They did the vocals, but someone else played the instruments, until Headquarters.

Actually, the opposite is closer the truth, they started out as the main cast of a show meant to capitalize on the popularity of The Beatles. And, iirc, they didnt even know how to play their instruments at first, but they learned, and even became pretty good songwriters to boot.

No, they were more like Spinal Tap. They were a real band, but were created solely for a TV sitcom. But the sound was still mostly all them.

Thats what I got mixed up then. I watched a documentary on them years ago and it was the instruments they couldnt play.

I like some of their songs even if theyre pretty cringe.

They did, just not the instruments they "played" in the show.

Words is what the band would have actually looked like.

A lot of people don't realize this, but Take The Last Train to Clarksville, is actually an Anti-War song, particularly pointed at The Vietnam Draft.

We only had four channels when I was around twelve or thirteen.

The old Batman show, Gilligans Island and the Monkees were heavily featured.
