Monkees's 'Porpoise Song' on AMC's Mad Men

[SloopJohnnyB]

I was watching the end of this week's MAD MEN episode and here comes the Monkee's 'Porpoise Song' (The Theme from 'Head') for the final credits. Wow! I wonder if Micky Dolenz got advance word. I'm sure he was blown away.

'Porpoise Song' is a great song but besides Monkees fans I 'm not sure the general public would know it. Dolenz has a fantastic, distinctive voice so people may recognize his singing. Written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King it only reached #62 on the charts.

But WOW! What a great selection. Whoever chose that song really did a great job.

The song was also featured prominently in the Tom Cruise film "Vanilla Sky"...

I'm surprised there's no post about I Just Wasn't Made for these Times being on season 5, I myself just saw the clip last week, it was amazing! They use it in an LSD experiment....I've never seen the show before, but I loved the clip: http://youtu.be/GpWlKCfSPcU


I'm sorry if this is a repeat post but I tried looking under Mad Men IJWMFTT or Mad Men I just wasn't made for these times but all I saw were results that had the letters mad and men within other words, no Mad Men posts except this one.

  Yes, one of their finest singles. Yes had a segment on CLOSE TO THE EDGE that sounded similar to my ears.
