Frank Zappa and Mike Nesmith on The Monkees in 1967

Groovy History

While The Monkees was a band in the 60’s, they also had a television show with the very same name. On one of the episodes, Frank Zappa and Mike Nesmith switch roles on each other, with the plot of the show explaining “Peter walks into The Great Oracullo’s House of Mysteries for inspiration and is turned into a psychic slave by way of a cup of tea. Oraculo wants to headline at The Cassandra instead of the Monkees and use Peter in his act, simultaneously ruining the Monkees chances of getting the gig.” While it all sounds a little wacky, the show had quite a following and remained on the air for a good two years.
