decisions, decisions... to stick with Motown Monday or sample '67.
Well OK: '67 sets are short anyway. Bring me some psychedelia!

Stevie was made to please her -- y'know Stevie ain't gon' leave her.
OMG! "Let it ALL Hang Out"! BOS!
No parkin' by the sewer sign
Hot dog, my razor's broke
Water drippin' up the spout
But I don't care, let it all hang out
Hangin' from a pine tree by my knees
Sun is shinin' through the shade
Nobody knows what it's all about,
It's too much, man, let it all hang out
Saw a man walkin' upside down
My T.V.'s on the blink
Made Galileo look like a Boy Scout
Sorry 'bout that, let it all hang out
Sleep all day, drive all night
Brain my numb, can't stop now
For sure ain't no doubt
Keep an open mind, let it all hang out
It's rainin' inside a big brown moon
How does that mess you baby up, leg
Eatin' a Reuben sandwich with sauerkraut
Don't stop now, baby, let it all hang out
BTW Bob, Mission: Impossible premiered in Sept of '66...

Hello Goodbye, one of those non-holiday songs I always associate with Xmas since it was #1 for the entire month of December.

they dig -- ho ho! -- Rock'n'Roll Music. Even tho' they clearly don't listen to any...
OMGWTF! Monkees, "Mary Mary"... Proxy Gaz-O-S.

BOS4 Rascals, "I Been Lonely Too Long"

oh the musical parodies are quite clever. I was referencing the oft-stated opinion (and we've discussed this here before) that IDRnRM is one of the wimpiest songs ever written about "Rock".

Whether you like the song or not (I do) I was simply reacting to the assertion that they didn't listen to any. That's a metaphysical stretch to say that!

They definitely listened to it. Where I diverge from most of you is that I've always thought they were singing *in contempt of* it.

Gaz is right - of this there can be no doubt.
Although by the time this song became a hit, their criticism of rock was off target. Rock 'n' roll had changed (thanks to Dylan) and was becoming politically relevant, and the demarcation between Folk & Rock musically was blurring (thanks again to Dylan, his proteges the Byrds, and even the Mamas & Papas, which they even tacitly admit in the lyrics). I think this song was the final salvo in the Folk vs. Rock argument, and Rock won without having to fire back.

Indeed. Brilliantly stated, in fact.

First off, saying "of this there can be no doubt" is a big red flag to me. Of course there's doubt. I think the song was a tongue-in-cheek satire on rock fans, not rock itself. That's a pretty big difference of opinion. All in all, it's pretty playful, and 'contempt' is the last thing I hear. They were probably even poking a little fun at themselves, as soon-to-be-extinct folk dinosaurs.
But, to quote T. S. Eliot:
Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future,
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.
What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation.
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.
Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden. My words echo
Thus, in your mind.
But to what purpose
Disturbing the dust on a bowl of rose-leaves
I do not know.
