The

The
Monkees take a crack at the Nilsson song "The Story Of Rock And
Roll". It doesn't really go
anywhere but Producer Chip Douglas will remember the track and bring it to The
Turtles after the "Headquarters" sessions have been completed.
"Oh, That's Good, No, That's Bad," the eighth chart
record by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs, premiered on the Billboard Hot 100 on
March 18, 1967.
The song was written by Dewayne Blackwell. Stan Kesler produced
the session for MGM Records. A female trio called the Sham-Ettes (at times also
spelled Sham-ettes or Shamettes) joined the five Pharaohs on the recording. The
single peaked at No. 54, and remained on the chart for six weeks.
Group leader
Domingo "Sam" Samudio had acquired his "Sam the Sham"
nickname four years earlier, in early 1963, after a band named Andy and the
Night Riders hired him as their keyboard player and thought he had more
experience playing the instrument than he did. "The musicians started
introducing me as Sam the Sham because they knew I couldn't play the organ.
Shamming also refers to cutting up, and I did a lot of that," Sam told authors
Marti Smiley Childs and Jeff March for their first book, "Echoes of the
Sixties."
