It was the group 's only # 1 hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Phillips said that he wrote the song quickly, in about 20 minutes. The song includes a false ending, when there is a pause before the coda of the song, and goes up a half note for the bridges and refrains of the song. It was the second consecutive # 1 hit song in the U.S. to contain a false ending, succeeding `` Good Lovin ' '' by the Young Rascals, and the first time this novelty had occurred between consecutive # 1 hits. On March 2, 1967, The Mamas & the Papas won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for this song. The song was performed at the Monterey Pop Festival ( California ) in 1967. The performance was filmed for the movie of the festival but not included in the final print. The song appears on the soundtrack of Michael Apted 's film Stardust.
