Mike Nesmith Made Some Coolest Songs From The Monkees
Mike Nesmith Made Some The Coolest Songs For The Monkees
One of the first songs that was cool was Papa Genes Blues.
Infact if you have a original Monkees LP album they spelled
it wrong,on album covers,like this:Papa Jeans Blue,when this
mistake was made by Colgems,it goes up in value.It was one
the first composed songs written by Michael Nesmith,that
was before The Monkees.
Then also in The Monkees Never Look A Gift Horse In
The Mouth,where Davy Jones,had to ride a boys horse to
save him. Speaking Of Saving, Davy Jones Horses Need
Money For Food.They spend monthy $3,500 for these rare
horses in Tennessee where they are being looked after.
Mike Nesmith,wrote all the songs in that episode. The song
that Mike Nesmith was singing to was All The Kings Horses.
It had cool pop beat,going through the song.
Remember You May Just Be The One Written and sung
by Michael Nesmith, he which prefers.It is just one cool sung.
One my posts has picture in blue,with navy The Monkees
logo on the drums.Mike Nesmith,is actually singing the song
What Am I Doing Hangin' Round,was as a favor to the very
cool Michael Nesmith,who asked ,Michael Murphy to write
it for their next album.It was also sang at the end the episode
Davy Jones raced The Monkeemobile.
Mike Nesmith's Tropical Tundra,and Sunnny Girlfriend had
a nice Texan flair in the songs. A cool sung he did on the phone
in the series,was real cool Sweet Young Thing.The original song
had even violins for that get down rock feeling.A song that was
#3 was Pleasant Valley Sunday,also not written by Nesmith.
It should have been a number one song.It was Peter Tork's
favorite in the 1960's.
Another song was written Mike Nesmith is Daily Nightly.
Micky Dolenz was the second person to buy a MOOG syn-
thesizer,to plays this wild song.Also Davy Jones Star Collector
and Love Is Only Sleeping not written by Mike Nesmith's was
first song used with this MOOG.
Listen To The Band was made for 33 1/3 but it bombed.
not the music,but the psychodelic idea was too much.It was
up against the Academy Awards,even Annette Funicello,
could not save it.Interestingly,Annette,also in Head .
As The Monkees made the movie Head,Circle Sky which
was actually a major song for the movie.We know the movie
starts with the beautiful Porpose Song,which Micky was lead,
but Davy Jones, was critical ,with his English voice. However,
before the movie was finished, The Monkees had special concert,
with teen girls from all areas to shout as loud :" We Want The
Monkees!" It was crucial they do this. While The Monkees were
getting ready, the main song was Circle Sky, again written and
song by Mike Nesmith. Infact, They had to; sing it again; since
The Monkees, needed to be perfect; for Head. There are many;
songs of Mike Nesmith, but this Summer; Mike Nesmith with the
group The Monkees, are going to sing; Rare Songs Not Heard In

Davy Jones Personally Went Mpc To See The Monkeemobile Model From #2 Car
Davy Jones Personally Went To Mpc To See
The Monkeemobile Model Made From Second Car
In 1967 Your beloved Davy Jones visited the
Mpc factory, to see the finished Monkeemobile
model kit sh own here. Who was there? None other
then the designer, stylist and builder King of the
Stripers Dean Jeffries. He show Davy Jones the
famous Monkeemobile Mpc 1/25 Model kit. It
was made from The Monkeemobile #2 stunt car.
It was the small Davy Jones raced against his
foe played by Carol Shelby in his famous Shelby
Cobra Coupe that are worth $20,000,000, and
going up.
In 1971 George Barris Purchased The Monkee-
mobile #2, along with The Black Beauty #1 for $1,500
a piece. George ruin the design first when he stripped
the tires and mags, made debauched Monkees logo in
this ugly color. He added slotted mags, and Formula 1
tires. Then he had Dick Dean, who help build both sets
of cars, add this yellow orange between the grill shell,
also between the lights. (Please Note: it was forced by
Columbia Pictures to do this. Why? They own The
Monkee name, also the car was copyrighted, which
they did not want the car look like Dean Jeffries
Monkeemobile used in the show.)
George Barris also had #3 Monkeemobile built by
having Dick Dean, use a 1966 Pontiac Catalina in-
stead of GTO. Dean Jeffries, never authorize this car
to be built. (It is this car that was sent to England.)
In 1982 it was told to: "sell your the custom cars"
which Hot Rod Magazine, had armed the public. So
designers were selling off their cars to the public,.
So George Barris did auction #2 Monkeemobile for
$26,000, but the bidder never showed. This why George
Barris had #2 Monkeemobile so long. He did sell many
custom cars to Indiana Trucking company. But a very
weird family bought the original Munster Koach. They
let the car go in unkempt condition. They would not
even let George Barris have his men make a mold from
it. Then 1984, Dick Dean wanted his own Koach, so he
built one that was later restored in 2011 by Antique Ford
Restorers in what is Racho Cordova.
However, In 2006 it was said, the designer was going to
to restore The Monkeemobile. But that was a lie. George
Barris owned The Monkeemobile #2. Which actually took
it back to Rancho Cordova, but they will say Sacramento,
because the County boundaries. I know that area, because
I finished high school there.
George Barris actually ruin Dean Jeffries design. He had
the four pipe headers on the side the blower, changer to three
like the original model kit of The Monkeemobile #2. He had
the interior white like the model kit, instead of tan. He had the
custom touring top changed from tan to white, then he had the
builders, paint the inside of the top black, with chrome bands.
The car, was no longer a red or burgundy color, but now it was
raspberry. The gold The Monkeemobile banner were larger
However, they ruined the rear bench seat. They had computer
video audio system, while it looked cool, they made it so you
could sit in the middle the rear bench seat. They added a white
parachute, and correct size, considering , the car came with bias
tires, they added Bridgestone tires, the correct height on all fours.
They had the right Craigar SS Diamond Five Spokes with the
three prong knock offs. The car was toured that year, where
Micky Dolenz signed under the hood first. Then 2010 Your
Beloved Davy Jones Signed the car. I believe latter in 2012
Peter Tork signed the car.
I have a stand up picture of Davy Jones by The Monkee-
mobile #2. For you model collectors, they did bring out the
model of The Monkeemobile, in almost original box art. They
had removed The Monkees on top, but left you with the car
original box art.
I know Davy Jones lives on in our memories, but if you want
to show your support, please, go The Monkees Reunion Tour.

The Stunt Monkeemobile #2 Gives New Publicity To The Monkees
The Stunt Monkeemobile # 2 Gives New Publicity To The Monkees
With the removal of Don Kirshner after he was found guilty to
making More of The Monkees Album,having backing Neal Diamond
on Little Bit Me,and using a JC Penny's ad as a album cover.When
their contract says they are to be consented in the making of music
and cover of the albums. Don Kirschner went back to New York,to
make that album,instead of being in Los Angelos California.They
found out about this album when they were in Michigan at a record
store.When Michael Nesmith,heard Neal Diamond on back up vocals,
while Davy was the lead singer on a Little Bit Be Me.He so mad.In
fact when the hearing was about this with matter,Michael Nesmith put
his fist through the wall,and said that could have been your face. With
Don Kirschner fired, The Monkees had freedom to sing and play the
music they want.
So The Monkees produced Headquarters all done by them.They
were happy with this victory.The Monkeemobile#2 was the stunt car.
This was used in the second season,with freedom control to write and
play their own music.
It was also the car Davy Jones used to race against the evil Klutz
in his Klutzmobile,played by Carol Shelby racing his Ford Shelby Cobra
Coupe Daytona.Watch Davy Jones drag in The Monkeemobile.
Also the Dean Jeffries Mantaray was used,repainted pearl yellow,
and the bubble top removed and a new manifold with a Holley four barrel
and a custom scoop to match the car.It also had the English flag on it.

Dick Dean Built Most Of The Cars For Barris Kustoms
Dick Dean Built A Famous Wine Barrow Truck,
Hillbillies Hot Rod Truck Ed Next Designed
Turnpike Hauler At Barris Kustoms
http://www.desktoplight
ning.com/sparksx
Hillbillies Hot Rod Truck Ed Next Designed
Turnpike Hauler At Barris Kustoms
Back the early seventies,the designer named
Ed Newt designed this cool truck.There was one
man that could pull off building such wild vehicles,
no I am not talking George Barris, I talking about
Dick Dean, who built the custom truck with injector
tubes from a large wine barrel. The cab is cut out
to carry a custom interior.It was no surprise that
he used the same building concept for the fire
engine red gold base 1926 Oldsmobile for the Hot
Rod truck for Beverly Hillbillies. Please people
George Barris found a 1926 Oldsmobile truck
for the hot rod version. Only the auction off real
1921 Oldsmobile truck, was that year. The 1926
Oldsmobile had no headlights, which the idea
came from a drawing with lightning bolts with
white bench seats. It was this drawing on cheap
butcher paper, that made this custom to be built
for the race against granny with triple XXX
moonshine for fuel.
It was Dick Dean who built these and more at
at Barris Kustoms. George Barris main body man
was Dick Dean,who did the scroll work on both
Munster Koach#1 and build the car.He had help
with Barris crew,and 1984 built Munster Koach#2
The Dragula he built four.Only the first was used
in film.
If you love the Surf Woody,and most of Barris
Kustoms,it is because he built them.He could of
had help,but he was George Barris right hand
man.Without Dick Dean,George Barris big life
of success,wouldn't have happen.After all how
long can a guy go,without a professional body
man that could build everything,Barris wanted
to fulfill those contracts,orders for every major
player? Not long.
Both Monkeemobiles #1,and 2 Jeffries had
Dick Dean help him,and both Black Beauty's
too.He build both unauthorized Dean Jeffries
cars,as The Monkeemobile #3,which was a'66
Pontiac Catalina,instead of a GTO.He built
many versions of the Black Beauty.He also built
The Monkeemobile #4 AMT car,in 1999,so
The Monkeemobile would be back for us to build.
Mecum Auctions had the winnning bid from a man
in Florida.This man in Florida,had the car mags
changed to full size,as in the show,and has no
Monkees logo on the car.It is very possible that
this number #4 car,will be used for the real new
production movie of The Monkees life for new
generations.
That custom dragster in color is a candy blue.
Dick Dean designed this dragster and called it
Dragster For Two.
The Bathtub,was built from pipes you find
in house plumbing.Dean Dick was definitely
needed to make those headers work,if not
more.This was a Monagram model car kit.
Before people were making many Corvette
Nomads, like General Motors experimental
car, Dick Dean built the first one.
Look in the black and white photos and these
were all built by Dick Dean, besides the Barris
Kustom cars.Also yellow convertible was by
Dick Dean. The Mail Truck ,The Monkees
with #1 Monkeemobile and Black Beauty
with Green Hornet and Kato in color and
also black and white. (Dick Dean helped
Dean Jeffries in building both Black-
Beauties and both Monkeemobiles used in
these two series at Barris Kustoms.)
This a copy of the famous Lil B...Car that
Jeffries built with the #1 Batmobile that Dean
Jeffries built,for James Dean.The ZRR,
Munster Koaches#1 and 2, also four Dragula's
Surf Woody pictures shows how Dick Dean
built this famous Barris Kustom. You See
the Ice Cream Truckand Wine Barrel Truck,
I have the Hillbillies Hot Rod Truck Olds and
1921 Olds Truck used for the show. I have so
many files, I have locate them.
I have many extra files I keep of these cars
for you to enjoy.
