Description

(Rated 75% by Rotten Tomatoes !) While the film's music disappointed fans of the band's more traditional pop sound, it features what some critics considered to be some of The Monkees' best recorded work, including contributions by Carole King and Harry Nilsson.

(Rated 75% by Rotten Tomatoes !) While the film's music disappointed fans of the band's more traditional pop sound, it features what some critics considered to be some of The Monkees' best recorded work, including contributions by Carole King and Harry Nilsson. Jack Nicholson compiled the soundtrack album, which approximates the flow of the movie and includes large portions of the dialogue. The film's incidental music was composed and conducted by Ken Thorne. The film's most famous song, "Porpoise Song (Theme from Head)", appeared at the film's start and finish and left viewers feeling they were watching something dreamlike: The editing of the bridge scene and the slow motion was almost meant to feel like a dream. Bright color filters heighten the visual effect and dreamlike touch of the passages, which include mermaids rescuing member Micky Dolenz in the film's start.
The new songs include:
• "Porpoise Song (Theme from Head)" – Gerry Goffin, Carole King
• "Ditty Diego – War Chant" – Bob Rafelson, Jack Nicholson
• "Circle Sky" – Michael Nesmith
• "Can You Dig It" – Peter Tork
• "As We Go Along" – Carole King, Toni Stern
• "Daddy's Song" – Harry Nilsson
• "Long Title: Do I Have to Do This All Over Again?" – Peter Tork
