From their mostly awful Live 1967 album, please enjoy (if that is the word) The Monkees and their sub-garage take on Mickey Dolenz' actually quite wonderful (the studio version) "Randy Scouse Git."
As always, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the first reader who gleans the clip's relevance to the theme of tomorrow's Weekend Listomania.

Best or worst songs whose titles do not appear in the lyrics.
Guys named Randy?
I'm struck by how non-hysterical they're driving the crowd - the girls want to scream but can't find a reason to.
Alternative titles to songs? They call them this, you know them as that. Example: Baba O'Reilly (Teenage Wasteland).
Guys named Randy -- yes!!!!
Actually, uh, no.
:-)
Gee, that Peter sure was a cut up. Great CD cover, thought. Really raises your expectations.
Hmm, what are the clues? Monkees. Live.
Something about Mighty Joe Young? George of the Jungle? The Shaggs?
Songs with titles featuring British idioms?
Songs that sound like "Flowers on the Wall?"
Live albums by musicians who sound bored?
Occam's Razor: Songs great in studio but butchered live?
Songs with kettle drum solos!
Songs whose titles came from mid-60s British sitcoms? (Let's see if YOU get THAT!)
"Songs that sound like 'Flowers on the Wall?'"
Nice catch!
Flowers on the Wall?? Curse you, d.Smith, now that's all I can hear!
Songs with kettle drums --- YES!!!!
No.
:-)
Recordings that make you scream "Make it stop!!"
Songs with scat interludes.
Bands with animal-like names
Failed attempts to be funny by musicians
The sound of a band crashing and burning before breaking up
