Wikipedia

"Good Day Sunshine" is a song by The Beatles on the 1966 album Revolver. It was written by Paul McCartney, though like all Beatles songs written by either of them, it is credited as Lennon/McCartney. Leonard Bernstein praised the song for its construction in a 1967 CBS News documentary.

Recording

McCartney and Ringo Starr are the only members of the band to appear on this track instrumentally. John Lennon and George Harrison add harmony vocals during the choruses. George Martin played the solo on the piano. The song was recorded at Abbey Road 8 June 1966, with overdubs added the following day.

McCartney's bass provides the opening line before Starr enters with a drum roll.

There is a phrase hidden in the song, just after Paul McCartney sings the line, "she feels good." Ringo can be heard very softly in the right channel. While it is not clear what he is saying, some Beatles enthusiasts say that he responds to McCartney's line, saying "she fucking does."

Influences

McCartney said that he was influenced by The Lovin' Spoonful in writing this song, whose bouncy harmonies and upbeat lyrics recall the Spoonful's "good-time music."

Cover versions

A cover version was recorded by The Tremeloes and released as their first single after they signed with CBS Records in 1966, though it never charted.
Claudine Longet recorded a version in 1967 for her second A&M LP, "The Look of Love" and also released it as a single. The single peaked at #100 on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart and #36 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Chart.
Don & The Goodtimes also recorded a version for their Epic LP, "So Good".
The Bangles covered "Good Day Sunshine" for the 2006 album All Together Now: Beatles Stuff for Kids of All Ages.
