The Monkees Rock Band is a pretty good idea.

I would buy it if they added a tamborine controller so I could play
Davey.

respond to the remastering and rerelease of that long-haired
heathen "rock" junk?

I'll buy Rock Band when they add a Theremin controller.

Doesn't the fact that there are *exactly* 50 states seem a little suspicious?

I've got one[1], and I'm having trouble visualizing how you could map
it onto controller buttons. Then again, it took me a long time to
figure out that one of the reasons I sucked at Guitar Hero was that it
hadn't really dawned on me that when you went up to a higher "fret" it
was important to take your finger off the lower one or the game would
count you as playing a chord. Totally counterintuitive if you
actually have experience with the instrument.
[1] No, I can't play at all well.

Well, first, you aren't allowed to actually *touch*
the controller.
Actually, isn't there some console now that can
track your body movements?

Right, but you'd have to not touch it in several specific ways with
your right hand. And the equivalent of hitting the "strum" bar on the
Guitar Hero controller would be moving *away* from the controller with
your left.
Actually playing a theremin is pretty bizarre and not what you expect
going in. I figured that you'd wind up moving your right arm to
change pitch, but that's more like changing "position" on a string
instrument. Rather, you roll your wrist and change the configuration
of your fingers, and by doing this you can get a range of about an
octave (more when you go higher, less when you go lower).
