Music stylesI'M A Believer - The Monkees
I thought love was
Only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else
But not for me
Love was out to get to me
That's the way it seems
Disappointment haunted
All my dreams
And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried
I thought love was
More or less a given thing
But the more I gave the less
I got, oh yeah
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain
And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried

中文名：门基乐队 香港译作：猴子乐队
门基乐队是一只美国 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com / " \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网" \t "_blank )本土乐队，由四人组成，于二十世纪60年代兴起，最初，乐队成员是应一则电视广

告走到一起的。电视制作人想寻找四位很活跃又很会演奏的乐手。他们在报上登了广告，想招摇滚乐手，但是只招到一位符合条件的——也就是后来的乐队主唱弗雷迪 ( http: / / baike. / view / 3705423.htm" \t "_blank )。乐队的其他人只能用演员，演员不会唱，因此起初演节目时由别的歌手唱歌，而乐队其他成员假唱。门基乐队开始每个星期都要演唱由别的音乐家 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com / " \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网" \t "_blank )作的一两首歌曲。然而，经过大约一年，门基乐队逐渐对他们的工作严肃起来，他们像一支真正的乐队开始用自己的乐器演奏，并且自己作词作曲了。后来他们还出了自己的唱片，并开始旅行演出自己的乐曲。门基乐队虽然有模仿“甲壳虫乐队”的意思，但他们甚至比“甲壳虫”乐队还要受欢迎，出售的录音专辑还要多。他们在英国 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com / " \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网" \t "_blank )的旅行演出同样获得了巨大成功，英国的年轻人也开始对The monkees变得疯狂然而，门基乐队在1970年左右解散了，到80年代中期才又重组起来。1996年他们出了一张新的专辑，庆祝他们一起合作的愉快时光。
1967年，在一档儿童表演节目中演出的4个没有名气的年轻人，成为了全球最受欢迎的流行乐乐队。在美国，他们的唱片销量超过了猫王 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com / " \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网" \t "_blank )和甲壳虫乐队。他们就是——顽童合唱团！但是顽童合唱团不是一个真正的乐队，他们是一台被个性和雄心驱动的人造赚钱机器，最终陨落、消失了。这部纪录片讲述的是流行音乐乐坛第一个产业化乐队的内幕故事。这个四人组合是第一个产业化的流行乐队，凭借辐射很广的电视节目和朗朗上口的流行歌曲，他们至今还吸引了一批崇拜者。
甚至日前的门基乐队（THE MONKEES）还被收录到了高中英语课本里面当作课文了。2010年，香港电影《岁月神偷 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com / " \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网" \t "_blank )》使用门基乐队的“I wanna be free”作为电影插曲，很好地烘托了电影的气氛。(共23张PPT)
