Something old but gold. The Monkees's last number one hit in the U.S.

Probably the most famous part of the song is the humorous opening:
Chip Douglas: "7A" (referring to the take of the song)
Davy Jones: "What number is this, Chip?"
Chip Douglas and others (annoyed): "7A!"
Davy Jones: "Okay. I mean, don't get excited, man. Just 'cause I'm short, I know."

"Stems and bones and stone walls too could keep me from you

 Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree"
- Nick Drake from the album Way To Blue (An Introduction To Nick Drake)


Nick Drake (19 Jun 1948 – 25 Nov 1974) was an English singer-songwriter and musician best known for his acoustic, autumnal songs. His primary instrument was the guitar, though he was also proficient at piano, clarinet, and saxophone. Although he failed to find a wide audience during his lifetime, Drake's work has grown steadily in stature, to the extent that he now ranks among the most influential English singer-songwriters of the last 50 years.

On 25 November 1974, Drake died from an overdose of amitriptyline, a prescribed antidepressant; he was 26 years

"I start each day off the same. Stretching out my panda arms, reaching for the guitar to play."
- Her Space Holiday from the new album XOXO Panda & The New Kid Revival.
