McCarthy overlaid the first few bars of the song with the sound of a wind-up alarm clock, first ticking and then ringing, to greet his listeners each morning. McCarthy used Have a Nice Day to open his "Morning Music Hall" on WJR, a powerful Detroit AM radio station, for several years in the early to mid 1970s.
The title track of this album was also used as theme music.
This later became the theme music for Ellsworth's night time radio program. Like all other cuts on the LP it was composed by Sammy Nestico. On this album Basie recorded the song Scott's Place written for KFI jazz DJ Scott Ellsworth. Sammy Nestico, a graduate of Duquesne University who worked for the US Air Force Band, primarily the Airmen of Note, in Washington, DC for 12 years after World War II, had at this time been writing for Basie for four years. This was Basie's debut recording for Daybreak. Have a Nice Day is a 1971 studio album by Count Basie and his orchestra, with all music composed and arranged by Sammy Nestico.
