The Monkees - Porpoise Song (Vocal Demo - Micky w/ Carole King Guide Vocal)

Written by Carole King & Gerry Goffin. This is Micky's demo vocal with Carole King singing a guide vocal in the same key. Noticeably different from all other mixes is the vocal by Davy Jones on the chorus. Although this is the earliest take, it still shows Micky's incredible vocal prowess! The video features rare outtake footage from "Head"!
