Small Faces - Lazy Sunday..Live BBC Radio.1 / 5

1 / 5 Top Gear 9.4.68
"Lazy Sunday" released in 1968, was a Cockney music-hall style song released by Immediate against the band's wishes, it was written by Steve Marriott as a joke because he was always getting thrown out of his rented accommodation by neighbours complaining about the noise he made. The single reached number 2 in the British charts but the band continued to resent the fact that their sound was being represented by what they saw as a novelty single. Many years later "Lazy Sunday" was to inspire Blur's hit song "Parklife" in 1994.

Kenney - you should have jumped on that coach and played those American clubs. The SFs would have been bigger than the Who in the US if you had gone there and done your thing.

The sound, especially Kenney's interview, is so clear, it could have been recorded earlier today instead of over 40 years ago. Thanks for posting. Don't get to hear too much live stuff of these guys.

No football & cooking for the young lady's of the house. Nice glass of red after half an hour in the Plough, and this came to mind

Thanks to a long suffering neighbour we get a pop classic. Funny old world. She deserves some credit.

This is absolutely priceless. Did they bring their own seagulls?

Re the problem of having a novelty track as your most widely-known work: Jeff Beck knows exactly what you mean (Hi-Ho Silver Lining).
