"Papa Gene's Blues"

I recently read about the original broadcast of "Hillbilly Honeymoon," so I watched the episode this morning.  The only song in it is "Papa Gene's Blues," and I noticed that the sort of chiastic structure in the line "For I love you, and I know you love me" (I | you || you | me) is mirrored to some degree by the melodic arc, something like this:

"I love you" is sung to an ascending group of notes (B C# D), and "you love me" is sung to a descending group of notes (C# C# A).

"Monkee Mayor"

I recently watched "Monkee Mayor" and noticed what might be a slight nod to the Beatles' Help! movie.  During the romp where the Monkees are campaigning for Mike for mayor, there's a shot where Mayor Motley, evidently frustrated by this, throws darts at a poster of Mike:

Help! starts similarly, with Clang throwing darts at a screen on which a film of the Beatles performing "Help!" is projected:

There's also a scene in the pilot episode (which later became "Here Come the Monkees," S1E10) where Mike throws darts at a picture of the Beatles.
