Sunday Songs on Monday


Just teasing.
You are not getting Pleasant Valley Sunday be The Monkees as this has previously featured. No rather you are getting the cover version by the boy Gedge.
Now I'm not really a betting man but I am willing to wager a small sum that The Wedding Present and Daniel Boone have rarely, if ever, featured together on the same post.
For  reasons that I have never been able to fathom Beautiful Sunday by Daniel Boone is a particular favourite of Dundee United fans. So this is for the Shed Boys.
I think I may be able to stretch this out for one more week. You have been warned

The Wedding Present - Pleasant Valley Sunday

Daniel Boone - Beautiful Sunday

  1. Cheers for these. 'Pleasant Valley Sunday' is one of those classics that will live forever. 'Beautiful Sunday', whilst, perhaps, not a classic, evokes a certain time. Was it about '72? Listening to the chart countdown on a summer day in tank top and sta-prest. Take me back.

  2. Ah, I just can't hear 'Beautiful Sunday' without thinking of Jack and Victor dancing, and Isa joining in.... I'm sure you'll know the scene I'm talking about from Still Game!
