Song spotlight: “Can You Dig It?” (Tork); photos from the set of Head (1968).

"'Can You Dig It' is about the Tao. The hook line I wrote in my dressing room on the set [of the television series in 1967]. The chords for the chorus I’d written in college, and [they] had just stuck with me. I hadn’t been able to do a thing with them until I was sittin’ there, just writin’ on a scrap of paper with ideas, and I wrote, 'Can you dig it?/Do you know/Would you care to let it show?’ Those three as a triplet — as opposed to a couplet. I just looked at them and [went], 'Wow!’ I grabbed a pencil and circled those three. They were part of a quatrain. I said, ‘Wait a minute. No, this works best as a little three-line chorus.'" - Peter Tork, Head box set liner notes

"I think they’re ['Can You Dig It?’ and 'Long Title: Do I Have To Do This All Over Again?'] the best songs in the movie [Head]. I love both of them. I thought they were just terrific. He had plugged himself into that whole Stephen Stills connection and was working with those guys. I think they fit the movie better than anything did. When those two songs start up in the movie, it comes alive for me." - Michael Nesmith, Head box set liner notes

“This started as a set of changes I wrote in college and didn’t know what to do with. Then one afternoon on the set of the Monkees we were making the TV show and I had my guitar in my dressing room. The basic lyrics came to me and these changes I had stored in the back of my brain spring forth and dictated that kind of vaguely Spanish/North African harmonic sense. I was writing about the great unknown source of all. It was perfect for the Head soundtrack.” - Peter Tork, Rolling Stone, August 23, 2016

“When I recorded ‘Can You Dig It,’ the guitar solo originally ran about three or four minutes all by itself. We cut that back to a minute and a half. Bob Rafelson took a pair of scissors and snipped off the end of it. He didn’t ask me to shorten it, which I would have been glad to do. He just chopped it off. Son of a bitch! I have a lot of gripes about that, but that’s neither here nor there.” - Peter Tork, Blitz!, May/June 1980

“Dewey Martin, Buffalo Springfield’s drummer. He was also a very good drummer. I was really impressed with him. In the Monkees movie Head, ‘Long Title’ and ‘Can You Dig It,’ he’s on both of those cuts. He’s the drummer on both of those, for the most part. Actually, I think it’s ‘Can You Dig It,’ it involves a lot of playing around on the toms, and I had Dewey take the snares off of his snare to make it into another tom, and he said, ‘I can’t get the snare back on in time to play the backbeats,’ and I said, ‘Nevermind, play the backbeats on the tom and I’ll overdub the snare afterwards.’ And I overdubbed the snare myself, so that’s me playing snare. But all the running around on the toms and the rest of it, that’s Dewey.” - Peter Tork, 2007, published by Rolling Stone in 2019 (x)

"When we (Buffalo Springfield) got to our first recording session and started to cut some songs, a voice came over the talk-back saying, 'No, that's too long. Play it faster.' Neil and I decided we better learn how to work this shit ourselves and it was a race to see who could learn the most about making records." -Stephen Stills via Facebook
