TV Show: The Monkees

Maxing Out The Monkeemobile

During the show’s short two season run, there were three Monkeemobiles used. The original model had a genuine supercharger along with a tan interior and convertible top.

The next two had phony superchargers, white interiors, and convertible tops. All three models had doors with different sized logos on them.

Instrumental Incidents

It was common knowledge that none of the Monkees played any instruments on their first and second albums, supplying only the vocals on the tracks.

But on the song “Papa Gene’s Blues” on their debut album, Peter Tork, in fact, played guitar when Michael Nesmith, the song’s producer, pushed the issue.
