“(Theme from) The Monkees”, 1966 written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart as the signature tune for the TV series The Monkees. Two versions were recorded – one for their first album The Monkees and a second shorter rendition designed to open the television show. Both feature vocals by Micky Dolenz. The show was pitched as “An American version of The Beatles” and loosely based on the Beatles movie A Hard Day’s Night. ......#themonkees #themonkeestvshow ##60s #60music #thevinylloungemtl #vl #vinylmon
