Smack Down!! – “It’s A Wonderful Day”

This week in song covers smack down we find the Biney English penned tune “It’s A Wonderful Day”.  The song was originally recorded by the Anchormen, when Biney was a member, on their 1989 recording Heart Of The Matter.  The song starts with the chorus and moves in to the first verse, repeats the chorus and then goes in to the second verse before closing with the chorus.

The Anchormen, during this recording, was composed of David Walker (Tenor), Biney English (Lead), Terry Carter (Baritone) and Jody Medford (Bass).  The group has a full production with horns and their version is a bit more up tempo than the cover.  The Anchormen will take the first chorus and verse.

Triumphant Quartet covered the song on their 2008 table project, Intermission.  Triumphant’s arrangement scaled back on the horns and slowed the tempo down slightly.

The group will take the second chorus and verse.  It’s a wonderful day for a smack down.  Anchormen or Triumphant.  Enjoy!
