"Sunny" was a single by Morrissey released in December 1995. It was released by EMI to try and cash in on Morrissey's Southpaw Grammar album that had been released that year by RCA and consisted of three songs that Morrissey had recorded while under contract to EMI.
"Sunny" had initially been planned to appear on the Boxer EP released in January 1995, and "Black-Eyed Susan" had at one point been allocated to be the B-side of The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get in 1994.

[edit] Reviews
The NME gave their usual negative review, saying that this single showed that "Morrissey has become the embarrassing incontinent grandfather of Britpop". The song was described as "piss-poor old crap" and a "tune-impaired three-minute drone".[1]
