The porpoise song is a complete copy of the beatles. The monkeys should have been fined heavily and the record banned(porpoise even rhymes with walrus!). Grow up and realize the monkees were just a made up band by a TV show.

Surely "porpoise" rhymes with "tortoise", if said in a similar way?

Anyway, great song, played it this weekend and thrilled to it. See my notes on forthcoming C90 article in which the song appears...

I like the Monkees more thanthe Beatles. "The Porpoise Song" is beautiful. The "Head" LP is great. I will go & listen to it now

Leave it to the Monkees to break me out of my Siouxsie loop. This song is astonishing and gorgeous.

Riding the backs of giraffes for laughs is alright for a while

Us Monkee Nuts know that the lyric refers to Micky Dolenz's career as a child actor in the series "Circus Boy". And yes, The Monkees were better than the Beatles.

monster song, probably their best and one of the undeniable greats from the 60s.
also, always fun to see ethan's musical taste circa 2001.
