The four opening lines of a once popular song come to mind in a strange way lately:
It's summertime summertime sum sum summertime
Summertime summertime sum sum summertime
Summertime summertime sum sum summertime
Summertime summertime sum sum summertime summertime.
This silly but melodic 1958 song, “Summertime, Summertime,” was a one-hit wonder by an obscure group called The Jamies. Here’s the strange part: the song celebrated the joys of summer’s arrival; however, many of us could use a reminder now that it’s STILL summer.
There’s often a new coolness in the air now, the fields are turning white, gold, and brown, and there’s talk about school and football. But, remember: it’s summertime, summertime, summertime until September 22. (Brooklin, Maine)
