Well,
I remember the group and several of their songs, but
I have never heard that one, and
I do not care to ever hear it again.

It’s hard to listen to that song as performed.
Usually, Mick Dolenz was not the lead singer.
This shows why.
The song is written like a jazzy scat melody.
Picture Sammy Davis Jr. cutting loose with this one. Groovy Dance moves as well.

You need somebody with a strong and octave-flexible voice to carry that weight, so to speak. Davy could have done it justice. Mickey is a bit overwhelmed by the flow.
Like trying to sing “Supercalifragilistic” for 16 bars, nonstop.
