"All of Your Toys" is a great song, released only recently. It was a throwaway from the Headquarters album.

I've never seen this but its supposed to be VERY trippy & has a cult following:
The Monkees in "head" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_%28film%29)
The storylines and peak moments of the movie came from a weekend visit to a resort in Ojai, California, where the Monkees, Rafelson and Nicholson brainstormed into a tape recorder, reportedly with the aid of a large quantity of marijuana.
Head is essentially plotless, a seemingly stream of consciousness stringing-together of musical numbers, satire of various movie genres, elements of psychedelia, and references to topical issues such as the Vietnam War.
It was not a commercial success. This was in part because Head, being an antithesis of The Monkees TV show, comprehensively demolished the group's carefully-groomed public image, while the older, hipper audience they'd been reaching for rejected the Monkees' efforts out of hand.
The film featured Victor Mature as "The Big Victor" and other cameo appearances by Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper, Teri Garr, Carol Doda, Annette Funicello, Toni Basil (the film's choreographer), Frank Zappa, and athletes Sonny Liston and Ray Nitschke.Sounds like a great rental movie..........

Yeah that scene is from Head. It's a pretty cool movie if your into them. I own it. It's like watching a hard days night on acid.
I love the Monkees - finally someone else under the age of 60 who thinks they're cool (y)

I was infatuated with The Monkees as a kid. Mike Nesmith is pretty much my only childhood crush that has carried over into adulthood.
