Mike Nesmith and Frank Zappa on "The Monkees"

This is remarkable - Nesmith (complete with fake nose) and Zappa (in 8-button shirt and knit cap) pretend to be each other - and even "Zappa" refers to the Monkees' music as "banal and insipid." Inside what would otherwise be commercial crap for public consumption were some clever subversive elements - as evidenced by Zappa's involvement with the Monkees.
