I love this song and when my Aunt bought me the Album Sunny Side up this song stood out as a classic and right enough it has been played and played and played.
What makes it great is its beat and it sounds like a ragtag song that you instantly want to do the Charleston to. Gavin Fitzjohn plays the outstanding trumpet which can be heard throughout the song, including the flutter-tonguing that can be heard to the trained ear.
Written by Paolo Nutini, the song was released as the third single from the album in November 2009, and reached the top twenty in the same year. The album itself debuted in the album chart at number 1 and went on to be quintuple platinum. With his unmistakable Scottish accent; Nutini offers sunshine on a very wet and miserable day and a bit of joy on a Sunday night; when the return to work is on the horizon; and if you have a dirty mind, the title and flutter-tonguing of a trumpeter has to keep you smiling.
Enjoy Paolo's singing:
