Is it normal to think the beatles copied the monkees?

I grew up in the 80s and remember watching the Monkees on tv. I really didn't hear of the Beatles until later in my teens and automatically assumed that the Monkees came first and were kind of a Beatles parody. It took a while to convince me of this? Anybody else?

Is It Normal?

    Oopsy daisy.
    The Beatles were an English rock band that formed in Liverpool in 1960.
    The Monkees are an American pop/rock band that released music in their original incarnation between 1966 and 1970.
    Let us not put the cart before the horse.

    No, I can't relate. Sorry about that. I always knew that the Beatles came before the Monkeys.

    Like it has already been said. The Beatles were first. They didn't copy the Monkeys. However, The Monkeys sold more records than the Beatles and Elvis combined. I happen to like the Monkeys and watched the show every week when it was on.

    The Beatles were a band, playing gigs, writing songs, and doing what bands do, before they became famous.
    The Monkees were a fabrication for a TV show, with a team of established hit-writers and session musicians making the music.
    I've always loved the Monkees but don't forget what they were.

      I thought this growing up in the 90s. I just wanted to see if anybody else did too.
