Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The rock group The Standells appear as themselves in this episode. Seeking refuge from their mobs of squealing fans, the Standells arrange to rent the Munster mansion, while the Munsters themselves move to a fancy hotel. Disappointed that their new surroundings aren't up to their exacting standards (for one thing, there's no dust on the furniture), the family heads back to their own home--and a memorable confrontation with a bunch of bearded beatniks, among them future filmmaker Zalman King (The Red Shoe Diaries). The Standells perform "Everybody Ringo" and also the Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand", while series star Yvonne DeCarlo (Lily) sings "He's Gone Away".
