"Last Train to Clarksville"
I watched "Monkees at the Movies" this morning and noticed a feature in "Last Train to Clarksville" that I've already noted in a couple other songs: the phrase "all alone" in the line "I can't hear you in this noisy railroad station all alone" alliterates, and because the two words begin with the same sound, there's a sense of that singularity.

"Monkees Get Out More Dirt"
I watched "Monkees Get Out More Dirt" last night and noticed a trivial detail. The music that Peter plays (accompanied by some string players) in order to impress April seems to be based on the adagio from Bach's Harpsichord Concerto in D minor, BWV 1052.
