in the episodes "Everywhere a Sheik, Sheik", and "I Was a 99-Pound Weakling" The mix presented here does not have a fade, while appearances on compilation albums do. Recorded at RCA Victor Studios, Hollywood, April 26, 1967 "Words" Written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart Lead vocals by Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork Backing vocals: Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith Electric guitar: Michael Nesmith Bass: Peter Tork is credited by Andrew Sandoval in the accompanying 'liner notes' booklet for the Monkees'1991 Boxed Set, 'Listen to the Band'. Sandoval is on record as having had retrieved Musician's Union files in Los Angeles so as to provide specific & thorough details of Monkees' recording sessions, including all session dates and all musicians. Chip Douglas is frequently listed as bass player for this track, but in interviews hasn't confirmed his playing on this song. Drums: Eddie Hoh Percussion: Michael Nesmith Chimes: Davy Jones Tree: Davy Jones Hammond B-3 Organ: Peter Tork Originally recorded for More of The Monkees in August 1966, but re-recorded for this album under the group's direction In the music video, Tork plays the guitar, Nesmith plays the bass, Jones plays the drums and Dolenz sings and plays the tambourine. The band said that this lineup is what The Monkees should have been, as these instrument choices best represented the individual members' strengths (Nesmith believed Tork was a better guitarist than he, while Nesmith himself was particularly accomplished as a bass guitarist. Jones was the only member of The Monkees who already knew how to play the drums). But, Nesmith played the guitar and Tork played the organ, Jones played the chimes, with Chip Douglas playing bass and "Fast" Eddie Hoh on the drums. Reached number 11 on the pop charts This version used in summer 1967 rebroadcast of the episodes "Monkees in a Ghost Town" and "Monkees Chow Mein"; then used in the second-season episodes "Monkees in Texas" and "Monkees' Paw" while the original version was used in the episode "Monkees in Manhattan" The single mix is not the album mix. Dolenz says "ah" twice on the single mix.
