The Monkees
A retired rock group best known for songs such as "I'm a Believer," "Last Train to Clarksville," "Daydream Believer (Cheer Up, Sleepy Jean)," and "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You." While they disbanded and reformed several times since their inception in the 1960's, they ultimately remained active for well over fifty years before embarking on a farewell tour that concluded in November 2021.
The Monkees were composed of four musicians. Three were American, and one was British. They are as follows:
-George Michael Dolenz, Jr. (Micky Dolenz; Born March 8, 1945)
-Robert Michael Nesmith (Michael Nesmith; December 30, 1942 - December 10, 2021)
-David Thomas Jones (Davy Jones; December 30, 1945 - February 29, 2012. Yes, he died on leap day.)

skipping the monkeys
"Skipping the monkeys" is a metaphor for skipping past the boring stuff to get to the good stuff. 2001: A Space Odyssey, the film begins with an instrumental overture that lasts about 5 minutes and then there’s 15 minutes of, for lack of a better word, monkeys. I love 2001: A Space Odyssey and would never approve of fast forwarding through any part of the movie unless you’ve seen the movie many times and don’t necessarily want to sit through a slow part to get to the good stuff. -Scott Moschella
Let’s say you’re going to a concert. Who wants to sit through two lackluster opening acts to get to the headliner? I say, “Skip those monkeys!” Restless at work? Skip the monkeys and take an early lunch. Who cares how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop? Skip the monkeys and bite into that sucker. -Scott Moschella
