Walking On Sunshine

Walking on Sunshine, the eponymous track of Katrina and the Waves' 1983 debut album, is undeniably their most popular song. Famous for its upbeat and feel-good atmosphere, the song has been covered by many artists including Dolly Parton, and has been used in countless advertisements and movies, from American Psycho to Daddy Day Care. The song is estimated to have earned the band $1 million annually for ten years from royalties. Due to its high demand, advertisers typically pay $150,000 to $200,000 to use it in commercials. In an interview with The Guardian, guitarist and writer of the song, Kimberley Rew said..........I’d love to say Walking on Sunshine relates to a significant event in my life, like walking out of my front door, seeing a comet and being inspired. But it’s just a piece of simple fun, an optimistic song Nevertheless, the song has certainly made waves all across the world.
