In November1965, the Spoonful embarked on a 19-day package-tour with the American girl group the Supremes. The acts performed at colleges across the southern U.S., beginning in Lafayette, Louisiana, on November10. Both acts traveled by bus and partied together, along with members of the Supremes' backing band, the Funk Brothers, billed as the Earl Van Dyke Orchestra. The Spoonful generally enjoyed the tour but found it physically exhausting. Sebastian additionally missed his girlfriend, Loretta "Lorey" Kaye. Near the tour's end, in an effort to raise his own spirits, he composed "Daydream" while riding on the bus through North Carolina, drawing inspiration from the Supremes' 1964 singles "Baby Love" and "Where Did Our Love Go". A stop in Savannah, Georgia inspired the beginnings of "Jug Band Music", which Boone later said "recalled pleasant visions of the tour" for him and his bandmates.
