This video was originally produced for "The Couch". The concept was to have four guys lip sing the Monkees theme song and then act foolish all over campus. This idea was done for the opening credit to an original Monkees episode, but other projects surfaced and only this video was produced.

This video is quite unique in that it showcases the campus of Salisbury State University well. The guys in the group concentrated on areas which raised concern with the students. For example in the video the group makes a mockery out of the many statues on campus. The belief is that the statues cost to much money and that the money could have been used for something more positive.

This clip aired multiple times and has gained a cult status on campus. The actors would regularly be approached by other members of the student body to comment on the video.
