been improved by the Nesmith/Manson/Stills/Williams version of the band?

Examples of the latter:

Episode 9, The Chaperone, would have become "Paul Williams cannot date  a retired general's daughter unless a chaperone is present, so Manson suits up like a lady."

Episode 52 becomes The Devil and Stephen Stills: "At an eerie pawn shop, Stills unwittingly sells his soul to a devilish character (David Crosby) in order to purchase a magic poncho."

Episode 58, The Frodis Caper (aka Dencarbrimur), in which "The Monkees match wits with the insane Wizard Glick (Rip Taylor), who is out to control the minds of television viewers worldwide" is now directed by Charles Manson.

Note: Head would have been exactly the same.
