Well, first off, let’s get one thing perfectly straight. A Monkee’s heart is not easy to win! I mean, SURE, a Monkee’s heart may be a swinging thing to have, but to HAVE it isn’t an easy thing to swing!

But anyway, if you’ve definitely decided to give it a go (and for some reason I’m dead sure that you are, and you must be surely dead if you’re not,) then just answer the Monkee quiz below, mail your completed responses to your fave FIFTEEN!

Nothing! That’s right, luv, this quiz is just for fun! But why not have a go at it anyway?
