I didn't know crystal meth was around back then, or that the Monkees would have had anything to do with it.<br /><br />I do indeed have the Mike version of "The Girl I Knew Somewhere," as it was a bonus track on the 1995 Rhino reissue of HEADQUARTERS. I'm not overly familiar with Mike's solo stuff, however. <br /><br />Thanks for posting!Glenn Greenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13080935309485100122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867678243594042401.post-66402441661455429032012-05-02T03:05:58.140-04:002012-05-02T03:05:58.140-04:00Wow, Glenn, I didn't know you were a Monkees f...Wow, Glenn, I didn't know you were a Monkees fan. I've been one since I was very young--yeah, right around the 20th anniversary tour--and have always gravitated toward Papa Nez, same as you. Nice to see him so finely represented in your list!<br /><br />An interesting aside about "Sunny Girlfriend": I once saw an internet posting where a nameless fan had a bet with a friend over whether the song was about a woman who operated a crystal meth lab. Mike jumped in and admitted as much. "Sunshine factory," eh?<br /><br />(Incidentally, I'm curious if you've heard "The Girl I Knew Somewhere" with Mike's lead vocal instead of Micky's, and for that matter, Mike's solo efforts, particularly his instrumental album "The Wichita Train Whistle Sings," full of orchestral covers of many of his Monkees songs. Really, truly a wonderful album!)<br /><br />Good also to see Davy's vocal on "Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)" highest on your list of his songs. A remarkable, underrated gem written by Neil Diamond.<br /><br />RIP Davy,<br /><br />~G.Gary M.

While Davey Jones's death had less of an impact on me, as I was never the world's biggest Monkees fan, Levon's death whomped me but good, because his music has been part of my DNA since childhood.<br /><br />Which is all by way of saying that music is awesome. :)Keith R.A.
