"The Porpoise Song"
#TheMonkees (1968) from the movie "Head"

#CaroleKing co-wrote the song with #GerryGoffin, and his production owes much to "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" released the year before.

3 things about Bob Rafelson’s HEAD [1968]

1. Nobody ever lends money to a man with a sense of humor.
2. Cameos by Jack Nicholson *and* Dennis Hopper.
3. “Atta boy, Mike, atta boy.”

Of course, he falls at that first hurdle every time. And it’s always funny.

4️⃣ The power dynamic between Tony and Jeannie is so evident here. She’s clearly the boss. When she doesn’t want something to happen, it doesn’t happen. End of story.

📺 Monday, October 17th, 1966: NBC aired this episode in the first hour of primetime, directly after #TheMonkees s1e6 and before #TheRogerMillerShow s1e6. Against it, ABC was airing #TheIronHorse s1e6 and CBS was airing #RunBuddyRun s1e6.

1️⃣ Decent story here, with an evil genie causing problems for our heroes. It’s resolved a bit too easily, however.

2️⃣ As usual, the comedy highlight concerns Dr. Bellows thinking he’s finally gotten Tony is trouble with the General. Very funny.

📺 Monday, Sept 12th, 1966: Aired on NBC after #TheMonkees s1e1, and before #TheRogerMillerShow s1e1. Against it, #TheIronHorse s1e1 on ABC, #RunBuddyRun s1e1 on CBS.

Day 24: a song by a band you wish were still together - #TheMonkees, What Am I Doing Hangin' Round https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJxY-gTPXCk

I grew up watching The Monkees' TV show in syndication. The music is pure manufactured pop, but the subversion still showed through. Whenever Dolenz broke the fourth wall to talk about how something was "pretty smart for a bunch of long-hairs." The lyrics to Pleasant Valley Sunday.

Question everything. It pisses off TPTB.

One more comparison came to me yesterday so I asked #ChatGPT again :-) last one

Q:can you compare the roles of each member of the #BananaSplits to their most similar counterparts of #TheMonkees

The meat of the answer was:

Fleegle and Micky Dolenz both played drums and sang in their respective groups. Bingo and Michael Nesmith both played guitar and sang. Drooper and Peter Tork both played bass and sang. Snorky is similar to Davy Jones, both were the vocalist in their groups.

Just added this super-ultra-rare “C” style poster from #TheMonkees movie Head to go alongside my Australian poster from the film to my collection. I’ve never even seen an original in person until I came across this one.

You know, it really is a pretty good song...

(well, yeah, written by Carole King & Gerry Goffin)

“People unjustly kicked us in the nuts over and over because they thought of [The Monkees] as vapid or whatever word you want to use to indicate no artistic return. But it is not.”
