The Monkees Mary Mary
When I was a kid I didn't like the Monkees. I used to think they were a rip off of the Beatles and I never found their humour. I knew they were bogus as I recognised Mickey Dolenz from the tv series Circus Boy which I liked. But Sue likes them so we have their music on occasionally and I have come to respect them. Yes it is a rip off but a very well crafted one by some of the best songwriters and session musicians there were.
