Martin Van Buren would be proud,wink wink! As the answer to the question that sends Peter to a life time contract at Rolando's Dance A Go-Go.
This classic epiosde works in many ways,some really funny examples of the craziness the show is known for,as Micky goes off stage to talk to the writers.
The musical number "I'll Be Back On My Feet",happens to be reworked and put on a later album,this is where we see The Monkees in various ways of dancing.

AIRED:
In answering a trivia contest with the right answer, Peter "wins" a free dance lesson, only to sign a lifetime contract that threatens to drain his finances for the rest of his life.
The Monkees attempt to get Peter's contract voided, only to end up signing contracts themselves. The only answer is to cause so much havoc at the dance studio, the owner will tear up the papers.
Monkee music includes I'll Be Back Up On My Feet and I'm A Believer.moreless
