He, in particular, wanted his songs featured on Monkees singles, at least as B-sides. Early in 1967, the band recorded two songs for selection as their next single: "All of Your Toys" and a remake of "The Girl I Knew Somewhere", both with Micky Dolenz on lead vocals. With Diamond's "I'm a Believer" already a hit (that would prove to be the group's biggest, and the biggest-selling single in the U.S. that year), Kirshner gave Diamond first shot at writing a followup, and turned a deaf ear to the group's efforts.
