Steve just gave a few hints to what's in store.  Apparently we're getting some Monkees as well as the Mamas and Papas doing Motown (thus either "My Girl" or "Dancing in the Streets").  Should be sweetness.

Early BOS to the morse code guitars of "You Keep Me Hanging On."  Perhaps Motown's most ambitious moment of the '60s save "Reach Out, I'll Be There."

When he's substituting his coke for gin, is he talking about the Real Thing or the White Lines?

BOS2 the Spoonful, longtime personal faves.  Sebastian's first solo LP from 1970 is a lost gem, BTW.

WOS to the Lovin' Spoonful.  I love a lot of their stuff, but actively hate "Daydream" and "Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind."

Shimmy ya, Cass!  Love the wiggy funk of this.  Did they arrange their own backing vocals or was that Lou Adler's contribution to the mix?

WOS the M's & P's, worst (and most unnecessary) cover of the song this side of Jagger/Bowie.

I thought John Phillips arranged their vocals in general, but I don't really know.
