Last Train to Clarksville "Last Train to Clarksville" was the debut single by The Monkees.

End of the Line (Traveling Wilburys song) "End of the Line" is the last track from the Traveling Wilburys' first album, Volume 1, released in 1988. It was also issued as the band's second single, in January 1989. The song's riding-on-the-rails rhythm suggests its theme and the on-the-move nature of the group. It features all the Wilburys (excluding Bob Dylan, who was on tour at the time) as lead singers; George Harrison, Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison sing the choruses in turn, while Tom Petty sings the verses. The song was mainly written by Harrison and was assigned to his publishing company.[2] In keeping with the collaborative concept behind the Wilburys project, however, all five members received a songwriting credit.[3]
