Head (1968)

After Micky (Micky Dolenz, R) jumps of a bridge, the picture becomes pseudo-solarized and to the sweet tunes of Gerry Goffin and Carole King's Porpoise Song, he meets a siren (actress unknown, L). DP: Michel Hugo.

“Clicks, clacks, riding the backs of giraffes for laughs, S'alright for a while, The ego sings of castles and kings, And things that go with a life of style, Wanting to feel, to know what is real, Living is a, is a lie”

– The Monkees, Porpoise Song (1968)
