watching the monkees is an insane experience because one moment micky will be on all fours growling and turning into a werewolf and drinking chemicals and waging war and then it’ll cut to a musical sequence where it’s revealed he has the most beautiful, angelic, buttery soft voice you’ve ever heard. the duality of man.
Okay, but how about The Monkees in a concert band setting. Which instrument would they all play?
Mike gives hardcore trumpet vibes. Like, Show Mike is like the 3rd trumpet that's chill and Leader like, but not at the level of a lead trumpet player. Like a good player but super relaxed. Real Mike, a total Lead Trumpet Player. Hardcore. I can't NOT see it...
Davy gives off saxophone vibes. I don't know much about him outside of the show, but he really gives alto sax vibes. Cool, really goofy, and all the girls love him. Now there's the two sides of this-- he thinks all the girls him, or the girls really do love him. It's totally the latter. He also seems so mischievous too.
Peter would be in the woodwind family. Like I know he played French horn but the hornets that I've known have been very arrogant or overly confident. He doesn't really fit the personality stereotype imo. I think Show Peter would totally be a bass clarinetist, quiet, really goofy, and just super sweet, but Real Peter would totally be a lead clarinetist or a Bassoonist. Like smart and slightly nerdy, but also very serious in a positive way about his music!
Micky just gives me low brass vibes, period. Show Micky is so a bass trombone/tuba. If you know, you know... as a fellow trombonist, he fits almost too perfectly, especially the absolute hyperactivity and impressions. Real Micky is a Euphonium player through and through. Still goofy fun and totally a low brass person, but much more quiet/calm and a little more contained.
i can’t believe we live in a world where micky dolenz has an official cover of one of my favorite REM songs like can we imagine how much this would’ve riveted my life when i was like sixteen and in my full REM thing like micky fucking dolenz!!! sings REM!!!! it’s a collaboration that is created just to make me go absolutely feral.
also to bounce of the thing i just reblogged micky was forced to go by mickey braddock because dolenz sounded too “ethnic”, not to mention they also made him dye his hair blonde for circus boy so he’d look more “american” 😑
After a year of living very dysfunctionally Micky, Bertie gets herself into a dangerous situation, and Micky decided it was best if she left. Bertie calls an ex-fling of hers to help.
