The last train to Clarksville, a cover. This is funny and maybe because I am 40 plus I new this small fact.
******************************************
FROM WIKIPEDIA
Many of the early sessions of Kirshner controlled music contained songs written, produced, and performed by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart. These included "Theme from the Monkees" and "Last Train to Clarksville" where the Boyce and Hart demo was used with vocals removed and replaced with multi-track vocals provided by only Micky Dolenz.
******************************************
So every time the band sings that song they were covering an original that only Dolenz had sung on. That is too funny.
Guess no one cares but still this is a geeks dream to cover a cover. Would this be considered Ironic? I can't think of the right word.

I would love it if the Monkees track only let users sing, but sent over a bunch of session musicians to your house to play the backing track better than you and your friends ever could. :)
