This article does not contain cites for most of the information. The riffs to both songs are pretty simple and I find it hard to believe that Mike Nesmith can no longer play them, even if he hasn't played in a long time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.124.149.222 ( talk) 19:47, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
This song does not appear to be an American version of Penny Lane. One is about nostalgia and childhood reminiscences, the other about suburbia and herd mentality. Their only similarity is that they are about places, in which case you could just as well say this song is the American counterpart of Waterloo Sunset or Itchycoo Park. As such, I have removed the sentence: "The song may be seen as an American counterpart to Penny Lane". Feel free to reinstate when accompanied by a respected source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guyburns ( talk • contribs) 04:24, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
Was the song written for the Monkees, or did anyone else record it before them ? -- Beardo ( talk) 01:15, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
There are a couple of problems with the "Interpretation of lyrics" section that make its relevance questionable.
In general, any interpretation of lyrics is only relevant if made by the song's author(s). Phil Champ ( talk) 08:30, 21 June 2018 (UTC))
Have removed the following section:
“ | However this testimony needs to be treated with a degree of caution and it would be interesting to know if the surviving co-writer, ie Carole King, agrees with this seemingly perverse interpretation. | ” |
If anyone can work it into an encylopedic and referenced quote then the result can go back into the article. Until then, POV original analysis like this has no place on Wikipedia. 2.24.71.30 ( talk) 20:04, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
