watso used to like monkeys song - "a pleasant valley sunday" - but had no idea about the meaning of the song..
"
Pleasant Valley Sunday" is a
song by
Gerry Goffin and
Carole King, most famous for the version recorded by
The Monkees in 1967. Goffin's and King's inspiration for the name was a street named Pleasant Valley Way, in
West Orange, New Jersey where they were living at the time.
[3] The road follows a valley through several communities among the
Watchung Mountains. The lyrics were a
social commentary on
status symbols,
creature comforts, life in
suburbia and "
keeping up with the Joneses".
