And just found this on the Monkees FAQ -

24. Micky's song Randy Scouse Git had to be released in England as
Alternate Title, why?
Well while Micky was in England he heard those words and made them the title of his song. Unfortunately he did not realize that in England this is considered to be an insult. To be more precise: "randy" means horny "scouse" is a derogatory way of referring to a working-class Liverpudlian "git" is an idiot. When asked to provide an alternate title for the song in England he did just that.

Dunno if I believe this answer though. If Micky did hear it in England it could well have been on 'To death do us part' in which case no-one would have objected to the title at the beeb!

Perhaps it was Alternate title because 'Randy Scouse Git' had no significance at all in the states?

What title was actualy used in the States, brother catters?
