Headquarters sessions, 1967.

“I have been working at the Recording Studios just recently with the other boys, cutting our new single Pleasant Valley Sunday and Words. The sessions have been great, and so much so that on one day our Recording Engineer, Hank Cicalo gifted us all… they turned out to be very gassy looking water-pistols. Naturally, we immediately put them to use, and the sessions turned into cold, or should I say ‘wet’ warfare! Instrumentally, I can’t say it helped the record one iota, but we certainly added some extra vitality to the potted plants, and also gave the partition window between the studio and the engineer’s booth an added gleam… [...] Please stay happy for me… 
Love and peace, Peter Tork” - Fabulous 208, July 15, 1967

90. Pleasant Valley Sunday by The Monkees debuted Jul 67 and peaked at number three, scoring 830 points.

The Monkees' first 11 chart entries all made the top 40, through 1968. Their only other top 40 was their 1986 reunion, That Was Then, This Is Now. The song peaked at number 20 and was first credited to Mickey Dolenz and Peter Tork (of The Monkees).

Say what you may, about The Monkees, but you can't commend their management and production, enough, for getting some great proto-garage/proto-punk tunes in their catalog.

I think that's what's given them staying power.

"Pleasant Valley Sunday" - absolutely brilliant piece of satire, worthy of Jello Biafra.
