Sunny Day (song)

"Sunny Day" is the ninth single released by the American synthpop band Book of Love. The song was released as the second single from the band's third album, 1991's Candy Carol.

"Sunny Day" was written by band member Ted Ottaviano, who also sings the lead vocals on the track. It became the second Book of Love song to feature him on lead vocals. The single was featured in Jonathan Demme's 1991 film, The Silence of the Lambs. In a strange twist of fate, band member Lauren Roselli was cast in the role of Stacy Hubka in the movie.

The song was initially remixed by Ben Grosse and released as a CD promo single and cassette single. Shortly thereafter, the band themselves remixed the track, and this remix appeared on their following single "Counting The Rosaries", the CD maxi-single edition of which also included the Ben Grosse remix.

"Sunny Day" was reworked in 1993 for Ted Ottaviano's post Book of Love project with Basil Lucas, Doubleplusgood. The 1993 version, found on Sire's 1993 compilation, New Faces, features Lambert Moss on vocals and is more of a dance oriented track.
