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.
