Monkees fun facts!!!

The Monkees was originally to star either The Lovin' Spoonful or The Dave Clark Five but seeing as both bands had prior engagements, a casting call was done to form a new band.

The chords of "Listen to the band" is actually "Nine times blue" backwards.

In 1967 The Monkees sold more albums than The Beatles and The Rolling Stones combined.

Besides The Doors, The Monkees were one of the first bands to experiment with the Moog synthesizer in their music.

The address of The Monkees beach house was originally 1334 North Beechwood Ave. but in episode #17 "The case of the missing Monkee" it was changed to 1438 North Beechwood Ave. due to a continuation error on the part of the show's writers.

The Frodis caper was directed by Micky Dolenz and was about marijuana!! If you notice, Frodis the alien is a green plant that emits smoke which elicits feelings of peace and well being when inhaled!!
