'' is a song recorded by British indie band The Boo Radleys for their fourth album, Wake Up !. It was by far their biggest hit both in the UK and internationally. The track is an upbeat guitar - pop song about the change from summer to autumn, contrasting the narrator 's optimism ( `` Wake up, it 's a beautiful morning '' ) with his companion 's pessimism ( `` You have to put the death in everything '' ). Part of the song was used as a jingle by Chris Evans for his BBC Radio 1 breakfast show in the mid nineties.

The second CD single and 12 '' feature a version called `` Wake Up Boo ! : Music for Astronauts '' which has three distinct segued sections : the standard radio edit in full, followed by a version of the a cappella round, and finally a mostly instrumental electronic dance track reprising musical elements of the main song. It was this `` Music for Astronauts '' version which later featured on the group 's self - selected `` best of '' compilation, Find the Way Out, along with the b - side, `` Blues for George Michael ''. The basic single version has never appeared on a Boo Radleys album ( their other greatest hits collection Best of The Boo Radleys contains the album version ) though it has appeared on many various artist collections. Video The promotional video for Wake Up Boo ! was filmed at Battersea Power Station. Formats and track listing CD One All tracks written by Martin Carr. No. Title Length 1. `` Wake Up Boo !
