1972 single by Daniel Boone
"Beautiful Sunday " is a song written by Daniel Boone and Rod McQueen (real name David Balfe)[3] and performed by Boone. It appeared on his 1972 album Beautiful Sunday and was produced by Larry Page and arranged by Boone.[4]
It has been described as the biggest international hit in the British bubblegum pop genre.[5] Robin Carmody of Freaky Trigger praised the song for its "timelessly, wonderfully obvious chord sequence " and euphoric tone, "without any hint that driving to and from your day's pleasure and relaxation might even contain anything sexual, let alone anything depressing, tedious and ugly."[5] He named it the greatest British bubblegum pop song, deeming it "a neo-folk song structure of almost religious, redemptive simplicity / sublimity. One of the greatest singles of the 70s, if not ever."[1]
Chart performance [ edit ]
"Beautiful Sunday" was released by Penny Farthing Records , but by Mercury Records in the US, in 1972. It peaked at No. 15 on Billboard Hot 100 on 16–23 September 1972 and at No. 1 on WCFL on 21 October 1972.[6] The song also made the charts in New Zealand (gold record), France, Japan, South Africa, Mexico, and Germany, where it held the No. 1 position from May 1972 to late June 1972.[7]
The song peaked at No. 21 in the United Kingdom on its original release in 1972, and reached No. 53 when re-released in 1974.[8]
Boone re-released the song in Japan in 1976; it topped the Oricon Singles Chart from 22 March to 28 June.[9] "Beautiful Sunday" is still the best selling single by a foreign artist in Japan .

In popular culture [ edit ]
The song is commonly used for the 'Slosh' dance.[27] The dance is popular in Scotland where it is commonly played at wedding receptions. [28] The song has also been sung by supporters of Dundee United since around the 1990s.[29]
In media [ edit ]
"Beautiful Sunday" was the theme song in 1975-76 on Japan's TBS morning show, Ohayo 720 .[30]
The song was featured in the Scottish sitcom Still Game ' s second series episode 3, "Doactors" (Doctors). Characters Jack Jarvis and Victor McDade dance the Slosh to it.
