Too bad the hipper-than-thou types at Rolling Stone and Creem sneered at them so much at the time. They would have enjoyed more deserved success.

Great band, song, and video. But R.I.P Davy Jones, No one could successfully replace you back in 1967 (1:34 in this video) and certainly not now in 2012 (with these spoiled 21st century teen stars that are NOT about the music at all).

@rasputinslovechild1 maybe but the shit they have now would never even come close to these artist and milli vanilli i like them even though it was other singers doing there songs good question how many of these bands where really singing and if there records where not playing in the background mv was just like richard nixon he got caught and so did milli vanilli but the beatles and hendrix shit man they could even sing good in the shower if you put the radio on now ha the shit you will hear

@LNei , great point. I think many people are mesmerized by performers, hence the popularity of non talents like Milli Vanilli. As great talents that they were, where would the Beatles have gone without George Martin? The studio musicians, engineers and producers are the unsung hero's. Even huge stars like Jimi Hendrix and Jerry Garcia pitched in on other peoples songs. However, the point I was trying to make was the Monkees got a bad rap. They had talent and some great songs...

@rasputinslovechild1

.While All The Monkees, played instruments

on the Headquarters, album, they didn't play everything.

The bass on Headquarters was played by producer Douglas Farthing Hatfield, under the name Chip Douglas.

Not that it matters, practically every US recording artist releases

from that era feature the same group of studio players.

Sometimes I wonder who we the fans are actually fans of, the artists knowingly ? the studio cats unknowingly ?

both with equal aplomb ? :)

love the video!

@warwhatisthegoodfor not true at all. They wrote the songs and played the instruments on their album called "headquarters".
