Looking back on Monkees singles

12/27/2016

22 Comments

 
Here are the picture sleeves for all American Monkees singles released between 1966 and 2016. Some were produced in different variations ("A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You" and "Valleri" came with no picture sleeve at all), and countries outside of the United States often promoted their own singles that differed from US selections. Perhaps the most famous example of this is the UK release of Micky's "Randy Scouse Git" from the Headquarters album, which became a #2 hit there.

Fast forward to 2016, an era when physical singles are no longer produced in vast quantities, where the songs issued from The Monkees' latest studio album Good Times! were represented with digital images instead of actual physical sleeves.

In retrospect, there were many other Monkees songs that were more than suitable for single release, and it seems that The Monkees could have potentially had a few additional chart hits during their heyday. Think about the fact that in the spring of 1964 at the height of Beatlemania, The Beatles held each slot in the Top 5 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. That's an incredible achievement that hasn't been topped, and likely won't be equaled.
Picture
That being said, The Monkees were an extremely hot commodity at the peak of their popularity, too. Consider the following chart statistics. The Monkees outsold The Beatles and The Rolling Stones combined in 1967. The Monkees had four #1 albums in 1967 alone. The Monkees belong to a small group of artists that have hit #1 simultaneously in the United States and the United Kindgom (in 1967 with "I'm a Believer" as well as the first two albums). Combined, The Monkees and More of The Monkees were at the top of the Billboard LP chart for an amazing 31 consecutive weeks, and by the time the group had disbanded in 1970 their albums had spent 37 weeks at #1. The Monkees' first LP held the record for the longest stay at #1 for a debut album (until 1982 when Men At Work's first, Business As Usual, broke that record). The Monkees had three #1 hits, six Top 10s, 12 Top 40s — 10 of which made it into the Top 20 — and a total of 20 Hot 100 singles. The Monkees were a chart juggernaut for a period of time, and perhaps the group could have added to their chart successes had more singles been released.

There was, of course, a major struggle occurring behind the scenes right as Monkeemania was taking off. The four Monkees joined forces against music supervisor Don Kirshner, a story that has been documented many times before. Perhaps the politics of the time and the uncertainty surrounding the situation as Micky, Davy, Mike and Peter fought for and ultimately won complete artistic and creative control of their music stifled single releases during this period. In fact, one single, "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You"/"She Hangs Out," was withdrawn during the Monkees/Kirshner feud. Another potential single, the group production "All of Your Toys," was shelved because of a publishing dispute. 
We can't forget that The Monkees didn't just have great A-sides. The flipside to almost every Monkees single of the 1960s contains a song of merit, a testament to the amount of quality material made available by and for The Monkees. In fact, many of the B-sides would have made great A-sides. Look at "Steppin' Stone" (#20), "The Girl I Knew Somewhere" (#39), "Words" (#11) and "Tapioca Tundra" (#34) - they all received enough airplay to chart in the Top 40. And then there's "Goin' Down," "As We Go Along," "Take a Giant Step" and "Someday Man." And these songs were B-sides! 
Picture
Despite the fact that Colgems was not issuing multiple singles from each of the Monkees albums, there were some creative minds who craved for exclusive Monkees material as the group's television and recording career began to soar. As a result, eager and anxious DJs often taped songs directly off the television show for radio play. For instance, the first recorded version of "Valleri" was showcased on the series during the first season even though the song had not yet seen official release on a Monkees single or album up to that point. Original fans have recalled hearing this version of "Valleri" on the radio so much at the time that it led them to think it was indeed the new Monkees single. Bobby Hart, who along with Tommy Boyce wrote the song, had high hopes for "Valleri." "It should have been the next single" [after "I'm a Believer"], Hart told Monkees archivist Andrew Sandoval years later. Kirshner, however, passed on it, and the song would later be revived and re-recorded for single release in 1968.

Hindsight is always 20/20, so what songs might have added to the successful chart run of The Monkees in the 1960s?  Here are a few of my top picks:
​1. She: A great pop-rocker from Boyce & Hart, perhaps it was this fact that hampered it from seeing release as a single. Kirshner largely considered Boyce & Hart as second stringers, despite the fact that they were monumental in the early recording stages of The Monkees. Featuring an excellent lead vocal from Micky and the "Hey!" shouts, it's almost always on the set list at a Monkees concert.

​2. Love Is Only Sleeping: A psychedelic stunner from the Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. album, it was nearly issued as a single until someone thought the lyrics were a bit too suggestive for radio. "Daydream Believer" got the nod instead.

​3. Mary, Mary: A Nesmith original, a barn burner in their early live shows, and boasting a catchy guitar riff, "Mary, Mary" is an easy sing-along and would have given credence to the notion of The Monkees as legitimate artists during the whole "they don't play their instruments" drama. Rap icons Run-D.M.C. covered it in the late 1980s and issued it as a single, sampling Micky's voice. 

​4. Dream World: This one might be more out of left field as Monkees fans seem to have strong opinions about it, but I've always thought that "Dream World" is a great, underrated track in The Monkees' canon. Co-written by Davy and leading off the group's fifth long player, The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees, it features a sprightly arrangement by Shorty Rogers. The song is every bit as good as another Jones lead vocal from this era, "It's Nice To Be With You." That track peaked at #51 as the B-side of "D.W. Washburn." But "Dream World" easily outpaces "It's Nice To Be With You" and it would have sounded great on AM radio. Gotta love Davy's semi-ominous deliveries of "You'll see..." throughout the song, too.

​5. For Pete's Sake: An easy selection, this song became the closing theme during the second season of the group's TV series, thus making it instantly recognizable. Composed by Peter, the timely lyrics should have made it an obvious choice as the single from Headquarters during the Summer of Love. 

​6. What Am I Doing Hangin' 'Round?: Perhaps Nez put it best to Andrew Sandoval in an interview that appeared in the liner notes of the Pisces deluxe edition in 2007. "One of the things that I felt was honest was country rock," Nesmith said. "I wanted to move The Monkees more into that because I felt like, 'Gee, you know, if we get closer to country music, we’ll get closer to blues, and country blues, and so forth.' [The guys who wrote the song] Michael [Murphey] and Boomer Castleman – Boomer was his nickname – were writers at Screen Gems and they just wrote all kinds of really wonderful little songs, and 'Hangin' 'Round' was one of them.  It had a lot of uncountry things in it: a familiar change from a first major to a sixth minor – those kinds of things.  So it was kind of a new wave country song; [it] didn’t sound like the country of the time which was Buck Owens." The crossover potential could have opened up new audiences to the sounds of The Monkees in late 1967/early 1968.

​7. Steam Engine: Famous for its ultra expensive (and all-around fantastic) production by its author and producer, Chip Douglas, this brassy-bluesy number features a killer lead vocal from Micky and would have made for a suitable follow-up to the "Listen to the Band"/"Someday Man" single. Touring that year with the all African-American rhythm and blues troupe Sam & The Goodtimers, "Steam Engine" seems to encapsulate the sounds and style of The Monkees as a live act in 1969. Not to mention the fact that this song features some great pedal steel guitar work by the late, great Red Rhodes.

8. All of Your Toys: This track is one of the most historically significant Monkees songs, recorded in January 1967 at the height of the group's simmering feud with musical supervisor Don Kirshner. Along with an early version of "The Girl I Knew Somewhere" and "She's So Far Out, She's In," the song represented The Monkees' first recordings as a fully functioning, self-contained band. Unfortunately for The Monkees and songwriter Martin, Screen Gems was unable to acquire the publishing rights to "All of Your Toys" from its original holder, Tickson Music, for which Martin worked. As a result, Screen Gems nixed the song for single release. This landmark Monkees recording languished in the vaults until 1987 when Rhino Records compiled an album of previously unreleased Monkees songs.

Did I miss a song that is on your list of fantasy Monkees singles? Or do you disagree with one of my selections? Feel free to leave a comment and chime in!

I always thought "Shades of Gray" would have been a great single. It was on the Arista "Monkees' Greatest Hits" album. As a kid I guess I thought it had been. "Tomorrow's Gonna Be Another Day", "Cuddly Toy", "Papa Gene's Blues" and "Sometime In The Morning" are others that spring to mind.

Since Headquarters never had an official American single, I'd offer up "You Told Me" along with "No Time". No Time never fails to make me happy and You Told Me I think is the album's hidden gem.

I had heard the Colgems/RCA were real high on "Daddy's Song" as a single in 1968 - that was the real reason Nilsson's version was taken off Ariel Ballet. Both Cuddly Toy's came out at the same time (late 1967) and there seemed to be no problem there since no single was forthcming.

Lester Sill has always said "D.W. Washburn" was a mistake release. He was trying for a summertime Lovin' Spoonful feel like "Daydream." (As well as giving some of the Monkees' pie to good friends Leiber and Stroller). What would be released? Some songs could not be considered because of the movie, and based and Lester Sill's belief, a non-Monkees written song would not be the A-Side.

Maybe of process of elimination "Through The Looking Glass" might have made a better single with "Carlisle Wheeling ('67)" being the B-Side, Boyce said "Me Without You" was single material, but I think that the song would be killed on release as ersatz-Beatles.

If the Instant Replay version of Through the Looking Glass was ready that would have made a better single.
I still think a 45-edited version of Can You dig it would have made for a GREAT in the summer of '68 and would have helped promote the movie.
Another choice: the Davy-sung Nine Times Blue backed with the Micky-sung Tear the Top Right off of My head. Not the strongest single but it would have presented a unified front of the Monkees featuring substantial contributions from all members.

The fuzz-guitar version of Through the Looking Glass would have made for a great single in either 68 for Birds the Bees & The Monkees or 69 for Instant Replay (rather than Tear Drop City).

HEAD should have been promoted by Daddy's Song b/w Can You Dig It?

Sill wouldn't have allowed a Tork song on a single. Tork had angered a lot of people at Colgems (and RCA) over, what they felt, was wasted time in the studio. Even the Monkee's long time engineer had it with him. That's why Lady's Baby or any other Tork song was not on "The Birds, the Bees..." Sill was not going to approve or support poor behavor.

My opinion is that Raybert were saving Can You Dig It? And Long Title for the movie.
Unfortunately, Peter didn't have anything polished enough in the can to make it on to Birds, Bees. I doubt it was punishment.

I am also surprised Sill agreed to release "Good Clean Fun" as an A-Side since it followed none of his guidelines as to what a single should be (i.e. the name of the song is in the song so people can identify it) and had an antagonistic relationship with Nesmith.

I wonder who at Colgems decided for it's release (Sill? Cahill? David Pearl?) Nesmith seem blase about it since he knew the Monkees thing was winding down and I don't think it was ever played on the 1969 tour.

Those "Present" sessions had few outside Screen Gems songs recorded. They were mainly Monkee-written. I think a "Mommy And Daddy/If You Have The Time" could have been a better single or "Looking For The Goodtimes/The Crippled Lion (1969 mix)".

I say "Looking..." because Colgems would might want to try again using a 1966 song (like Tear Drop City) to boost sales. (Remember it did place higher than "Listen To The Band.) It seems "Apples, Peaches, Bananas & Pears" and "Of You" were serious contenders for "Present"so another release from archives doesn't seem so strange.

I believe I read that when Good Clean Fun/Mommy and Daddy was released the Monkees had complete authority over what went on their records.
(However, did Davy really choose Ladies aid Society and Lookin for the Good times as his third and fourth Present cuts? Maybe)

Honestly, after reviewing the content released in the Monkees Present Box Set, I don't understand how those song selections were made. Clearly superior material was still in the vault...

larry gonzalez
12/28/2016 18:23:33

I think "Good Clean Fun" was released as a single because of the strong reaction to "Listen To The Band". It was originally the B-side to "Someday Man" but radio and the public favored "Band", and it became a minor hit. I guess the powers that be thought the next A-side should be a Nez tune.

Politics mainly. Nesmith was probably keeping his best songs tucked away for his solo career. Jones was easily controlled by Colgems and agreed to whatever they did. Micky only had a few songs completely done so their wasn't much to choose from.

How about a version of Nine Times Blue similar to the one performed on the Johnny Cash show. Have Davy and Mickey overdub harmonies over the April 1968 version. Might have been a good single.

Also, I wonder who would have sang what leads on those backing tracks Nesmith recorded with the Wrecking Crew in May of 1969? I am thinking he was trying to move the group into a different direction and I don't think those songs were recorded just for him.

Those two contradictory actions lead me to believe that Nesmith absolutely wanted the stuff that was on FNB to be on Present or Instant Replay, why else would he waste his time recording close to an albums worth of cohesive and quite high quality backing tracks which would never be used again. It leads me to believe that his departure was prompted by his material being passed over and not promoted properly. Do we know why he left? There are conflicting rumors of a fight with Micky, something about quitting after a TV guest spot, and something like, "he just knew it was time." Do we actually have anything more concrete?

I still believe from what I've read the Monkees were given total control over what songs were on Present and and the GCF/M&D single, with maybe some guidance from the powers.

What seems like a sub-par song to our ears with hindsight may not have sounded so at the time. It could be these were even pet songs of the Monkees. For example, I think Never Tell a Woman Yes is a weak song. Maybe not so much to those hearing it at the time?

I think Nesmith left because the project had run its course. It was no longer artistically satisfying to him. They started out 1969 with high hopes but lagging concert ticket and record sales did them in.

Also remember, from 1968 on, the Monkees recorded the songs, but it was Colgems (Lester Sll and Brandon Cahill) that chose the album tracks and chose the singles. For example, they were the ones that were responsible for the 1966 tracks on the 1969 albums and I think even the album names. The group just recorded for whatever project was necessary (single, album, or overdubbed tv show).

the Door Into Summer gets my vote, although I agree with many of the others listed--Love Is Only Sleeping is an impressive vocal. Interesting that much of the discussion is about the last singles of the 60s. the Monkees Present is a weak album. Good Clean Fun isn't a bad song (and many of the songs on the album are), but it's too much of a jump into country music for the fans used to listening to pop from The Monkees. I don't really know how pop and country are defined, but to me, Listen to the Band is a pop song and Good Clean Fun is a country song. And it hardly matches that sledge-hammer of subtlety, Mommy and Daddy.

And You Told Me is a great song. And I'd love to see a modern day pop star remake Star Collector. It's such a witty song. "How can I love her, when I just don't respect her?"

Replace "Dream World" (which is AWFUL, sorry Davy fans) with "Shades of Grey," and I think the list presented here, for this article,is a pretty good one.

Along wih "Shades," I think "Sweet Young Thing," "Saturday's Child," "She," "Mary, Mary," "All of Your Toys," "You Just May Be the One," "For Pete's Sake," "Randy Scouse Git," "What Am I Doing Hangin' Round," "Love Is Only Sleeping," "Hard To Believe," "You and I," "Steam Engine," "Nine Times Blue," and "Some of Shelley's Blues" all would've made great singles. All had potential to be big hits.

Likewise, while some of the group's B-sides were hits in their own right, some of them should've been A-sides that might've gotten more attention that way. In particular, "Goin' Down," "As We Go Along," and "Someday Man" all deserved to big hits too. "As We Go Along," especially, strikes me as one of the great should've-been hits of the 1960s (not to mention the entire rock era)!

Really, The Monkees needed to release more singles. Most albums had just one U.S. single (and Headquarters NONE!). More singles might've gotten more songs better exposure, given the group more hits,and maybe their popularity would've lasted longer. Just one of the many odd business decisions made by TPTB at Screen Gems, I guess.

I don't think it was on purpose that Headquarters had zero singles. The early track listing did have "A Little Bit Me..." and "The Girl I Knew Somewhere."

I think what happened was the Headquarters was released right as the group was beginning record the 4th album, and it was probably decided that there was stronger material to record.

Also , singles were released three/four months apart (March 1967, July 1967, October 1967), so a May/June single would have been too soon. I think once "PVS" was recorded in early June, they knew that was the one. It just took time to make a proper mono mix that didn't sound like mush.

Here are my choices of songs that should have or could have been released as singles. I know most albums in the 60's only released one or two singles, but I think the first few had enough hit material on them to justify more. It did become somewhat of a trend in the 80's with bigger artists to release 4 or 5 singles, all hits. I'm also including songs that were recorded at the time of release of the LP, but were not included, but in my opinon should have been.
