[2] In late 1966, "Sunday Morning" was the final song to be recorded for The Velvet Underground & Nico.

It was requested by Tom Wilson, who thought the album needed another song with lead vocals by Nico with the potential to be a successful single.

The final master tape of side one of the album shows "Sunday Morning" only penciled in before "I'm Waiting for the Man".

The song was written with Nico's voice in mind by Lou Reed and John Cale on a Sunday morning.

Yugoslav punk rock band Psihomodo Pop recorded a Serbo-Croatian version for their 1988 debut album Godina zmaja.
