* DuelingWorks: To a certain extent with ''Film/MagicalMysteryTour'', both being plotless surreal musical comedies starring a popular rock band. ''Head'''s initial screenplay draft (back when it was still called ''Changes'') was submitted in mid-December of 1967, just before ''MMT'' debuted. Davy Jones actually saw the original broadcast of ''MMT'' while visiting his family in England for Christmas.

** Michael was also originally supposed to do the song-and-dance number, with his song "Magnolia Simms" (from ''The Birds, The Bees and The Monkees'') actually mentioned by name in the first draft of the script for the scene. Then Michael later recommended Music/HarryNilsson's "Daddy's Song" for the scene to Bob Rafelson, and even recorded a vocal for it, but Rafelson ultimately decided to make the scene a Davy showcase (while keeping the song).
