"Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)"

Yester-day (after long neglecting my project of listening to all of the Monkees' albums I have), I listened to More of the Monkees and noticed a small feature in "Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)."  "Sorrow" in the line "I see all kinds of sorrow" is sung with a melisma (D C C).  Because it's sung with an extra syllable, there's a musical sense of the multitude of "all kinds of."
