Hey Hey It's The Beatles

From the YouTube comments section regarding how The Monkees correspond to The Beatles:

I would probably figure it like this

Mike Nesmith - George Harrison
Micky Dolenz - John Lennon
Peter Tork - Ringo Starr
Davy Jones - Paul McCartney

Mike is the guitarist, Micky is the crazy one, Peter is the one everybody dumbs down and pokes fun at, and Davy is the 'cute' and girlish one.

That's how I figured it.

Mike Nesmith-John Lennon
Mickey Dolenz-Paul McCartney
Peter Tork-George Harrison
Davy Jones-Ringo Starr

The first makes sense, the second one is ridiculous. No matter how you slice it, Davy Jones is their Paul, the cute one. It's the other three who are tricky because they each combine qualites of two Beatles.

Mike is a mix of Lennon (the leader) and Harrison (the quiet one). Mickey is a mix of Lennon and Ringo (the clown). And Peter is a mix of Harrison and Ringo.
