Micky Dolenz turned 80 today.

[BlueKota]

I remember watching the Monkees when I was seven. I still remain a fan.

1. Why did Dolenz title the song "Randy Scouse Git"?

The phrase was taken from the 1960s British sitcom Till Death Us Do Part, in which it was regularly used by the loud-mouthed main character Alf Garnett, played by Cockney actor Warren Mitchell, to insult his Liverpudlian ("Scouse&quot son-in-law, played by Tony Booth.

2. One of my first albums was the Monkees and I watched the show every week

I was a Davy Jones fan and my cousin loved a Mickey Dolenz. Ironic he is the last one alive!

Happy 80th Mickey!

5. Davy was my first celebrity crush.

Micky was my second favorite. It is sad the other 3 are gone.

7. You'll laugh at this one

I told my older sister that the Monroe’s were better than the Beatles! I remember her laughing so loud she almost fell over. She used to tell her friends for awhile my comment and they laughed also! At the time I was insulted but as I got older I got it! but hey I was only about 9 years old!

8. I went to the h.s. school concert last week

One of the kids in the choir looked just like Mickey Dolenz. Amazing!

I watched The Monkees when I was a teen. My friends and I had an unofficial fan club. Always liked them

Happy birthday to one of my all time favorites!

it was an early tv show, and he played a kid who traveled with a circus. I don't remember much about the show, early 50s

13. The show was called Circus Boy. Loved it when I was little.
