"Too Many Girls (Davy and Fern)"

When I watched "Too Many Girls (Davy and Fern)" a few months ago, one of the musical cues sounded familiar, but I couldn't identify it.  Yester-day, I watched an episode of The Addams Family ("Cousin Itt Visits the Addams Family") in which the same piece was quoted.  I referenced the IMDb page for that episode and discovered that the piece is Brahms' Hungarian Dance No. 5.  In "Too Many Girls (Davy and Fern)," it's background music as the Monkees are getting their tea leaves read.

According to Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story of the 60s TV Pop Sensation, "Too Many Girls (Davy and Fern)" - the fifteenth episode of The Monkees series - was broadcast fifty years ago to-day (19 December 1966).  It was written by Gerald Gardner, Dee Caruso, and Dave Evans, directed by James Frawley, and featured the song "I'm a Believer."  Sandoval describes the plot as: "A scheming stage mom plots to place her doe-eyed daughter alongside Davy in a dynamic duo."
