Good Day was one of the first songs written for Tally Hall, and originally appeared on the [[Party Boobytrap]] EP, released in 2003. This version opens with a loud cough and clapping, and features original drummer [[Steve Gallagher]] on drums. The whole EP was recorded in [[Joe Hawley]]'s attic bedroom using a digital camcorder, with tracks being edited together using Final Cut Pro. Even in this original recording, the final few seconds feature the opening guitar riff from [[Greener]], implying the 2 songs were always meant to transition one into the other.<ref>Tally Hall.

In 2005, "Good Day" was re-recorded for Tally Hall's first studio album: [[Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum (Album)|Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum]], this time with replacement drummer [[Ross Federman]] on drums, and with new orchestration. When remixed and partially re-recorded for [[Atlantic Records]] in 2007, quite a couple changes were made, such as: more vocals on the intro, the "I thought you knew I knew" section was completely re-recorded, and more backing vocals were recorded for the "Let us sing" section.

"Good Day" is a song written by Andrew Horowitz. It won the 2004 BMI John Lennon Scholarship, and It's been played on The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Good Day was also featured in the April 6th, 2006 episode of The O.C., a popular prime-time drama on the Fox network.

The music video for Good Day debuted along side its single release[citation needed] and was later shown in the first episode of Tally Hall's Internet Show.

History

Good Day was one of the first songs written for Tally Hall, and originally appeared on the Party Boobytrap EP, released in 2003. This version opens with a loud cough and clapping, and features original drummer Steve Gallagher on drums. The whole EP was recorded in Joe Hawley's attic bedroom using a digital camcorder, with tracks being edited together using Final Cut Pro. Even in this original recording, the final few seconds feature the opening guitar riff from Greener, implying the 2 songs were always meant to transition one into the other.[1]

In May 2004, the song was performed for the Mitch Albom Show, an excerpt of which would later resurface on 2005's Pingry EP. Later that year, the song also made it to the tracklist of their compilation demo album Complete Demos, mostly unchanged from the Party Boobytrap EP version.[citation needed]

In 2005, "Good Day" was re-recorded for Tally Hall's first studio album: Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum, this time with replacement drummer Ross Federman on drums, and with new orchestration. When remixed and partially re-recorded for Atlantic Records in 2007, quite a couple changes were made, such as: more vocals on the intro, the "I thought you knew I knew" section was completely re-recorded, and more backing vocals were recorded for the "Let us sing" section.

Tally Hall recorded a special version of "Good Day" in the fictional "Simlish" language for the Sims 2: Apartment Life expansion pack.[2] This version was included on the Needlejuice Records re-issue of Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum.

Live Performances

Good Day was performed on Fearless Music with the dialogue segments in the breakdown section changed to "Fearless, we are! Fearless, I say!". Rob's chicken sound, however, remained unchanged. [3] Tally Hall would also change the breakdown for Ann Arbor's 107.1, where they would change it to saying "Top of the Park", "Ann Arbor's 107.1", and random mouth noises.[4]

Music Video

The music video for "Good Day" was filmed over a period of 4 months in 2006[5], and later burned to DVD for filming of the TV segments over that September. Tally Hall seemingly asked people around Michigan to film their TVs for the video, as a Reddit user on r/tallyhall would show a scene featuring a picture of a University of Michigan band "Groove" on a wall.[6] Tally Hall would later post outtakes from the filming on tallyhall.com.[7] Most of the members would also change their profile pictures to scenes from the video, Ross using the weight loss ad, Zubin using the Bob Ross parody, Andrew using the Blue's Clues parody, and Rob using their Party Boobytrap rap video segment.[8]

When asked about it by calenderlive.com, Rob stated: "We're doing it guerrilla-style, we shot part of it at Michigan Stadium.... I think the grounds crew thought we were important because of our ties."[9]

During the filming of one scene at their local rotary park, Joe Hawley and Zubin Sedghi were robbed of most of their equipment and were left injured. This event was referenced in "Rotary Park", a song by both Joe and Zubin on Joe's album called Joe Hawley Joe Hawley.

The music video was uploaded to YouTube on February 25th 2008[10] and soon became featured on YouTube's featured videos category in March 2008[11]. It would also be featured on AOL Music, MSN, and AlbinoBlackSheep[12]

The music video would be re-uploaded to YouTube with new 2008 version audio on June 1st 2010.[13]

Lyrics

I'd like to say hello and welcome you good day that is my name
Come here and sit down I'm so glad you even really truly came
We can even go and take a walk or something like that or something like that
But first I need to introduce my what and introduce my when

Let us sing

Its name I like to call it likes to say it's nothing (it's nothing)
It lives and breathes and it insists that it insists that it is something (it's something)
It never liked to speak or run or walk or sleep or eat
It even thought that everybody tried to thought to take its seat

Looking through glass eyes
Give it a few tries
Nothing goes right in its time
Kill all its bad dreams
Wonder 'bout no things
Circles and spirals in mind

But we know that this song is not about a no or yes or why
What's really truly what I say is that about a little sigh
So come along I think I'm done I think we're done yes this is done
What's truly that I think about it and it thinks about a ton

Let us sing

Looking through glass eyes
Give it a few tries
Nothing goes right in its time
Kill all its bad dreams
Wonder 'bout no things
Circles and spirals in mind

I thought you knew I knew but
Why and by and 
Why and by and by
I wanted you to know
I thought you knew but
Why and by and why

Let us sing, let us sing
Let us sing, let us sing
Let us sing, let us sing
Let us sing, let us sing

Birds and bees and television (let us sing, let us sing)
Cardboard houses, x-ray vision (let us sing, let us sing)
Many little silly rhymes (let us sing, let us sing)
Things forgotten lost their time (let us sing, let us sing)
Telephones and silly games (let us sing, let us sing)
Periods and lots of question marks (let us sing)

A                   E              B

[Verse 2] 

A             E               B                 C#

It's name I like to call It likes to say it's nothing,

     A             E        B

It's nothing (It's something)

A               E               B               C#               A

It lives and breathes and it insists that it insists that it is something

     E       B

It's something

A          E                 B               C#      A  E       B

It never liked to sleep or run or walk or sleep or eat

It even thought that everybody tried to thought to take it's seat

F# B A

[Chorus] 

C              Fmaj7        Dm        G

Looking through glass eyes, give it a few tries

C/E         Fmaj7          Dm   G

Nothing goes right in it's time

C           Fmaj7         Dm         G

Kill all its bad  dreams, wonder bout no things 

C/E         Fmaj7          Dm   G

Circles and spirals in mind

[Verse 3] 

G# A              E                 B           C#           E   B

    But we know that this song is not about a no or yes or why

A                E           B            C#            A    E   B

What's really truly what I say is that about a little sigh

A          E                B                  C#               A   E   B

So come along I think I'm done I think we're done yes this is done

A               E            B               C#            A   E   B

What's truly that I think about it and it thinks about a ton

F#    B   A

Birds and bees and television,     Cardboard houses, x-ray vision

 Let us sing,  let us sing,  let us sing,      let us sing

Many little   silly rhymes, Things forgotten lost their times

F               Bb            G           C                 A
