Those album covers do sort of have the same vibe though.

Not necessarily direct inspiration (i.e. Paperback Writer/Last Train To Clarksville) but rather what "vibe" the Monkees (Or rather Boyce/Hart and the Wrecking Crew, if you're gonna be that way about it) were going for?

I nominate two...

"I'm Looking Through You"

"Run For Your Life"
