New Featured Unknown/Underrated Song--"Cruisin'" by Michael Nesmith

    Michael Nesmith was the only member of the Monkees to achieve success after the group split.  This is taken from the 1979 album Infinite Rider on the Big Dogma.  It didn't even chart, but it made the Top 10 for those stations that did play it, proving it to be one of The Most Underrated Songs of the Rock Era*.








  • Lucy and Ramona cruisin' thru the jungles of L.A.

  • Hopin' to promote a dream somewhere along the way.

  • (They're) Rollin' thru the streets looking for a disco,

  • Passin' up the treats from a kid named Cisco

  • Trying to make connections

  • With their blemish-free complexions.

  • And just as fate would have it,

  • They ended up with Sunset Sam.

  • Sam was sellin' watches from a suitcase on a TV tray,

  • And Lucy and Ramona were tryin' to figure out if he was gay.

  • The three of them were standing staring at each other,

  • When the light behind their eyes blew each other's cover.

  • The ancient code was branded.

  • And each of them was handed

  • A ticket to their kingdom

  • 'Cause they saw their brother Sunset Sam.

  • Lucy and Ramona and Sunset Sam

  • People on the streets tryin' to find a plan

  • People on the streets lookin' for the land

  • Lucy and Ramona and their brother Sunset Sam

  • Lucy was from Compton and she met Ramona at a zoo.

  • Ramona was from Brooklyn, but she left when she was twenty-two.

  • Sam was a native of the Arizona desert

  • But he split when he was slated for some governmental make-work.

  • Their differences subsided when the common bond was sighted:

  • They were all from the same place

  • That made the famous Sunset Sam.

  • Lucy and Ramona and Sunset Sam

  • People on the streets tryin' to find a plan

  • People on the streets lookin' for the land

  • Lucy and Ramona and their brother Sunset Sam

  • (Yes it is) Lucy and Ramona and Sunset Sam

  • People on the streets tryin' to find a plan

  • People on the streets just lookin' for the land

  • Lucy and Ramona and their brother Sunset Sam
