Trivia

The yoked, gathered brown shirt with white polka dots worn by "director" Kramm and by Peter in the video of "Valleri" is identical to the shirt worn by Bob Dylan a decade later in the film The Last Waltz. The open-collared blue shirt worn by Kramm is also worn by Davy in the "Valleri" video and in other Monkee's episodes.
