The guitar solo during the last 30 sec's of this song is masterful.

@forfelix48 You do know this was written by Mike Nesmith of the Monkees right? And both he and Peter tork were musicians before the Monkees. Davey Jones had a solo album out and performed on stage prior to being a monkee, and Micky Dolenz, though an actor, was an excellent lead singer and became a solid drummer. It wasn't that they couldn't play, it was that Don Kirshner didn't allow them to play ... until he was fired and the Monkees wrote and played almost everything on their third album.
