Great stuff! He's defintely one of the most underrated musicians from the era. Harry Nilsson wrote and recorded some truly memorable tunes back in the day.

I have NEVER heard a Nilsson song cover that surpassed his original. Never.

"...the day after santa came". i could never get that lyric until now! 45 years it took!! most monkees songs i know the lyrics to without having them written out,but this was one that always puzzled me. great to hear part of the evolution of one of my favorite "davy songs". thank you!

@markerfkd
im glad you have thoughts about it...
i was just going by the conversation that was at the beginning of this clip:
producer: uh ... this is a davy ones song...
harry: yeah... i don't really have a title yet ...
i guess to avoid having to point this out, i should have said "he wrote it then recorded it for this session with the intention of it being for davy."
better ?
