    For the record, it was the Monkees version.

    Oh I could hide 'neath the wings
    Of the bluebird as she sings
    The six o'clock alarm would never ring
    But it rings and I rise
    Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
    My shaving razor's cold and it stings

    Cheer up sleepy Jean
    Oh what can it mean
    To a daydream believer
    And a homecoming queen

    You once thought of me
    As a white knight on his steed
    Now you know how happy I can be
    Whoa, and our good times start and end
    Without dollar one to spend
    But how much, baby, do we really need

    Cheer up sleepy Jean
    Oh what can it mean
    To a daydream believer
    And a homecoming queen

    Cheer up sleepy Jean
    Oh what can it mean
    To a daydream believer
    And a homecoming queen

    Axl Rose stole Davy Jones' vertical snake dance move from that video.

    Spnited, this one's for you!

    Take the last train to Clarksville,
    And I'll meet you at the station,
    You can be here by four-thirty,
    'Cause I've made your reservation, don't be slow,
    Oh, no, no, no,
    Oh, no, no, no.

    'Cause I'm leaving in the morning,
    And I must see you again,
    We'll have one more night together
    'Til the morning brings my train and I must go,
    Oh, no, no, no,
    Oh, no, no, no,
    And I don't know if I'm ever coming home.

    Take the last train to Clarksville,
    I'll be waiting at the station,
    We'll have time for coffee-flavored kisses,
    And a bit of conversation, oh,
    Oh, no, no, no,
    Oh, no, no, no.

    Da-da-da-da-da-da,

    Take the last train to Clarksville,
    Now, I must hang up the phone,
    I can't hear you in this noisy railroad station,
    All alone, I'm feeling low.
    Oh, no, no, no,
    Oh, no, no, no,
    And I don't know if I'm ever coming home.

    Oh...

    Take the last train to Clarksville,
    And I'll meet you at the station,
    You can be here by four-thirty,
    'Cause I've made your reservation, don't be slow,
    Oh, no, no, no,
    Oh, no, no, no,
    And I don't know if I'm ever coming home.

    Take the last train to Clarksville,
    Take the last train to Clarksville,
    Take the last train to Clarksville,
    Take the last train to Clarksville.

    That's OK. I have the Reese Witherspoon thread in here with me.

    Gutter deserves to be grounded for life for that move...especially on top of the Vikes sucking sooo badly tonight

    Now, Rosie, we need some this one about a little neighborhood in New Jersey:


    The local rock group down the street
    Is trying hard to learn their song
    Seranade the weekend squire, who just came out to mow his lawn

    Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
    Charcoal burning everywhere
    Rows of houses that are all the same
    And no one seems to care

    See Mrs. Gray she's proud today because her roses are in bloom
    Mr. Green he's so serene, he's got a T.V. in every room

    Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
    Here in status symbol land
    Mothers complain about how hard life is
    And the kids just don't understand

    Creature comfort goals
    They only numb my soul and make it hard for me to see
    My thoughts all seem to stray, to places far away
    I need a change of scenery

    Ta ta ta...

    Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
    Charcoal burning everywhere
    Another Pleasant Valley Sunday
    Here in status symbol land

    Another Pleasant Valley Sunday...

    Here's a cut off the Monkees' self-titled album released in 1966, and this song goes out to all you Vikings fans...

    I guess I should have stayed in bed
    My pillow wrapped around my head
    Instead of waking up to find
    A nightmare of a different kind
    She went away
    This just doesn't seem to be my day

    She didn't have to say a lot
    Her pretty eyes revealed the plot
    T'was someone else she wanted more
    And so I walked her to the door
    What could I say?
    This just doesn't seem to be my day

    My, oh my
    (Oh my, oh my, oh my)
    How sad am I
    (How sad am I)
    How I wish she would have stayed
    (Wish she would have stayed)
    This just doesn't seem to be my day

    My whole world is upside down
    She turned my smile into a frown
    It's such a pity, the shape I'm in
    I must get on my feet again
    Can't stay this way
    This just doesn't seem to be my day

    My, oh my
    (Oh my, oh my, oh my)
    How sad am I
    (How sad am I)
    How I wish she would have stayed
    (Wish she would have stayed)
    This just doesn't seem to be my day

    I guess I should have stayed in bed
    My pillow wrapped around my head
    Instead of waking up to find
    A nightmare of a different kind
    She went away
    This just doesn't seem to be my day
