"The morning sun is shining, like a red rubber ball..."

One of the more underrated of the many hit singles of the '60s.

I'm trying to find some deeper cut covers for 2025, David. Have any suggestions for me?

I don't know of any besides the Cyrkle original- sorry.

I didn’t know this song but it’s lovely. I like them all and am inclined to agree that the covers surpass the original. I really enjoyed the Nellie McKay cover. She’s not an artist I’ve come across but something in her vocals reminds me of Kirsty MacColl.

She’s got a lovely vibe, doesn’t she? I’ve listened to several covers she’s done, but I’m going to dig a bit deeper into her discography.

I’m not ashamed to admit I’m a big fan of Neil, so I’m almost guaranteed to love anything he does.
