When I was in the third grade, back at Carver Elemetary School in Long Beach, sometime in the mid 1960's, a controversy raged between 9-year old girls and 9-year old boys as to which band was "better", the Beatles or the Monkees.
What "better" meant may never be known, but the dividing line was 100% clear... girls chose the Monkees and boys were left with the Beatles. As I recall, the arguments went somethng along the lines of ".. is so" .... "is not"... and repeated.... History has proved one of the two sides correct.
For the record, I was for the Beatles, but what does the opinion of 9-year old me matter today?
Now, I'll get to the point. The Monkees at least did me the favor of putting my name in one of their songs.... albeit not a song of much passing value.
My first name is Bill and my last, Lever, rhymes with "fever"... So put the parts together and "I'm a B Lever"... "I couldn't leave her, if I tried".....
If you haven't heard it.. don't bother looking for it. If you do, it's your own fault.
