You may remember that The Monkees were a band put together for a 1960s TV show. I guess its creators were capitalizing on the popularity of The Beatles and other such mid 60s bands. They found 4 actors

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riG85oA6Wy4 Riu Chiu (aka Ríu Ríu Chíu) is an old Spanish villancico that has become known as a Christmas carol in modern times. The Monkees performed a live a cappella version of the song on an episode of their TV show, that aired on December 25th, 1967 ("The Monkees' Christmas Show). It features Micky Dolenz on lead vocal with Mike Nesmith, Peter Tork and Davy Jones providing backing vocals and harmonies. A studio version was later released but for some unknown reason, producer Chip Douglas sang Davy Jones' part. Now, for the first time, the TV version has been officially released as a bonus song on a [Target exclusive of The Monkees' new Christmas album, *Christmas Party.*](https://intl.target.com/p/the-monkees-christmas-party-target-exclusive/-/A-54102409) <center></center> **Lyrics** Ríu, ríu, chíu, la guarda ribera, Dios guardó el lobo de nuestra cordera.[8] El lobo rabioso la quiso morder Mas Dios Poderoso la supo defender Quísola hacer que no pudiese pecar Ni aun original esta virgen no tuviera. Éste que es nacido es el Gran Monarca Cristo Patriarca de carne vestido Hamos redimido con se hacer chiquito Aunque era infinito finito se hiciera. Yo vi mil Garzones que andavan cantando Por aqui volando haciendo mil sones Diciendo a gascones Gloria sea en el Cielo Y paz en el suelo pues Jesús nasciera. **Do you like "Riu Chiu" by The Monkees?**

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9H6Xd1CSaA&t=143s The Monkees have released their first Christmas album called *Christmas Party*. Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork, Mike Nesmith and even the late Davy Jones all take turns on lead vocals on some Christmas standards and also some newly-written songs, by some notable songwriters. The first single off the album is one that could be considered naughty and nice. It's called "Unwrap You At Christmas" and it was written by Andy Partridge, formerly of the band XTC. That band was known for hits like "The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead, "Dear God," "The Mayor of Simpleton," and "Making Plans for Nigel" among others. A lyric video was created for "Unwrap You at Christmas" featuring art by comic book illustrator Mike Allred that is inspired by scenes from two different episodes of *The Monkees* TV show. The woman depicted in the video is Julie Newmar, who appeared in episode 29, "Monkees Get Out More Dirt." Newmar also played Catwoman in the 1966 Batman TV series. The other images are from episode 47 "The Monkees' Christmas Show." "[Unwrap you at Christmas](https://open.spotify.com/album/0H7h1yeCFZ9gZmrGoNbvHP)" is available on Spotify along with the rest of *[Christmas Party](https://open.spotify.com/album/3WzJHiv489Wb9So4K7csLy)*.

The Monkees recently released their first Christmas album and after a few listens, "**House of Broken Gingerbread**" quickly became my favourite song from it. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rkOl6Kf9_g0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> It was co-written by Adam Schlesinger and Michael Chabon. Schlesinger is formerly from the band Fountains of Wayne, in which he co-wrote the song "Stacy's Mom". He also wrote the Oscar-nominated song "That Thing You Do" for the Tom Hanks movie of the same name. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o40za1wAlI&pbjreload=10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dsi-eF6-uOY Chabon is a novelist and short story writer whose work includes *Wonder Boys*, a 1995 novel that was later adapted into a movie starring Michael Douglas, Tobey Maguire, Frances McDormand, Katie Holmes and Robert Downey Jr. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX8rgv4Hr9A "House of Broken Gingerbread" is not a typical Christmas song. It has a somber message that probably will exclude it from from radio stations' rotation of endless, cheery, yuletide tunes. According to Wikipedia, Chabon's parents divorced when he was 11 and he split his time living with each. It's evident that he drew upon this as inspiration for the gloomy song.
