This is a song written by Michael Nesmith in 1965 and became popular in 1967 when recorded by the Stone Poneys featuring Linda Ronstadt.
The song is slightly awkward yet brilliant, like most of Mike Nesmith's songs. Ronstadt kicks ass on this song with her stylizing. Stone Poneys is a great name for a band, up there with the Grateful Dead, these names spread fear and panic through parents around the world.
This song was written as a man but Ronstadt changed that but still used the word "pretty" which is a genius move which sort of fits rule 3 related to older phrasing. Soon I will publish my rules for hit songs, once I finish editing it.
