but I won't be able to keep my promise of getting Davy Jones for you Senior Prom.

And by 'Senior', I mean senior citizen. And by 'Prom', I mean competency hearing before your kids throw you in the nursing home.

Back in college, I worked with a guy named Tony, and his favorite thing to say when he first saw me every day was "Hey, it's Davey Jones and the rest of the Monkees." Annoying at first, but it grew on me.
So I have some sentimental attachment to Davey Jones beyond his music.
Koenig played Ensign Pavel Chekov, navigator on the USS Enterprise, in the original Star Trek television series (starting in Season 2) and in several movies featuring the original cast. One of only two actors to audition, he was cast as Chekov almost immediately primarily because of his resemblance to British actor/musician Davy Jones of the Monkees, to attract a younger audience.[5] As the 30-year old's hair was already receding, costume designers fashioned a Davy Jones-style "moptop" hairpiece for him. In later episodes, his own hair grew out enough to accomplish the look with a comb-over.[6] (The studio's publicity department, however, falsely ascribed the inclusion of Chekov to an article in Pravda that complained about the lack of Russians in Star Trek.[5])
Gene Roddenberry asked him to "ham up" his Russian accent to add a note of comic relief to the series. Chekov's accent has been criticized as inauthentic, in particular Koenig's substituting the 'w' sound in place of a 'v' sound (e.g, "wodka" for "vodka"). Koenig has said the accent was inspired by his father, who had the same difficulty with the 'v' sound.[4]
