[2] Two versions were recorded – one for their first album The Monkees[2] and a second shorter rendition designed to open the television show.

It is based loosely on the Dave Clark Five song (including finger snap intro) "Catch Us If You Can".

The full-length version was released as a single in several countries including Australia, where it became a hit, reaching No.

A slower version – sung by Boyce and Hart – was recorded for an early production of the pilot episode (16mm black and white).

This can be found on the Special Features section of the Monkees season 1 DVD box set.
