The original 16MM version of the pilot episode of Here Come The Monkees.

33⅓ Revolutions Per Monkee" is the name of a rarely-seen special starring The Monkees that aired on NBC on April 14, 1969

Charles Darwin the famous evolutionist takes The Monkees through various stages of evolution until they are ready to brainwash the world via commercial exploitation. Hatched in giant test tubes, the four are stripped of all personal identity and names: Micky Dolenz becomes Monkee #1, Peter Tork becomes Monkee #2, Mike Nesmith Monkee #3, and Davy Jones Monkee #4. Each Monkee attempts to regain his stripped personal identity by thinking his way out of captivity into his own world of fantasies. Monkee #1 (Micky) performs an R&B up-tempo duet remake of "I'm A Believer" with Julie Driscoll; Monkee #2 (Peter) reclines on a giant cushion in eastern garb and, to the lilting backing of sitar and tabla, performs "I Prithee (Do Not Ask For Love)," a gentle number concerning spiritual values. Monkee #3 (Mike), in an inventive split screen number, sings a country tune, "Naked Persimmon (The Only Thing I Believe Is True)"; and Monkee #4 (Davy) capers about in short pants and frill collar in fairytal

An hour-long special that aired on ABC finds Davy, Micky, Peter, and Mike looking back on the old days (with a medley of their hits) and promoting their 1996 CD "Justus" with 3 music videos from it.

Through brand new interviews and vintage film footage including the TV series, concert tours and their pioneering music videos, all four Monkees provide insightful recollections of Monkeemania - before - during and after. With a special appearance by the late great Frank Zappa, Hey Hey We're The Monkees also includes original screen tests, outtakes, TV commercials, and rare photos of the band who continue to tour the world to this day.
