"Daydream" #2 4/9/1966

The only 60's acts to start their careers with seven straight Top 10 records were Gary Lewis and the Playboys and these guys, the Lovin' Spoonful. John Sebastian began writing this song based on the Supremes' "Baby Love" but things took a left turn somewhere along the way. It became a song about doing nothing, similar to how "Seinfeld" was about nothing. In both cases the premise worked.
