The Monkees announce 50th anniversary tour, and new LP

Loved the show as a kid, always liked the songs too, and Head is a great 60s movie.

But, I bought a compilation for the kids to listen to a couple of years back, after they got into the the TV show also, and was a tiny bit put-off by the… tone, I guess… of some of the songs. “Cuddly Toy” seemed to be kinda misogynistic, for example, for the freewheeling happy-go-lucky Saturday goofball heroes they present as on TV.

NB It was a double compilation, and that may have made the difference. CD 1 was solid gold.
