Lazing On A Sunny Afternoon

Well, it’s sunny hear in Campbeltown! And I’m reflecting on my favourite sunny day song of all time, by The Kinks. 

What an intro. That descending bass riff. Whoa! I’m pouring a rum and coke (on the rocks!) as soon as I hear it, and it’s not even my kind of drink.  

And then you get the best lyric ever written about the "struggles"  of being a successful  pop star, back in the day when songs made humongous mountains of money. For somebody, if not necessarily the writers of the songs. Plus ca change! 

Enjoy.
