Written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart. According to the Monkees Box Set "Listen to the Band", Paul Revere and the Raiders were the first to record it. It was on their album "Midnight Ride" which it says was released 6 months before the Monkees version. This Monkees box set also has a live version, which sounds a bit closer to the punk rock versions other bands did than to their studio version. The Monkees version was always one of my favorite Monkees tunes, but I like the Minor Threat version as well.
