"A Watcher's Point of View (Don't 'Cha Think)" is a single by P.M. Dawn that peaked at 44 on Billboard's Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 1991. Song writing credit is given to Attrell Cordes (Prince Be of P.M. Dawn) and Tom Johnston of the Doobie Brothers as the song contains a sample of the Doobie Brothers' "Feelin' Down Farther."

The song references "Pleasant Valley Sunday" by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, and performed by The Monkees in 1967.

Critical reception[]

Steve Huey from AllMusic stated that the song is "surprisingly funky and driving".^[1] Another editor, Hal Horowitz noted "the edgy hip-hop".^[2] Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Rap act deftly intermingles elements of raw hip-hop, Beatles-esque pop, and '70s-era funk. Icing on the cake is intelligent, well-paced rhymes; which makes this simply irresistible. Already hailed by U.K. critics and consumers, cut deserves immediate attention at urban and pop radio."^[3]
