abstract	%22Mister Pleasant%22 (usually spelled as Mr. Pleasant) is a song recorded by British rock group The Kinks in 1967, written by Ray Davies. It was released as a single in the US and mainland Europe but not in the UK. It was released in the UK six months later as the B-side to %22Autumn Almanac%22. The song is now available as a bonus track to their album Face to Face, and an alternate version was also released as a bonus track on the 2011 deluxe reissue of Something Else by the Kinks.%22Mister Pleasant%22 is lyrically somewhat similar to the earlier track %22A Well Respected Man%22, as it satirizes the heedless complacency of a nouveau riche who, for all his newfound worldly success, is but a foolish cuckold. Musically, the song has strong English Music Hall influences and a %22trad jazz%22 backing that features a trombone and ragtime-style piano (played by Nicky Hopkins). Due to the Kinks' absence from American touring and the single's noncommercial sound, %22Mister Pleasant%22 did not fare well in the US, only managing a peak of number 80—their poorest showing since %22See My Friends%22 failed to reach the Hot 100 in 1965—despite being tapped as likely Top 20 material by Billboard magazine. The publication characterized it as a %22clever novelty%22 piece, which %22should skyrocket the group back up to the top of Hot 100 once again.%22 %22Mr. Pleasant%22 was much more successful in Europe, particularly the Netherlands (where it reached number 2) and Belgium (number 3).
