Lazy Sunday Afternoon by The Small Faces
“Marriott was dead set against this ever becoming a single - he thought it would colour his band badly and frustrate them in their attempts to be treated as a serious artistic force. It was originally written a slow bluesy song. Marriott wrote it as an album track, a piss-take, as he had had an argument with The Hollies about never singing in his own voice. So he sang this in an exaggerated Cockney voice to prove a point. It was a novelty song but in his view "we were stuck with it". Of course, it became one of the most recognisable songs in the SF's canon. Enjoy.”

Lovely morning of football and ice cream in the park with my two-year-old... happy Father's Day!
