Sunny Afternoon
"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.〔
==Background==
"Sunny Afternoon" was first written in Ray Davies' house when he was sick.
Davies said of the song's lyrics, "The only way I could interpret how I felt was through a dusty, fallen aristocrat who had come from old money as opposed to the wealth I had created for myself." In order to prevent the listener from sympathizing with the song's protagonist, Davies said, "I turned him into a scoundrel who fought with his girlfriend after a night of drunkenness and cruelty."〔
"Sunny Afternoon" was supposedly written during a period of time where the band's songwriter, Ray Davies, was listening to only Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan, Glenn Miller, and Bach. The song was recorded quickly, during a session described by Ray Davies as "atmospheric."
