@carlacostantino And pretty sure that although he didn't play when the group was put together Peter Tork did teach him to play and on tour and later in thier career Micky played drums (and now guitar) which would make him....a mucisian.
Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork were the only musicians in the group. I don't know if Mickey leaned to play so they could go on tour or what. I think Davey only sang on the show.

When they are talking about the soul of their music being on the 1 and the 5 they are apparently taking a swipe at a clip Davey did with some guy (Charlie I think his name was) and they are "writing" a new song. And Davey is asking Charlie about where the beat is on Black soul music and where it is on White soul music. It's obvious he has NO idea what he's talking about..."I know a girl, her name is love"..blech!!
Frank had a sense of humour, people forget this sometimes. There was lots of novelty in his music and the connection between him and Nesmith seems almost likely. Frank produced the Monkey's film Head which few people eventually didn't see. Ringo is another one who hammed it up for Frank in 200 Motels.
On vinyl, the last line of The Other People was played backwards. We messed with it on a little 8 track & came up with: "Take another look before you say you don't care, shut your fkn mouth about the length of my hair, how would you survive, if you were alive, shtty little person".

Frank Zappa and The Mothers were such a Satirical Group in the mid to late sixties...hung out with and worked with a variety of famous and would become famous musicians of the time...Jimi Hendrix , Eric Clapton , John Lennon , Jeff Beck , Keith Moon , Ringo Starr , Alice Cooper , Flo and Eddie , Aynsley Dunbar , Etc .
And Yes , The Monkees...He also had an early record released Delphi Records and Bob Keane , former manager of Ritchie Valens
This was a brilliant pop culture moment!! I bet it went WAY over the heads of most of the people who were watching it, except for the few "freaks" who got it :-)
Yes, Nes was, and still is a really good musician in his own right - certainly never got the respect he deserved during his days with the Monkees (and I'm a big fan of the Monkees)
This is great! Two Rock and Roll legends playing off each other. Michael Nesmith and Frank Zappa were good friends and they have influenced other musicians in the music industry. Get the Monkees and Michael Nesmith in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame
Hey, back when I used to get a HoF vote, I voted for the Monkees! For all the good it did... - 1b2s
BTW: Frank & Mike might have been buddies, but Manson Family member White Rabitt (sic) told me once that he and Frank used to drive by Micky Dolenz' house shouting obscenities -- I don't know how many grains of salt (or other powdery substances) that story should be taken with...
Surely any self respecting Zappa fan would know that the music at the end of the clip is 'Mother People' from the 'We're Only In It For The Money' album.
Frank doing comedy reminds me very much of Groucho Marx, but then I always used to regard them as being from the same mould. Both blessed with genius. And The Monkees were pretty good too.
Regardless of the fact that The Monkees were a bit of a theatrical construct they were still excellent,many light years better than a lot of today's really real bands.Also 'Head',the Monkees movie,is a classic.
As an infant in the 60s I loved The Monkees TV show- Got all excited- But surely they never showed this on The Monkees show- It wouldn've gone way way way over our heads- and possibly even have led to bedwetting
@TearyEyesAnderson -Maybe Monkees fans would notice something like that- But it's very possible Zappa fans would not have been enthusiastic followers of M Jackson-
What I found really funny about this was that they bleeped out the word "God" when Zappa says "God love ya, Frank Zappa." Also when he says, "God we have wonderful music!"
If you were alive in 1967 and say this on your TV, it would have been a shock. The Monkees had the image of being milqutoast and Zappa was the shock musician of the era. They were actually good friends, and Michael Nesmith proved his talents in the years to come. Zappas prodigy in modern music is largely unrivaled in the he encompassed blues, rock, jazz, classical and anything inbetween. Last cut is We Are the Other People from W'ere only in it for the money album
Frank: The soul of your music is on the 1 and the 7, sometimes on the 3 and the 5. The soul of our music, The Monkees' music, lies somewhere in between the 1 1/2, the 2 1/2, the 3 3/4 and the giant C-major chord on the piano! Which I'll demonstrate for you! We have wonderful music. Match-cut. Here we go, we turn over and we all take our positions in front of the camera, because this is The Monkees, and we're really tricky.
I remember seeing this in reruns in the '70's when I was in elementary school and thinking, "Who's Frank Zappa"? When I reached high school and was listening to Zappa at a house party, I had the strangest revelation - I should've been asking, "Who's Mike Nesmith?"
Of course they had more hits, but it's comparing apples and oranges. Don't get me wrong, I like The Monkees; but at the end of the day, they were still a manufactured pop band. Kinda like The Spice Girls, New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys, etc.
@progpunk76 so did Nesmith - both him & Peter Tork were musicians, it was "Mickey" & "Davey" that were boy-toy actors there to get girls interested....
Frank Zappa really got Nesmiths balls on this one.. If you pay close attention to Nesmith, you can see his heart tearing apart. Frank Zappa was a real eloquent basher.
These are two friends that both happended to get bashed in the press for their music and image and they had fun with it. They both make fun of each other and it's great.
Yeah, that conversation was funny. (However, the word is banal. Since the BANGLES really were banal, you did very well!)
I wonder if that was completely scripted or if Mike Nesmith got tired of being abused by Zappa and got some payback saying Zappa was dirty, gross, and ugly.
haha. when i tried to decipher what he said all i got was bangle. i even google define:'d it and because it said cheap jewelry (duh), i figured 'maaaybe?'
and yeah, i think nesmith fancied himself the intellectual monkee, right? once he caught on, he probably didn't dig being the butt of the joke.
I always notice that Zappa goofs up. He corrects Mike but Mike had not made a mistake! That almst ruins the clip, but overall this is one of the most memorable moments on The Monkees which was a great show.
That's odd: Today I was actually fantasizing about smashing a car with a sledgehammer. And then I fantasized that if I was a millionaire, I would buy a car and then walk by with a sledgehammer and destroy it. Then people would call the police as they saw me destroying "someone else's car" and when the police did the research and found out it was my own car I was destroying, they would all end up looking like fools
So Mike you are a person whose expecttaons exceeded you realities. You wanted to be a musician got handed the brass ring and felt it was not your gig and were pissed. Like you , Jim Morison,Hendrix, etc I CAN'T undesatnd how they can find success and hate it Poor me
