 * Another song "Sugar, Sugar" which had been recorded by The Archies, is said to have been earlier offered to The Monkees, although songwriter Jeff Barry denies this. Don Kirshner has said that Michael Nesmith put his fist through the wall of the Beverly Hills Hotel refusing to do "Sugar, Sugar". However, Monkees archival expert Andrew Sandoval has suggested that the band may actually instead have been offered the song "Sugar Man", but with the passage of time the parties involved simply mis-remembered it as being "Sugar, Sugar", in large part because it made a better anecdote. Peter Tork claimed in an interview that the band were offered "Sugar, Sugar", despite Jeff Barry's denial of this. A link to the interview can be found here.
