"Lazy Sunday" is a song by the English band Small Faces, reaching number two on the UK Singles Chart in 1968. It was written by the Small Faces songwriting duo Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane, and appeared on the band's 1968 concept album Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake and preceded the album as a successful single, despite being released against the band's wishes.
"Lazy Sunday" has a traditional cockney East End of London music-hall sound. The song was inspired by Marriott's feuds with his neighbours and is also noticeable for its distinct vocal changes. Marriott sings large parts of the song in a greatly exaggerated cockney accent; he did this partly due to an argument he had with the Hollies, who said that Marriott had never sung in his own accent. In the final bridge and the last two choruses, he reverts to his usual transatlantic (singing) accent. John Lydon cited the Small Faces as one of his few influences as vocalist for the Sex Pistols, and evidence of Marriott's influence can be found in this song.
The vocal backing quotes "Colonel Bogey March" by F. J. Ricketts at 51 seconds and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones at 1 minute 45 seconds. At the end of the song the tune dissolves into birdsong and church bells.
"Lazy Sunday" appears as track six on the album, Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake, and is the last track on Side A of the vinyl release.
The song was featured in the 2009 British comedy film The Boat That Rocked.

How About You? is a popular song composed by Burton Lane, with lyrics by Ralph Freed. (1941 in music) It was introduced in the 1941 film Babes on Broadway by Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney.
The lyrics of the song are often changed depending on the recording artist. In its original form it is a humorous romantic duet, though rarely recorded that way. Certain lyrics, especially those with topical references, are often changed based on the time of the performances release. For example, the line Franklin Roosevelts looks give me a thrill was changed to James Durantes looks in a 1956 recording by Sinatra, though he did sing it in its original form when he recorded it with Dorsey back in December of 1941.

Get Off of My Cloud is a song by the English rock band the Rolling Stones. It was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards as a single to follow the successful (I Cant Get No) Satisfaction. Recorded in early September 1965 and released that November, the song topped the charts in the United Kingdom, the United States and Germany, reaching No. 2 in Australia and Ireland.
The Stones have said that the song is a reaction to their suddenly greatly enhanced popularity and deals with their aversion to peoples expectations of them after the success of Satisfaction. According to Keith Richards, Get off of My Cloud was basically a response to people knocking on our door asking us for the follow-up to Satisfaction ... We thought At last. We can sit back and maybe think about events. Suddenly theres the knock at the door and of course what came out of that was Get off of My Cloud.[

Light My Fire is a song by the Doors, which was recorded in August 1966 and released in January 1967 on their self-titled debut album. Released as an edited single on April 24, 1967, it spent three weeks at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in late July, and one week on the Cash Box Top 100, nearly a year after its recording.
The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, with vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger, and drummer John Densmore. The band got its name, at Morrisons suggestion from the title of Aldous Huxleys book The Doors of Perception, which itself was a reference to a quote made by William Blake, If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. They were unique and among the most controversial and influential rock acts of the 1960s, mostly because of Morrisons lyrics and charismatic but unpredictable stage persona. After Morrisons death in 1971, the remaining members continued as a trio until disbanding in 1973.")
