Can Monkeys Really Type Shakespeare?

  • Start date
In summary, news has been released that scientists have discovered monkeys have successfully reproduced the works of Shakespeare using a quantum entangled tribe of simians. However, there is a discrepancy over the spelling of the term "monkeys" and the remaining members of the band "The Monkees". The most amazing achievement of this research is the ability of the monkeys to type reels and be led by Dr. Frances Baykon.

Spelling somewhere needs to be adjusted. Title shows "Monkees" but posting shows "monkeys". These two things are not the same. (As best I understand, there are only two Monkees remaining. What have they done again, based on the topic title?)

There are still four, but only two of them still smell OK.

1. What exactly did "The Monkees have done"?

"The Monkees have done it" refers to the success and impact of the American television show "The Monkees" and the band of the same name that was formed for the show. The show ran from 1966 to 1968 and the band released several hit songs and albums during that time.

2. How did "The Monkees" come to be?

"The Monkees" was created by Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider, two producers who wanted to capitalize on the popularity of The Beatles and the success of their film "A Hard Day's Night". They held auditions for four actors to portray a fictional band in a television show, and thus "The Monkees" was born.

3. Were "The Monkees" a real band or just actors?

Initially, "The Monkees" were just actors hired to portray a band on television. However, after the show's success, the actors were given the opportunity to play their own instruments and record their own music. They eventually became a real band and went on to release several hit songs and albums.

4. What was the impact of "The Monkees" on popular culture?

"The Monkees" had a significant impact on popular culture during the 1960s. They were one of the first bands to have their own television show, which helped blur the lines between reality and fiction in the music industry. They also paved the way for other fictional bands, such as The Archies and Josie and the Pussycats.

5. Did "The Monkees" have any lasting influence?

Yes, "The Monkees" have had a lasting influence on popular culture and the music industry. Their music continues to be played and enjoyed by fans, and their success as a manufactured band opened doors for other manufactured bands in the future. They also inspired many musicians and bands, such as the punk rock band The Ramones, who cited The Monkees as an influence on their music.
