The Monkees - Last Train To Clarksville

Beatleshills wouldn't be complete with the Monkees, the original, pre designed copyists. Plastic Beatles. Scream your corporate screams now, kids!

The Monkees became their own strange brew in time, even if they weren't exactly musical innovators at the start, and their movie "Head" proves that they were no slouches. If the Beatles hooked up with the Goons and Monty Python, then the Monkees hung out with the beacon of oddness that is Frank Zappa. That, and the LSD, plainly had an effect.

Here they are being cute, doing their best rip of "Ticket to Ride".
