I've had "I'm a believer" stuck in my head all day. Thought I'd share it.

[t. swartz]

verse, chorus or bridge?

[maunahaole]

[penned by Neil Diamond]

[t. swartz]

the 3 chord vox keyboard riff after "then i saw her face" is particularly memorable atmo...

[neverraced]

It's a great song. So is Clarkesville. They were totally fake but they had great pop masterminds behind them for a while. No shame in singing that stuff.

Mickey Dolenz=Circus Boy, but only Sachs would know that in this group. (I think he auditioned for it and lost.)

Jimi Hendrix OPENED for them. Instant credibility. Scared the crap out of their audience, but still - Jimi Hendrix OPENED for them!

Showing my age...I know all the words.

[A.L.Breguet]

Dammit! Now it's stuck in my head!

[sspielman]

Another little bit.....Stephen Stills auditioned for the Monkees but wasn't hired!

[MarleyMon]

...stuck in my head!
The Monkees movie "Head" is pretty amusing.

[davids]

Two other Monkees favorites:

(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-XgmUqTt7I)

Daydream Believer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRr-sNlddR) (p.s. Let's Knife (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9RAbi2xEvo)!)

Jimi Hendrix OPENED for them. Instant credibility. Scared the crap out of their audience, but still -

iirc, there was actually a grassroots organization called Concerned Mothers Of Monkee Fans that sprang up during that tour specifically to protest the inclusion of Mr. Hendrix in that otherwise wholesome show. Something about not wanting their 10-year-old daughters to witness this acid-crazed afro'd hippie humping his guitar.
