Being the origins of The Monkees was under TV censorship as opposed to the other bands/artists, they were the kings of sneaking things through. Another note about the music style of this song, they started doing a track per album with this old vaudeville/music hall style sound from albums 3, 4, 5 and 6. |

| The Monkees – Star Collector Lyrics

|
|
The song, written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, is about the phenomenon of groupies, and takes a dismissive attitude toward them ("Think I'll let her keep on going, wherever it is she's going to / Give her an autograph and tell her 'It's been nice knowing you'"... "It won't take much time / Before I get her off my mind"). |

Gerry Goffin and Carole King wrote this about how stagnant life is in West Orange NJ. This is where they lived during their employment at the famous Brill Building in the late 60's. To correct some errors involving the musicians on the Monkees recording, Mike Nesmith played lead guitar and harmony vocals, Peter Tork played piano, Micky did lead vocals, Davy played maracas and sang backing vocals, Chip Douglas was on bass, Bill Chadwick played acoustic guitar and Eddie Hoh was on drums. |
