The Monkees may have been a musical group manufactured for TV, but they were all talented musicians. Here they sing the 16th century Spanish Christmas carol "Ríu Chíu" a cappella on their 1967 Christmas episode. That performance was broadcast live, and the song went over so well that they had to record it later to include in their compilation albums. (via Metafilter)

And here we are, over 50 years later, and I still sing 'Rio' to myself sometimes
Part of growing up for me. Watching their tv show and listening to their 45's. In spite of the commercialization, they were fine musicians.
