One such artist is Mike Jones, whose song "Who is Mike Jones?" gained widespread attention and sparked curiosity, thanks to his audacious act of sharing his cell phone number with the world. In this article, we delve into the importance of this decision and the lasting impact it had on his career.

A Bold Move

Released in 2005, "Who is Mike Jones?" quickly became a chart-topping hit, propelling the Houston-based rapper into the spotlight. However, it was not just the catchy beats and clever lyrics that made this song unforgettable.

People flooded his phone with calls and messages, wanting to know more about the man behind the music. Jones seized this opportunity to promote his music, events, and merchandise directly to his newfound audience, effectively cutting through the noise of traditional promotional channels.

The Spy Who Came in from the Cool is just Davy being the baby of the group

The first thing he says is literally “please let me get a new set of maracas🥺” even though he’s paying with his own money. Like baby you don’t need permission.

Also him telling Mike about the man with the popsicle. He definitely just points out random things to Mike on their walks and Mike, with the patience of a saint, indulges him. Peter and Micky are laughing at him in that clip so they definitely make fun of him making basic observations so Mike is the one he’ll turn to.

the other three monkees using poor mike and his big hands as a stim toy.

in the episode where micky does his werewolf impression mike just offers up his hand to be chewed in a way that makes me think that this happens often, and micky will sometimes ask to just chew on Mike’s hand as long as he promises to be “be gentle”

I think Davy does this too, but he doesn’t ask, he just sometimes grabs and starts biting because he’s a feral animal when he’s comfortable at home and Mike has to talk to him about that.

Overall I think Davy’s a little rough with Mike because he’s a selfish little thing that they spoil the hell out of, and unlike micky who sometimes just goes buck wild but feels bad about it, Davy just’ll grab Mike’s hands and start doing things like grabbing his fingers and straightening them and making him clap and shit with no shame because he just sometimes needs to take his toddler-energy out on something and Mike just sits there and lets it happen (i promise he lets davy know if it’s too much and Davy will listen) Davy has no shame when they’re at home and he doesn’t have a girl over or something and Mike lets him just do what he needs to do because it lets davy let loose a bit.

Peter plays with Mike’s hands but he’s more gentle than Davy, and he doesn’t bite though sometimes he’ll put Mike’s hand up and press it against his mouth because it feels good. He’s just overall more gentle about it and because Mike feels safe and comfortable.

sometimes Mike has peter and Davy both at once playing with his hands (micky’s a bit embarrassed that he sometimes needs to let out his energy on Mike so he tries to really only fiddle with Mike’s hands when he’s in hyper mode or stressed out) and the duality of energy is funny.

all of this happens when they’re sitting on the couch and Mike just has his personal time taken up with his three monkee kiddos.

#the monkees #mike nesmith #davy jones #peter tork #micky dolenz #tv!verse #this is TV SHOW MONKEES not real monkees!! #this is intense monkee-autism combo that is totally not just me projecting for comfort reasons #and I promise mike stims with the others too I just think about them all treating him like he’s their long-suffering mother a lot #davy takes advantage of this to the max and is a bit of a brat #but I just think about this a lot #i’m sorry if this is weird and nonsensical #and maybe i’m just projecting because I like mikes big chunky hands and would like to use them as stim toys just maybe that’s it #but i just wanted to get this out because it sits in my brain and the monkees are my comfort vehicles #i project all of my lonely wants for connection onto these four boys who are so comfortable with each other

i feel like i can’t put into words how sweet it is when the monkees all cling to Mike when they’re in a scary situation (especially davy, that kid is all bark no bite, second something’s after him he’s running to his mumma aka. Michael the goddamn string bean in a wool hat, who just gives the most exasperated face ever to the camera and waves around like grass in the wind because his skinny body can’t handle the power of a 5’3” british boy grabbing his arms)

but like, mike makes them all feel safe and it’s just so damn sweet. like, the show didn’t have to do that, but they did. they just decided that these kids need a mother and that mother is fucking mike.

i’m sorry, i just have so many feelings about it. You know peter’s like glued to his side, especially after the devil and peter tork. Mike protects them, it’s his nature, and they all feel safe with him. AGH

mike leaving a thing of yogurt unattended for like a minute and coming back to find that davy has put popcorn it.

mike wondering if he’s really cut out to mother davy-the-toddler because he really wanted to eat that yogurt and davys sitting on the floor like “Hi mummy!! :3”

Davy is definitely a sticky hand toddler 😭 Mike gives him a crisp (chip?) and Davy’s just holding onto it for ages because he forgot about it.

Popcorn is probably the nicest thing he’s put in mikes food. Sometimes Mike will be drinking his coffee and find an action figure in it. At some point he decided that’s its good for his immune system and he’ll just have to get used to it. Davy’s just doing it for fun, he sees Micky mixing potions so why can’t he?? One time he put sand in Mikes yogurt and that called for a discussion and reprimanding.

#the piece of popcorn is just sitting there as innocent as possible #it was just a singular piece #it was Davy’s gift to mike #he WAS told to share after all #who can blame him?? #the monkees #davy jones #mike nesmith #davybaby
