BULLSHIT. I take back my like. This is NOT an acoustic demo. This is the album version with a whole lotta tracks mixed out. Fuck you audio mystic, you charlatan.

Michael Daly

I think this is the vocal track for Micky and Mike added later to the full backing track.

This is one of my favorites. I know that Mike Nesmith wrote this song. So when you hear this kind of stuff you wonder why the producer balked over letting them write or produce their own stuff, instead of trying to sell the idea that these guys were the American Beatles. They should have let them have cart blanc in the studios and let them do their own thing. It would have fared a lot better for them.

I've only just realised where Mike got thee intro from. Listen to the Rolling Stones 'It's All Over now' and Mike's definitely paying homage at the beginning. Just shows you can take a certain idea as a starting point and then go in a v different direction and make another great song.

Definitely Micky's harmonies. As others have posted I think this is the album version slowed and stripped down.

Nez has a little of John Denver, and Donovan, with a healthy dose of Texan

Dave VanSteemburg

poptopia1

Ok, here's how this version was most likely done. The main backing track was recorded first, either onto 4-track or 8-track. Possibly edited different takes together due to Micky's tempo shifts. Mike overdubbed this acoustic (tuned down to D) & Davy prolly added the shaker, each on a different track, judging by the final stereo mix. After the instruments were all taped, the tape was "bounced" to another 4track or 8track to allow vocal overdubs. Hence the vast stereo separation on the whole album

well, I wasn't putting you down or slamming your comment. I realized that this was indeed the original track and thought I might inform you of this. (double sheesh)

When I say original, I mean the original released version we are familiar with. It was a compliment to this alternate version. Sheesh!

This IS the original version (just acoustic and vocals). The one on record is exactly the same except it was sped up. This is the original speed of the recording

my local oldies radio station had a "monkeemania" weekend after the tour was announced. everytime they played a monkees song they gave away a pair of tickets. i was actually the first winner. i couldn't believe it. i heard the first note of "hey hey we're the monkees" and hit my redial (already set with the number), it rang 3 times,the dj picked up and said i won! i think there will be videos posted from just about every show on the tour. it'll be cool to follow the tour through youtube videos.
