Slicker and English Eyes by Yardley Of London™ took its turn at bat this week to sponsor this segment, which featured the tunes (produced by Michael Nesmith) “Papa Jean’s Blues” & “Mary, Mary”, written by Michael Nesmith, and “Sweet Young Thing”, written by Michael Nesmith, Gerry Goffin & Carole King. Also, the original commercials you would have seen were Slicker by Yardley (:30), Oh de London by Yardley (:30), Kellogg's Corn Flakes with Cowboy and Son (1:00) and English Eyes by Yardley (1:00).

The sponsor of the week was Yardley Of London, and the song heard was "Goin' Down" written by Diane Hilderbrand, Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork, Micky Dolenz & David Jones and produced by Chip Douglas.
Trivia Footnote: Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In premiered directly after the firstrun telecast of "The Monstrous Monkee Mash" on NBC. Monkees writer Coslough Johnson is the brother of Laugh-In regular Arte Johnson. David Panich, one of the writers of "The Monstrous Monkee Mash", was also a celebrated member of Laugh-In's writing staff. David Jones was later seen in a February 10, 1969 episode of Laugh-In (in which he plays Romeo to JoAnne Worley's Juliet in a Valentine's Day sketch), and The Monkees (sans departed Peter Tork) guested in an October 6, 1969 episode of the series (in which they portrayed Spirits Of '76, medieval knights, and salesmen), their last nationally televised appearance together as a group during their original hey-heyday.
