“Randy Scouse Git”, The Monkees

This way: Randy Scouse Git

“Randy Scouse Git” is a song written by Micky Dolenz in 1967 and recorded by The Monkees. It was the first song written by Dolenz to be commercially released, and became a #2 hit in the UK where it was retitled “ Alternate Title” after the record company (RCA) complained that the original title was actually somewhat “Taboo to the British audience”. Dolenz took the song’s title from a phrase he had heard spoken on an episode of the British television series Till Death Us Do Part. Directly translated to, according to Dolenz, "horny, Liverpudlian jerk". According to Dolenz, the song was written about a party that The Beatles threw for the Monkees at the Speakeasy nightclub in London. There are references in the song to the Beatles ("the four kings of EMI") and to other party attendees such as Cass Elliot of The Mamas & the Papas ("the girl in yellow dress") and Dolenz's future wife, Top of the Pops "disc girl" Samantha Juste. It doesn't get much better than this for disposable pop.
