The last Top 10 single for the Monkees. Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart wrote the basics of the song on the way to Don Kirshner’s house; he’d told them to quickly come up with a tune containing a girl’s name for the TV show. Mike Nesmith HATED the record, though. There were two versions - the first was used on the show a year earlier and the second, with horns and a little different arrangement, became the hit. Louie Shelton (who also did the intro on “Last Train To Clarksville”) played the flamenco-style guitar on both versions. A Wrecking Crew effort all the way.
