The Monkees, a 60s boy band gone rogue, were Michael Nesmith, Davey Jones, Mickey Dolenz, and Peter Tork.

Julie Newmar, most known for her role as Catwoman, was in one episode (see below). The song being parodied here is 'Daydream Believer'.

There was an attempt at bringing them back with a new cast. The New Monkees (see also below) didn't last as long.
