Sunday is a song by Sonic Youth, released on April 23, 1998 by record label Geffen as the first and only single from their 10th studio album, A Thousand Leaves. It reached No. 72 in the UK Singles Chart. One of the single’s B-sides, “Moist Vagina“, was originally by Nirvana, who were friends of the band and appeared in the film 1991: The Year Punk Broke while touring with Sonic Youth. A different recording of the song was also featured on the soundtrack of the film SubUrbia. The song’s riff was ‘borrowed’ from Helium‘s song “Skeleton”. The video for Sunday was directed by Harmony Korine and starred Macaulay Culkin and Rachel Miner. The video made liberal use of slow- and fast-motion cameras and images of ballerinas dancing and Culkin playing a banjo and interacting with Miner.
