A fascinating exercise in cross-dressing, late-1960s' style, "Some Like It Lukewarm" finds the Monkees entering yet another band contest. Discovering that all the contestants must be mixed-gender groups, the boys decide to add a female member to their aggregation through the simple expedient of disguising Davy as a girl. Complications ensue when an all-girl group comes up with the same notion, disguising their lead singer Daphne as a male named William McCochrane. Deana Martin, daughter of Dean Martin, plays Daphne, while radio DJ and rock impresario Jerry Blavat ("The Geator with the Heater") appears as himself. Songs: "The Door Into Summer" and "She Hangs Out". First telecast on March 4, 1968, "Some Like It Lukewarm" was written by Joel Kane and Stanley Z. Cherry.
