About "I'm a Believer" by Count Dee's Hit Explosion
The Monkees' hit becomes a cover-band's reliable closer. Count Dee's 'I'm a Believer' is pure jukebox efficiency—the Neil Diamond-penned hook delivered with a wink and a shuffle. The tension is absent; this is belief as muscle memory, a crowd-pleaser that asks nothing and gives a pleasant, empty sugar rush.
