Song of the Day: Last Train to Clarksville
Declan Chellar October 15th, 2006
Performer: The Monkees
Composer: Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart
Year: 1966
Why I like it: Gotta love that jangly guitar.
Trivia: Despite the bubble-gum tune, this is actually a song protesting the Vietnam War. The protagonist of the song has been drafted and wants to meet his girlfriend one last time before he is sent off to war.
