The Kinks: Days:
Official TV Studio Performance [1968]
The Kinks: Days: Official TV Studio Performance. Of all the Kinks songs which I really like, this one is the very best! And it was also covered by Kirsty McColl who kept it very close to the original version. Below is a clickable link to her version on Youtube.
DAYS: Kirsty MacColl covered "Days" on her second studio album, Kite (1989). It was released as the album's second single on 19th June 1989 and peaked at No. 12 on the UK Singles Chart, the same position achieved by the Kinks in 1968. In Ireland, MacColl's version charted seven places higher than the original, at No. 9. In 1995. The song was used in an advertising campaign for the Sony camcorder. It was re-released and reached No. 42 on the UK Singles Chart. It is one of MacColl's most popular singles. Kirsty MacColl was tragically killed on December 18, 2000, in Cozumel, Mexico. The 41-year-old singer was scuba diving with her two sons in a designated watercraft-restricted area when she was struck by a speeding powerboat. She managed to push her son, Jamie, out of the boat's path but was fatally hit, dying instantly.
