The first single released by the Monkees after their TV show was cancelled was also the first to miss the Top 10. Coincidentally, it was also their last single to chart this highly until a 1986 reunion of sorts. It was a pseudo-vaudeville tune about a derelict who turned down a charity’s offer of a meal and a job, preferring his drunken life instead. The more things change...

The flip side, IT'S NICE TO BE WITH YOU, is also noteworthy, if not only for being a pleasant and melodic romantic soft-pop song
...and for being another one featuring Davy Jones on lead vocal.
