Case of the Mondays: Monkees Edition
November 23, 2009

Last week, I made a Monkees station on Pandora that was far superior to the infamously lazy Beatles station. Then on Sunday, Liz and I were in Remix, a sweet vintage store on Capitol Hill, and heard the Monkees again! It was fate. So here’s the song we heard in the store:
We used to listen to the Monkees a lot when we were kids. In high school, Davy Jones performed at Disney World while I was there, but I thought the neon, flowery posters were some sort of retro throwback decoration. My mom couldn’t believe I missed him. Neither can I, really. So a few years ago, Liz and I saw Peter Tork play at a festival in Greenbelt. We also saw and cringed at the Little Miss Greenbelt pageant.
There’s not really a point to that story.

I thought we heard the actual Monkees Theme in Remix.
You would be wrong, then.
I don’t think so. I think you’re wrong.
It was definitely this song.
Okay, does Liz forget (was too little to even have it register) that she saw the Monkees twice (2X!!!!) when she was about three at the Stabler Arena? Alas, it minus Mike Nesmith, but still pretty ok. I have Monkees CD’s if you want to hear them when you visit for Thanksgiving.
