The Monkees single Last Train to Clarksville reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, November 5, 1966.
The song is about a man calling his love to meet him at the train station because he is leaving and might never come home. Although not specifically referenced, it is a subtle protest of the Vietnam War.
Micky Dolenz, the drummer for the band, sang the lead vocals. The rest, Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork and Davy Jones provided back up.
