"Sunday Morning" came off No Doubt's 1995 album Tragic Kingdom as its fifth single in May 1997, and it's the band's ska roots at full bounce, with a reggae lilt and a little Motown snap folded in. Gwen Stefani wrote it with her brother Eric and Tony Kanal, and the lyric picks through the wreckage of a romance gone bust, sparked by a conversation she had with Kanal. Matthew Wilder produced it, keeping Tom Dumont's guitar choppy, Kanal and Adrian Young locked tight, and Phil Jordan's trumpet and Gabrial McNair's trombone blaring over the top.
Critics singled it out as a Tragic Kingdom highlight. Sophie Muller's video finds the band playing in a garage for a lone passerby, then cooking up a big dinner that ends in a backyard food fight.
