The Monkees fue una banda de rock creada artificialmente para un programa de televisión y que tuvo bastante éxito en la década de los 60. Como curiosidad, sólo uno de sus integrantes era músico; el resto aprendió a tocar durante la producción del programa.
Sus integrantes, tres de ellos originarios de Los Angeles, USA, y uno de Manchester, Inglaterra, eran Davy Jones (voz y percusión), Michael Nesmith (voz y guitarra) Peter Tork (teclado, bajo y voz) y Micky Dolenz (voz y batería).
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

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 tryin' to be friendly,
Come and watch us sing and play,
We're the young generation,
And we've got something to say.
