Did "The Monkees" play their own music or did other bands write and play it?

Mike Nesmith and Peter Tork were both musicians before joining the group, but originally The Monkees were only allowed to do the vocals on their songs. However, they were not content with this and eventually got to play and write the their own songs, though they did continue to use session musicians on all their albums.\n\nYou can read more about it on the Wikipedia article for the Monkees. Scroll down to the "From TV to stage" section.

In many ways, it still goes back to the Beatles. \n\nThe idea of the singer, song writer and producer all as one person or as the group wasn't as fully developed untl they came along. You had talented people, but the person who sang the song, the person who wrote the tune and the person who shaped how it sounded on the record were often three very different people. Now, you can go back and say other artists had influence and control; but the post 1960's musicians owe so much to what they did and how they did it.\n\nNow, artists demand control of almost everything from writing to marketing. But every rock musician still wants to top Sgt. Peppers Lonley Hearts Club Band as a concept, as production and as a piece of wrtiting and music.

Jerry Vale is the likely answer, although several singers have done that song.  Sinatra did it.  Johnny Cash did it.  Elvis did it, Oakridge Boys did it.  Nina Simone did it, Judy Garland did it.  Jerry Reed even did it.

There are actually a surprising number of parodies! To me, the key one is "Rock Me Jerry Lewis" by Mike Elliot and Bud LaTour (aka Tri-Fi). This version showed up on the old Dr. Demento radio show several times during the late 80s.\n\nWikipedia has a really good article on the song, "Rock Me Amadeus," originally by Falco.

Other than the National Anthem, bands play different things at different venues.  College bands play the college fight song and the alma mater.  Some pro teams have their own fight songs that are played.  The Washington Redskins play "Hail to the Redskins," the Detroit Lions have always played "Mr. Touchdown."  I'm sure there are other teams with their own unique songs that are played too.

The Monkees' audience booed the Jimi Hendrix Experience (they were still together at that point) off of the stage.  Jimi Hendrix quit the tour after only a few shows because he was insulted by the lack of enthusiasm for his type of music from the Monkees fans.
