According to Micky Dolenz(quoted from The Music Box), this song was about him committing suicide. In the context of the movie it makes sense as the object was to destroy the Monkees image. To me, the line "a face, a voice, an overdub has no choice" pretty much sums up the way they were all treated by the PTB. I feel the prevailing attitude was "look good,sing, and shut up" This is without a doubt one of their best songs and Micky's rendering of it was beautiful.By the way, I saw them last week and it still is.
