Lyrics: Another pleasant valley Sunday,
They serenade the weekend squire Here in Status Symbol Land. Ahhh...thoughts all seem to stray to places far away, He's got a TV in every room. The local rock group down the street Mothers complain about how hard life is, Ta ta ta ta, ta ta ta ta... (etc.) Another pleasant valley Sunday, Rows of houses that are all the same, Because her roses are in bloom, Another pleasant valley Sunday, (fade out) And the kids just don't understand. Is trying hard to learn their song, by Gerry Goffin & Carole King I need a change of scenery. Who just came out to mow his lawn. (A pleasant valley Sunday) (A pleasant valley Sunday) Charcoal burning everywhere, Another pleasant valley Sunday, And Mr. Green, he's so serene, Charcoal burning everywhere. And no one seems to care. Here in Status Symbol Land, Another pleasant valley Sunday, And make it hard for me to see. See Mrs. Gray, she's proud today Creature comfort goals, they only numb my soul, Another pleasant valley Sunday, |

CommentaryThis version was screened in the UK '79/'80 user does anyone...want more Monkees?? user I swear these lyrics are punk rock 10 years before the time! Singing about people living in excess! user YEP, MORE< MORE, bring them on! user @sixtiesmaniac It was filmed in the sixties. user Always thought this sounded more like an upbeat Simon & Garfunkel than Beatles user The "comedy" show "Friends" had a song intro that sounds just like the intro to this song. user Super cool! user @AarHan3 The Monkees On Tour is the eighth and last in a spate of first-season Monkees episodes with soundtracks which were redubbed twice, following The Royal Flush, Monkee Versus Machine, Your Friendly Neighborhood Kidnappers, The Spy Who Came In From The Cool, The Success Story, I've Got A Little Song Here, and One Man Shy (a.k.a. "Peter And The Debutante"). 8^B user Here's further data: The Monkees On Tour's only Saturday morning repeat @ noon (EST), December 18, 1971 on CBS featured yet another new tune: the heretofore unreleased song "Steam Engine" (replacing Pleasant Valley Sunday). The summer 1967 version continued to air in syndication until the group's 20th anniversary in 1986; the CBS version now runs in syndicated repeats, while Rhino has restored the episode with its original soundtrack intact in 1995. 8^B user Pleasant valley is in upstate NY, between NYC and Canaan Ct, where Carol King lived, wrote Tapestry etc. When She wrote and came through to the city, you can guess the rest by the lyrics Leave your comments: |
