    This lazy, laid back celebration of love on a summer’s day originated with John Sebastian’s attempt to rewrite the Supremes’ “Baby Love,” though it turned into something quite different.
    As John Sebastien said “We had no way of knowing what a nice long shelf life some of that material was gonna have. At the time, we were certainly aiming only for the next few months. That’s really what we were trying for, a Top Ten record right now, right then. Everything else is unexpected.”
    This song started The whole New Vaudeville Bandwagon in the late 1960s of which Sgt. Pepper was the most well known example. This song influenced the Beatles, as John Lennon’s jukebox included both this and “Do You Believe In Magic?.” This song was a major influence on Paul McCartney’s Beatles composition “Good Day Sunshine.”

      sblake,
      No way would I ever get one Baby Love from this so it really didn’t work at all-good thing too as this is such a great song.

      I never heard the tern New Vaudeville Bandwagon, but it is a perfect description.
