Old or not, this is still a great tune. I grew up in a house that my one sister and 4 brothers played the 45 record constantly, with the cool yellow plaster "adapter" in the middle of the record, to fit bigger record players! You guys had fun with this, but you got the feel soooo right! cool job!
I just started playing this myself about two weeks ago on a twelve string but I've learned a lot watching you. You guys are awesome and I hope to see more. It was fun to watch you having fun as well. :)
That is really excellent! How such young men could find such an obscure song is amazing, and you play it so well. Thank you for a warm feeling and a big smile!
"Tapioca Tundra" is one of my Top 25 Monkees songs, as are nearly all of Mike Nesmith's works from that period. Meanwhile, *you* guys are fantastic, for you both seem to relish Nesmith's Monkees stuff more than the man these days does himself. (I'm waiting to hear anything differently, Michael.)

Wrong! This is blasphemy! You are not worthy, you are not worthy! If Nez were dead, he would be rolling over in his grave! Now, get a life, you boobs!
I saw Nez play a concert at the Roadhouse in NYC back in the early 90's...and I really wish he'd played more of the songs you guys do. Still, a great show. Keep up the good work!
Not quite as good as by the Monkees but very, very nicely done and respectable!
Kind regards, Andreas Sander (ferdinand)

@graphophone This song made it to #1 in Detroit, so it is considered one of
their bigger hits there...or at the time. Now, who remembers, sadly?

Very impressive! My favorite monkees song from way back. I agree, it sounds like a demo of the real group!

If this had no images to it, one might start to think it was some demo version of the real deal. Really nice job, y'all.
