Steal My Sunshine by Len

"Steal My Sunshine" is a song by Canadian band Len, co-written by band member Marc Costanzo and featuring on their third album You Can't Stop the Bum Rush. The backdrop is based on a sample of a short instrumental portion of Andrea True Connection's 1976 disco single "More, More, More". Supposedly inspired by The Human League's 1981 synthpop hit "Don't You Want Me", the song's vocals alternate between Marc and Sharon Costanzo. Mumble C produced the track. Gregg Diamond, who was given songwriting credit as the original composer of "More, More, More", died three months before the album was released.

The indie pop track became a sleeper hit when radio stations began playing it in March 1999, four months before Len planned to release its album. "Steal My Sunshine" had a commercial single release in July 1999 (see 1999 in music). It received positive reviews from music critics, and its chart success has made Len a one-hit wonder. The song earned a nomination for "Best Single" at the Juno Awards of 2000.

Fine Day (ATB Remix) - Miss Jane

The words of "It's a Fine Day" came to the song's writer Edward Barton as he looked out from his balcony in Hulme, Manchester. Originally written as a poem, Barton and his girlfriend, vocalist Jane Lancaster, later recorded it as an a capella song, peaking at #87 in the UK singles chart. UK Dance act Opus III covered it a decade later, taking it into the UK Top 10 and to the top of the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. It is now considered a house music classic.

Len again please.

 

[Postman Dave]

That Die Antwoord video was almost enough to convince me otherwise, but sticking with Steal My Sunshine.

 

[Jimmy King]

I regret not voting for it earlier on, but now I'll give my vote to Steal My Sunshine. I remember the summer when that song was big, and seeing music video played nearly every day when I watched MTV.

 

[Lover Boy]

Steal my Sunshine on this one for me.
