According to Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story of the 60s TV Pop Sensation, "I've Got a Little Song Here" - the twelfth episode of The Monkees series - was broadcast fifty years ago to-day (28 November 1966).  It was written by Treva Silverman, directed by Bruce Kessler, and featured the songs "Gonna Buy Me a Dog" and "Mary, Mary."  Sandoval describes the plot as: "An unscrupulous music publisher tries to take Mike Nesmith for a ride until The Monkees turn the tables."
