@Dashdrum Same here, and I was also in Michigan (grew up there). I'll admit that The Monkees are still very important to me. In the genre of pure joyful pop, this is one of the top 10 songs ever (and don't even get me started on Neil Diamond):

@codeWhisperer Little Dashdrum was just 8 years old in 1972, and was listening to The Archies, The Partridge Family, and The Monkees. Never heard this before. Nice heavy funk!
