“Cuddly Toy” – The Monkees
... from the album Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. |

| |
You're not only cuddly toy
That was ever enjoyed by any boy;
You're not the only choo-choo train
That was left out in the rain
The day after Santa came.

Album Review: "Cuddly Toy" was a nice little ditty that was penned by a then-unknown Harry Nilsson and performed by the then-very-popular Monkees. It was included on their smash-hit album Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. from 1967. Though the faux-fab frenzy over the four simian made-for-TV boy-toys had quieted down a bit by then, their musical expression and popularity were still rising, and this album found them writing and playing very good, very grown-up-sounding songs. The big hits off the album were "Pleasant Valley Sunday" and "Words"; other great tracks included the melodic cautionary tale "The Door Into Summer," the hypnotic "Love Is Only Sleeping" and the all-out psychedelic pop treat "Daily Nightly." With this album, the Monkees completely erased any previous stigma that they were not a real band.
