Thank you. Always appreciate your effort on these deconstructions

This has always been one of my favorites. It's a curious mix of a pretty harpsichord arrangement layered atop a relentless pace - like a runaway semi truck (pray for your soul if you get in the way.) One of the most energetic Monkees tunes ever. Your deconstruction of this is excellent. I'm wondering if you couldn't get a clear isolation on the bass, because as I recall, that bass is kinda buried in the mix on both mono and stereo mixes. It's a shame too because it's a fantastic bass line that is rather complex. There are places where the bass does these incredible runs up and down the fret. In fact, I have always wondered if there are two bass players on this. There's a wonderful part near the end where the bass misses a note- he sort of does the change up just a fraction of a beat after everyone else, and still it sounds good. I've just about broken my fingers trying to play this bass line.

I'm inclined to think that the drummer on the kit is Billy Lewis. In the Monkees' 1966 L.A. session recordings, he and Hal Blaine were the only drummers who played the full kit - sometimes supplemented by Jim Gordon and Gary Coleman (e.g., All The King's Horses) and other percussionists. The style doesn't seem to resemble Hal's style and Billy Lewis had other songs in that era of recordings with a prominent kick drum. Billy is likely the drummer on "Your Auntie Grizelda," too, and that was another Keller/Barry concoction recorded entirely in L.A.

Still a good isolation. We know they are studio musicians playing and they basically used the same ones. The drumming and percussion drive the song, anyway. You did a fine job
