This song was all about just ditching the day and goofing off. Written by Small Faces members Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane, it became a UK Top 5 even though at first the BBC banned the record due to perceived drug references. So the group concocted a totally fake story about how Itchycoo Park was a dump the band members played in as kids, and fooled the BBC. There’s an interesting audio effect on the record called flanging, which created that swooshing sound.
