Bet ya didn’t know that Neil Diamond wrote several songs that the Monkees made popular. They are I’m a Believer; Lookout, Here Comes Tomorrow; A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You; and Love to Love. A couple of them are not as popular as I’m a Believer and A Little Bit Me, but I really enjoyed all the songs they sang. I adored this show even though it was a bit silly. I’m a Peter Tork kind of girl. Who’s your favorite Monkee?

I climbed on the bandwagon. I was a Davy fan. And yes, he was cute, but not hot. 🙂 Now Neil Diamond…I could listen to him for hours. And the young Neil. HOT HOT HOT, in my opinion.

Yep. Neil was very handsome himself and a wonderful musician! My sister was a Day man, too. I liked them all but had a special place in my heart for Peter.

If I had to pick someone other than Davey, it would be Mick. There’s just something perenially corny about the man that I like. 🙂

LOL! Yep, he is that. I guess you know Mike’s mom invented white-out, right?

I’m a Davey person when it comes to the Monkeys. My sister loved Mickey. But more than that, I’m a HUGE Neil Diamond fan and didn’t know he wrote these songs. So thanks for the info.
