Peter Tork - "Long Title: Do I Have To Do This All Over Again?" (acoustic demo)

Peter's acoustic demo of his song "Long Title: Do I Have To Do This All Over Again?" (the song, of course, was ultimately officially released on the soundtrack to The Monkees' 1968 movie, Head). Recorded in January 1968; produced by Peter. The first photo in this video is by Nurit Wilde; the second is Peter's handwritten acetate, “Peter Tork's efforts” (with the completed “Long Title…” listed).
“The funny thing is that the lyrics [to ‘Long Title: Do I Have To Do This All Over Again?’] came to me right out of the air. I was just playing those chord changes on the guitar, and I opened my mouth and that’s what popped out. The song was weirdly prophetic. I had no idea that was going to be my attitude about anything having to do with music when I wrote that song. I wrote the lyrics in London on that famous trip with Karen Harvey Hammer and Justin Hammer, who are Lady and Baby respectively of the song ‘Lady’s Baby.’” - Peter, Listen To The Band liner notes
