The Monkees have enlisted a new collaborator for their upcoming new album--Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo.

The track is titled "She Makes Me Laugh" and will be included on the Monkees 50th Anniversary release Good Times!

Cuomo broke news of the release earlier this month.

"I'm super stoked to be writing a song for the Monkees," says Cuomo.

"I've always identified with their musical aesthetic - the chord changes and melodies."

"I've always felt a personal connection to the Monkees because I'm from the same small New England farm town as Peter Tork," he writes in the album's liner notes.

"I used to hear that one of the Monkees went to my high school, which was an amazing fact to me because it was such a small school out in the middle of nowhere.

It gave me the feeling that if an E.O. Smith kid made it to the top once, it can happen again.

So let that be an inspiration to you E.O. Smith kids now, maybe 30 years into the future you'll be writing a song for a new Weezer album."
