The theme song to The Monkees, "(Theme from) The Monkees" (released as the single in some countries in 1967), is one of the group's most well known songs. The line "We're the young generation, and we've got somethin' to say" reflected the new youth counterculture and their desire to give their own opinions on world events and choosing how to live their own lives instead of abiding by the traditions and beliefs of their elders.
