So, for a bit of fun, I checked out how the Monkees themselves fared in their song Saturday's child. I'm not sure if anyone else has done this but I wanted to have a go because I wondered what it might say about them.
Micky Dolanz- March 8, 1945 which was a Thursday.
Apparently, he's going to break your heart, which is disappointing but maybe fitting as he is on wife number three. Does anyone else think this might be a bit inaccurate? I hope so
Peter Tork- February 13, 1942 which was a Friday
So he likes the good life and he'll take you for a ride. Well, from what we've gathered about his pretty adventurous sex life, it sounds as though he likes a 'good' life. And the ride bit, we could make plenty of innuendos about that but I'll leave that to you. I'm sure it really means more like the one night stand sort of thing so, probably correct... but all of the Monkees had their fair share I'm sure.
Davy Jones- 30 December 1945 which was a Sunday
He wants to be your bride... hmmm.
Inaccurate gender and I haven't read into this so much so I'm going to say it sounds inaccurate. Also, given the three wives as well and the lady's man character he was given in the Monkees TV show, being a bride- or getting married- doesn't seem like his motivation.
Mike Nesmith- December 30, 1942 which was a Wednesday
So, you live your life apart now.
Now, I'd say, as sad as it is, everything that happened with the two women pregnant at the same time, you'd expect someone to leave him after that. Phyllis, I've no idea how you ever stayed with him after that. Admirable in many ways.
But on a happier note, I'd say that this was actually quite fun. I'll have to think so of other things like this in the future. If anyone is reading this, tell me what you think about these.
(remember, this is just a song and also, my interpretation. I haven't done so much research into it so...)
