easiest, and the best song!

Well since Davy's dead, someone else has to sing it! I saw Davy sing it IN PERSON!!!

I don't know why your response was as humorous to me as it was, {perhaps it's because Rick just couldn't resist adding "So there!"} I just imagine Rick applying his same Einstein Logic if he had heard either Mike or Micky sing lead on "For Pete's Sake." "So there!" Sometimes folks just don't think before they type and they wind up putting their foot in their mouths. I have been guilty of this myself, as I know a number of folks out there have as well. Thap happens sometimes, but it doesn't make it any less humorous!
Like you, cperrynaples, I have also heard "Daydream Believer" sung live, by the gentleman who made it famous: DAVID THOMAS JONES. "So there!" {If Rick wants to hear David sing DB "live" again, he should think about conducting a seance.}

It should read "that happens," not "thap." OOOPS!

I've also seen Davy Jones live in concert, he sings the Monkee's songs that he sang, the ones Micky sang, he also did a medley from 'Oliver' and The theme from 'The Brady Bunch'.

Fun Fact: Davy played the Artful Dodger on Broadway and he even sang on Ed Sullivan the same night the Beatles first appeared!

Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone and the R&RHOF holds a grudge against them that dates back to about 1965. Yes it has to do with the fact that studio musicians played on the first two albums and that's more on Don Kirschner than the band itself and the boys had Kirschner fired over it.
It seems when recording for the first album, Nesmith and Tork had been working on their guitar parts, went into the studio and were told all you have to do is sing. The Wrecking Crew and Candy Store Prophets had already laid down the tracks. Needless to say, both were pretty upset by it.
Knowing they were going to have to go out on the road, they taught Mickey basic drums 101. Davy also had to fill in on drums on a few occasions. They eventually made a band of it. (Both in studio and on tour, Kirschner's replacement, Chip Douglass of the Turtles would fill in on bass.)

After all the info that has come out on the successful use of the wrecking crew by many it's amazing that not playing the instruments is still held against the Minkees.

Ah....Monkees. I sounded like Peter Sellers there.

I assume you mean Clouseau! Steve Martin so wrong for that character!

That version of IWTBF I believe was in the pilot. Shot in black and white.

You are correct!!

What photo are you talking about? I stupidly scrolled through the photos of this quiz and realized they are the same one! {I had another of many Homer Simpson moments! DOH!} Where did you see the photo you are talking about? Thanks!

The photo is the same, and I believe that's the final chorus with all of them! Cheer up, sleepy Steph...LOL!!

They can't do that here, only way to cheat is to look up the videos on You Tube!

Wrong! They both did. I think you're thinking of the version that was shown on one of the episodes, where it was Micky who sang lead. On the album it was Davy. Whenever they performed I Wanna Be Free on tour, {not just the 60's, but beyond as well;} it was Davy who sang lead.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICKY!!

The credit on the album lists Peter Tork as lead vocals.

That's correct. Lets give credit to Peter for a few songs he wrote/ sang. He was the Monkees Ringo, he didn't sing lead/compose very many songs, but he did contribute.

Actually, I consider Peter the George, Mike the John, Davy the Paul, and Micky the Ringo!

Shooting a video then adding the sound track is very common

Yea, and we knew they were faking it until they were making it...LOL!
