I started really liking the Monkees when I was in 1st grade (1986). Of course back then I never understood songs, I just like to listen to the beat and whatnot, and the lyrics were just silly to me. So now as an adult I listen to these songs again, and I'm like, woah! This song is so sleezy! It's all about using a girl and then telling her, hey, you're not the only one I've used or that any man has used. It's really interesting too how the song is so bouncy and sounds so innocent, until you listen to the words. Such is the genius of the monkees.

Let's not give The Monkees too much credit. The song Cuddly Toy was written by Harry Nilsson. You can see his version of it on YouTube
