My brother: What?
Me: The New Monkees album.
My brother: The Christmas album?
Me: No, the New Monkees album. Like… quote “The New Monkees” endquote. The album by The New Monkees. The band is called The New Monkees.

The Monkees vs. New Monkees
This video is genius. I don’t totally agree with the sentiment, although I do understand it, but oh man, somebody made this in nineteen eighty-seven. They didn’t have a script search back then, they didn’t have anything. This person is insane, and I want them to be my friend.
Gotta say the New Monkees album is pretty good, and now I regret not buying the record that one time I saw it even more.
The Millionaire – “The Iris Millar Story” (DeForest Kelley, 1955)
The Cowsills – “Hair”
I had an agent, and I had my own private, solo audition, actually.
