My next favorite Monkees song. The only other copy of this I could find here was sped up, so probably from a UK print. Excellent, and brilliantly written song written by Micky Dolenz.
Some additional info cobbled together from various sources: In his book Micky explains the lyrics as a kind of free-association song about his experience of visiting England for the first time. The Beatles are “The Four Kings of .“ who threw a welcoming party for The Monkees. “Wonderful lady“ is his first wife, Samantha Juste. The “girl in yellow dress“ is a reference to ’Mama’ Cass Elliot who was also there. After that heavy night of fun Mickey woke the next day to someone shouting “Randy, Scouse, Git“ on the television and thought it would be a cool name. Randy Scouse Git was the term used by Alf Garnet about his Liverpudlian son-in-law in the sitcom “To Death Do Us Part“. Prior to it’s U.K. release the record company informed Mickey of the meaning behind the title and suggested he give them an ’alternate title’ - hence the U.K. release name of the title.
Again, no copyright infringement intended, I just wanted to put this video of this great song up to personally enjoy, and figured that I would keep it public as an upgrade to the version already here.
