"Good Day Sunshine" is the totally appropriate song for the day! :) It was written by Paul and credited to both him and John, and has an "old-timey vaudevillian feel" that McCartney attributed to inspiration from the group The Lovin' Spoonful.
With its sickeningly cheerful lyrics and 1920's saloon-style piano bit in the middle, "Good Day Sunshine" is just one of those tunes that makes you smile. It's so happy, in fact, that the song "has been played as the wake-up music on multiple Space Shuttle missions. McCartney played the song live to the crew of the International Space Station on 13 November 2005 in the first-ever concert link-up to the space station."
I think this one is a really cute song. It's even cuter if you think of "sunshine" as referring not only to the actual sun, but as a nickname for the girl that the singer is singing about. If I were an astronaut, I wouldn't mind waking up to it at least once or twice. :)
That's all for today! See you tomorrow.
