“Porpoise Song” #62 10/19/1968

What could go wrong with “Head,” the Monkees’ first movie? The script was co-written by Jack Nicholson (who also appeared in the flick, which he co-produced), it had songs written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King (they composed this one) and Harry Nilsson, the soundtrack LP had a shiny, reflective foil cover...well, the movie tanked. It was totally unfocused and disjointed, maybe because Nicholson was reportedly tripping on LSD while he was writing. The Monkees argued constantly with the director. In other words, a typical rock movie. This single also tanked.

Too bad the single tanked. This is one of my personal favorites by them.
