b1-66er: Okay, Special K ...
... There's a lot to unpack here.
K: Yes.
b1: 1. When I was a kid, MD was my favorite Monkee. (Ringo was my favorite Beatle. Tin Man was my favorite WoO character.)
I've churned a bit over time, but as an adult
as an adult my ordering is
Mike Nesmith
George Harrison
Cowardly Lion
2. I considered SHP to be amongst the lamest REM songs. Right down there with "Stand."
I'm fact, Mr Stipe couldn't believe they'd done it on release. "Did we just make a pop song?"
3. The original had a B-52.
Mr. Dolenz should've found a woman from his home town to cover the female vocals. Maybe even a kid to make the median age still correct?
4. This song/vid is > the REM original.
5. 6. He should record a commentary track with the video.
That would be super interesting.
