"Sunny Afternoon" is a song by the Kinks, written by chief songwriter Ray Davies. The track later featured on the Face to Face album as well as being the title track for their 1967 compilation album. Like its contemporary "Taxman" by the Beatles, the song references the high levels of progressive tax taken by the British Labour government of Harold Wilson. Its strong music hall flavour and lyrical focus was part of a stylistic departure for the band (begun with 1965's "A Well Respected Man"), which had risen to fame in 1964-65 with a series of hard-driving, power-chord rock hits.
Released as a single on 3 June 1966, it went to No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart on 7 July 1966, remaining there for two weeks. The track also went to No. 1 in Ireland on 14 July 1966. In America, it peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart early autumn 1966. The promotional video for the single featured the band performing in a cold, snowy environment.
Billboard praised the single's "off-beat music hall melody and up-to-date lyrics." Cash Box said that it is a "slow-moving, blues-drenched, seasonal affair with a catchy, low-key repeating riff." "Sunny Afternoon" was placed at No. 200 on Pitchfork Media's list of The 200 Greatest Songs of the 1960s.

This is from ' A Whole Scene Going' in 1966. Pete Quaife had a bad car accident so couldn't appear on the show, but the other 3 went ahead without him. It's a classic song, and a deserved UK #1 hit.

Gteat song W Was wondering if this covered by another band, around that same era?

[@LarryGonzalez00]

Where's Pete?

[@total.stranger]

Right around that time, Pete was involved in a van accident, returning from a gig. He got banged up in it, broke his hand, couldn't appear with the band, and eventually, they hired John Dalton to fill for him - but in this video, they appear as a trio - which must have been a contractual obligation before they added Dalton. That's my take on it, anyway. I could be mistaken.

[@LarryGonzalez00]

@@total.stranger Thanks for the info. It's weird seeing them with someone missing. It's like those clips for Destroyer and Give the People What They Want without Dave.

[@Happycamper-e9l]

Not gonna lie this sounds like Sgt.Peppers

[@total.stranger]

"Sunny Afternoon" was recorded in May 1966 and released that June. "Sgt.Pepper" was released a year later.

[@tillybinkieking7258]

They did quite good lip-sync.
