  • Don't call on me
    When you're feeling footloose and fancy-free
    You've done that before
    And like a fool I came back for more

    It's all over now
    I've finally seen my way
    I need you no more
    Not now or any other day

    Okay, little girl, live for yourself
    In your own little world
    I know that you'll find
    Someone who'll play and love you

    Be just your kind, be just your kind
    Be just your kind, be just your kind Writer/s: JOHN LONDON, MICHAEL NESMITH

  • Stephanie Stavropoulos from CaThe Pump Room was not a ficticious place!! It was/is located at 1301 North State Parkway, Chicago Illinois.
  • Jim "woody" Woods from Long BeachForgive me. No flame please, but I honestly can't tell who is singing this. It doesn't have the twank of Mike, but it's too soft for Mickey or Peter, and doesn't sound like Davy either. Anybody?
  • Jennifur SunThank you Mike for what will always be my fav Monkees tune. So pretty.
  • Connee from Chestertown, MdTo Olivia of Philadelphia -- I posed the question to Peter Tork on his Facebook page. This was his staff's reply: "It's not a black eye. It's like a temporary tattoo they used to wear in the 60s. If you notice, he has one on his right hand in Pleasant Valley Sunday."

  • Esskayess from Dallas, TxYou hear Peter say, "Check, please!" as it fades out.
  • Olivia from Philadelphia, PaIn the "What am I Doing Hanging Round" video, why does Peter have a black eye?
  • George from Belleville, NjWhat a haunting beautiful ballad.I love the melody and chord changes.The lyrics are good too.All around a really good listening experience.
  • Sean from Chicago, IlOh...speaking of recording in Chicago...it's pretty well known among Monkees fans that the "rainbow" films et al -- "Daydream Believer," "No Time," "She Hangs Out," "Salesman," "What Am I Doin' Hangin' Round," "Love Is Only Sleeping,' "The Door Into Summer," "Randy Scouse Git", and "Pleasant Valley Sunday" (am I forgetting any?) -- were filmed in Chicago. Well, what I just found out was that the studio where they did the films for those songs (I hestitate to call them "music videos" because they weren't called that then) is now known as Harpo Studios!
  • Larry from Coral Springs, FlNice slow song with feeling
