In this episode Bobo falls in love with guest supermodel Cindy Crawford and goes into a “60s Retro Montage Fantasy”. He begins singing “I’m a Believer” and is soon joined by Micky Dolenz who helps him finish the song.
This aired as episode 5 of Season One in 1996 – ten years after the massive success of the 20th anniversary reunion concert tour and five years before Donkey sand the song on Shrek. Solid proof of the place The Monkees have held in popular culture across the decades.
