About 7 years ago, I stretched this wonderful tune from Spanky and the GANG...hope you like it.
Harmonies and strong voices like this aren't around anymore because melody and harmony are not popular, Spanky had a wonderful strong voice.
Man these 60s songs just had an atmosphere and sound that just made you feel good, love everything and everybody.
IT'S CALLED A HOOK. PLUS IT'S GREAT MUSIC NOT LIKE THAT GARBAGE THAT THEY PLAY TODAY ❤😅😢
I am a little old man of 68, but just hearing Just 1 of my classic oldies, makes me want 2 Live Forever !!! So Good 😁😁😁
For sure...
There sure did!! Best Years!! Too bad grandkids are so spoiled rotten!!!
❤You're right about that my dear ❤
The 60's Never Sounded Better, here in 2022.
I can NEVER get tired of hearing this song!💕🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸
One of the greatest songs ever done...incredible arrangement and voicing. Intricate music, so unlike the garbage of the past 25 years
I,m so glad you said that because they were and there will never ever be songs or music like this ever ever again !!!!!
Lazy Day should go in the history books as one of the greatest feel good songs ever written I can’t listen to this song enough and I would of loved to dated Spanky when I was younger ha she’s so cute ;)
I would've loved to have dated Spanky too!!.....and I'm a girl! hehe!! I'm sure she had her fair share of female admirers too!😉😄
. You're right about that my dear. 🤗👍
Sunshine pop at its best no question about it unbelievably good music ! 1967 what a great year !!!!!!
This song is lovely. It sounds better longer and on RUclips.
This song and band, especially Spanky, always make me feel good. Love this version.
The greatest Sunshine Pop Song of all time and should never ever be forgotten !!!!!
It's very close, but "Windy" by The Association is a close contender!
even more than SUNSHINE & LolliPOPS?
@@jayanxiety Agreed Lazy Day, Windy, Sunday will never be the Same, 98.6, Up Up and Away, along with many others made 1967 a remarkable year in music!!!!!
@@scottmiller6495 People tend to overlook this type of music when looking back to 1967. Contemporary journalists often equate 67 with "The Summer of Love" , Anti-War songs and "Sgt Pepper" rather than the positive sounds of Sunshine Pop.
@@jayanxiety Agreed !!!!!
I don't know if the band is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They deserve to be.
great band, probably just not enough songs or albums for the hall
Cuz it ain't rock and roll. The place is a joke.
As a Flower Child in 1968 I loved this song Peace & ♥️
This song and Sunday Will Never Be the Same are incredible songs that were unusual and fabulous in 1967 and still unbelievable Now!!!!!
Don't forget "I'd like to get to know you". Three of the sixties best pop songs.
@@markberryhill2715 Of course a 1968 masterpiece!!!!!
@@scottmiller6495 as far as I know those three were their only big hits, but they were big ones.
What a cryin shame the group lost Hale to a freak accident. They were phenomenal together. Such rich harmonies and they could all play. Still sound great almost 50 years later. Thanks.
Spanky and Our Gang: Pioneers of Sunshine Pop
I really loved this song, this group and elaine mcfarland. Everytime i heard lazy day i went crazy it made you smile, feel good and wish you could walk through a park on a sunny day with an ice cream cone and a bunch of red balloons oh my God do we need music like this again in todays world. 1967 will never be seen again Never a great time gone by too soon. !!!!!!
You said it Scott. One of the best years of my life, it will never be again. And to think such beautiful music could be produced in the turbulent 1960"s!
the summer of LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is nos Sixties without Spanky and Our Gang, they epitomize perfectly what those years were and still are to many of us.
WOW!! I never noticed all the different instruments in the background of this awesome piece of wonderful music!👍👍💖
It's pretty complex, and beautiful
I went to see them in 1984 at the Tropicana in Atlantic City for the Happy Together Tour 1984 and four groups performed there to a packed audience when she started singing Lazy Day everyone went crazy and when the performance was over and they were done their session i went up and hugged Elaine (Spanky) and said i loved her and she was delighted, I will never forget this for the rest of my life!!!!!
I wish I could have the opportunity to let her know how major she is to me, and how sad I am for the tragedies the group went through early on. Hopefully Elaine knows how important she is to people (and the rest of the band as well, Rest In Peace).
@@bobbynewb7756 Oh she knows and as she approaches 80 years old which is hard to believe, the memories will last forever!!!!!
Wow!!! Awesome memory. Appreciate them so much.
Oh my what a rush. Great
The best music ever I love it so much I listen to this music over and over again I never forget that music no matter what
This is the way I remember life when my group of friends were all together in the late 60's.
Never heard this extended version..what a treat to hear so much of the band track..
so very very well...but they know that.
A groovy song that can never be duplicated today. None of these artists today can touch this song.!!
made me cry, must be old, outstanding stretch
One of the best vocal bands of ALL time!
Her voice is amazing, love the Altos like Karen Carpenter ‼️⭕️❌🍉♥️🤍👍🏽👍🏽
A fountain of youth for me! Beautiful!
Yes..I still crank up my little blue tooth speaker and listen to this in the mornings...with nostalgic tears and a smile on my face...nuff said !
Never realised how talented Spanky and gang were. Simply enchanting.
Absolutely what memories. Best music ever
Just listen to Spanky sing Lazy Day every morning when you wake up and no more Prozac................
I.m almost 66..and I cranked this up this morning for a good feeling to last the day long..well done laddie...nuff said !
Sunshine pop! Perfect to listen to while taking a long drive on a Saturday afternoon.
Fresh and happy music, what the world need now.
Thank God for Sirius XM 60s On 6 or we would never hear this beautiful music!
My Favorite Happy Song of All Time, both lyrically and musically! 11-21-15
Spanky and Our Gang: Criminally underrated.....for decades! Thank you for this!
I know, their three hits will live forever in the minds of intellegent people. Sunday Will Never Be The Same, Lazy Day, and I,d Like To Get To Know You.Because they only lasted a few years and had many people die in their group cut their fame short and that is still considered a horrible shame !!!!!
This song just makes me so happy... Once it starts playing its like all my problems just disappear..
Something very unusual about this song it just does something to you when you hear it !!!!!
RIP, John and thank you for such a fantastic rendition of a great song made even better by your loving touch. It is so clear your love shown for these songs by Spanky and our Gang. I consider you an equal member of the group after what you have done to bring their performances to a younger audience. Thank you and rest easy in heaven.
the best band that ever came out of our beloved Chicago!
Joseph Pizzo ...The Buckinghams were great too....
Spanky & Our Gang gave us some of the best harmonies of the '60s. I love your work on this gem.
I love Spanky and Our Gang; 6 part harmony; Amazing vocalists! 😊👍🎵🎼🎶
Never heard this extended version . Just makes me happy all over !
I fell in love with song two years ago. It makes me happy when I'm sad or upset. Its so beautiful.
Thanks, Sarah!!!
There's something magical about this song, like nothing anyone has ever heard before!!!!!
My FAVORITE SUNSHINE POP OF ALL TIME. A HAPPY GO LUCKY SOUND THAT MAKES ANYONE HAPPY AND CHEERFUL.
The happiest song ever!!! Beautiful!
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SONG, EVEN IN THE YEAR 2020!!!
And 2022!
@@michaelmiller9483 And 2023 and beyond !!!!!
Oh yeah!
Better than ANY song that's come out in the past TEN YEARS!! 👏👏
I feel so blessed to live in this era. only 9 yrs old I remember this song so vividly. my neighbor went to Vietnam and returned
Same here, I was 10 Y.O. in 1967, the older cats in the neighborhood were of Draft age 🇺🇲🪂🪖 a few came back & the others 🤔 ?? WOW, the memories & the transistor radio 📻 was my friend Beautiful music 🎶 🎵 in the 60's Just saying 🫡
Love that bright, beautiful sound of Spanky and our Gang. They were marvelous!
What a tune. What a tune to start your day.
This song immediately brings 1967 back in focus, as clear as if it were yesterday.
Sunshine rock is something we can surely use these days. First heard this at 10 years old and even at that young age I felt that this music defined positivity, love and just good feelings toward life. Glad I can still listen to it periodically and capture that same feeling. I know…but it’s true.
Doesn’t get any better than this great group and music, best of times for sure!
SUNDAY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME ..MY FAVORITE!❤
The Quintessential of "Sunshine Pop"
My extended version is when I play this song over and over again...I love it !!! 🌼
i used to listen to them as a teenager back in 66-68.
very nicely done!! the vocals of this group have always been outstanding!
Spanky & Her Gang "Sunshine Pop" Legends of all time
Spanky and her Gang is the QUEEN of Sunshine Pop!
None better no one since !!!
For better or for worse.
@@scottmiller6495 Agreed
Abso-blooming-lutely.
The original song(s) always made smile. These versions just make me jump for joy. I love hearing and appreciating the arrangement that were behind all these hits. I immerse myself in the music and without the vocals I can get lost in my memories. Thank you very much.
I like their remake in 1969 when they said their Hellos in the middle of the song!!!!!
Wow! Love this extended version! Goid work! ❤️💜🎵🎤🎸🎹🌈☮️☺️
Lovely extended version of a exceptional song with excellent sixties summersound atmosphere!!!
Absolutely love this group!!
Wow this video just took my stress away! Nice to be able to take a break from all of the nasty news and events going on in North America right now. Makes me feel human again! Takes me back to my childhood, where I didn’t need to know or deal with all of the negative events going on at that time. Just a kid enjoying his life.
My favorite pieces of music. 3. Beethoven's 9th, 2. Appalachian Spring, 1. This song. I love the minor key intro.
Makes me want to break out my bell bottoms.This song was extraordinarily done.
OMG, I can't stop playing this -- I wish it went on forever
LOVE this version. Priceless treasure. Thank you for this.
Great job mixing this amazing piece. The producers threw in every instrument they could including a harp. If you listen closely during the chorus, you can hear a flute in the left channel and a fife (higher pitch flute) in the right channel.
Those great 60's lyrics. Songs these days don't tell the story like they did back then . . .
Blue sky, sunshine
What a day to take a walk in the park
Ice cream, daydream
Till the sky becomes a blanket of stars
What a day for picking daisies
And lots of red balloons
And what a day for holdin' hands
And bein' with you
Thanks so much for sharing this classic song with the great Spanky Macfarlane on lead vocal. She sings like an angel.
Steve,
Salem, OR USA
An Icon that will be remembered forever!!!!!
Brilliant.........just brilliant!!!!
This extended version is excellent! Thanks Mosogotam
This video is lovely. I hope it will be here for many years to come.
Thank you for this, a million times over.
My FEEL GOOD song. Simply THE BEST. Thanks!!!
Ohh, I just love this song! Just takes me to a nicer, happier place than what we have going on in this world now!! Its escapism!! Just for moment anyway! So beautiful! Wish I could of experienced the 60s!❤❤❤❤❤
Sure brings back good memories of the good times. I was 23 when this song came out.
November of 1967 !!!!!
Love the extended mix. I love Spanky and Our Gang. 😊🎼🎶🎵👍
Spanky & Gang are the Quintessential of 'Sunshine Pop' [My Fav.} 11-27-15
Love this! If it was an hour long, it still wouldn’t be long enough!
You're so right!!!!!
I am blessed to have been able to live in an era where we were able to take those walks in the park and not get gunned down in a driveby or mugged. Maybe someday we will be given that chance to relive our past happiness in the form of our future shangrila.
Yes, I think we will. What a future we'll have there, right?
The Quintessential "Sunshine Pop" of all time!
Thank you!!!!!

Super positive energy! Flower power pop at it's finest!
This song is so masterpiece and joyfulness pure happiness and harmony of gold God bless that song you are the best Spanky And Our Gang
I have never heard the extended version of this great song before! What memories it bring to me!
When I was thirteen I couldn't wait until I was sixteen so I could legally drive. When I was sixteen I couldn't wait until I was twenty one. When I was twenty one,I couldn't wait until I was twenty two when I would be discharged from the Army. I was so busy wanting to grow up that all this great music just grew up with me and I didn't really appreciate it back then Iike I do today. I wish now that I could have pushed the pause button and really enjoyed those years to the fullest.
I'm thankful that this music can take me back to those years that flew by me so fast.
MKZ Thanks for your service
Let me echo those sentiments of your service...also, don't feel bad...most of us look back at the innocence (or nieve t) and embrace it with fondness and longing for it. But then reality sets in just like when you become aware of the real reasons behind wars (not the fairy tail propaganda) and realize how were all getting screwed and the worst part is when you realize there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Well you can try...just ask Jack, Bobby, Martin...or more recently Seth Rich. Yeah, like I said, nothin' we can do except escape into our wonderful world of music and keep dreaming. At least we have that..thanks for this fantastic composition I love it! Did you ever do Aquarius by the 5th Dimension? How about "Shapes and Angles" by them? That seems like a number you could really work with. Has one of the best bass/drum hooks I have ever heard in my life (thanks to Joe Osborn and Hal Blaine) as well as McCoo's unearthly vocals. If you never heard it you will be floored! Check it out. Peace, Bob
@@polara01 "Shapes and Angles"? Do you mean "Love's Lines, Angles And Rhymes"
?
Yes! Do you like that one?
@@polara01 Thanks for replying. Yes, I do. My kind of music! :)
great Job ! 60's Music was the greatest !
I never forget that song lazy day is so beautiful when I was young I heard it from elementary school and I downloaded on my phone you also the best Spanky And Our Gang
Gentle sweetness ! A lovely song quality that has dissapeared.
This is arguably The Greatest All Time Feel Good Song of The Entire 1960's Decade. Lazy Day by Spanky & Our Gang. No question about it man.
absolute fantastic hit in everyway..thanks for giving us more
could hear it 24/7!!
It's May 2nd 2020 I'm sitting in a park in New Jersey that they just reopened because of this horrible pandemic. It's a beautiful sunny day and I just listened to this song again and felt wonderful like I was just born again. The lyrics says it all. What a day for thinking right out loud: I Love You!!!!!
Ditto on that Saturday June 13 2020, a perfectly clear beautiful day and hearing this incredible song is the icing on the cake!!!!!
And here in May of 2021 still the great song it was back in 1967 !!!!!
And in July 2022 in this troubled world, Lazy Day is still something special to listen to!!!!!
outstanding job sound better than the regular version keep up the good work. love this toon . long live the 60's for ever. it's true people were always smiling in that time . just were did those times go ? and will those times ever come back. now that's happy days.
