- 'I'm a Believer' From: 'More of the Monkees' (1967) What better end to a list of Top 10 Monkees Songs than with their biggest and most enduring hit? "I'm a Believer" sat at No. 1 for seven weeks and, along with "Last Train To Clarksville," is the song probably most identified with the Monkees.
- 'Daydream Believer' From: 'The Birds the Bees and the Monkees' (1967) Another No. 1 hit, this time circa 1967 and featuring the sugar-sweet vocals of the dearly departed Davy Jones.
- 'The Porpoise Song' From: 'Head' (1968) Quite simply one of the most beautiful records ever made. Written by King and Gerry Goffin, this surrealistic slice of psychedelia, beautifully sung by Dolenz (with Jones on the high harmonies), was the main theme from Head.
- 'Valleri' From: 'The Birds the Bees and the Monkees' (1968) A Boyce and Hart gem (one of many), and another stellar performance from Davy Jones. This song went through a couple different incarnations and was originally featured in episodes of the TV show during the first season.
Another Boyce & Hart omission was the tender “I’ll Spend My Life With You.” Although the song was passed over for More Of The Monkees, Mike, Davy, Micky, and Peter took an immediate shine to the tune, re-recording it to great effect a few months later for their follow-up album, Headquarters.
