We call it:  "Enough with winter already!"

January 29, 2016

So as most of the east coast begins to dig out of winter storm Jonas this might be a good time to remember that in a few short months people will start complaining about how hot it is!

We have a rule about the AC in our house:  I can only take so many clothes off, while everyone else can keep putting clothes on...so as long as I am comfortable everything is OK!

This number one song (which was a hit all around the world) seems to agree that when its hot the best solution is to, uh, wear less.

Let's just leave it at that.




Next week a whole new theme!

Thanks for checking it out this week!

A top ten hit...a one hit wonder...and a song that gets stuck in your head for days.

Thanks Canada!

Len hit number one in 1999 in the US...and managed a second top 30 song in the UK in 2000 but nothing else charted here.

Tomorrow:  The 2000's! uh, the 00's? The oughts?  I don't know...

I'm sure there are plenty of other favorite summer songs from this decade to pick from...and really it is not even about the temperature...but given his sudden passing this month it seemed appropriate to have this one today.

Released in 1984 and buoyed by its connection to the film "Beverly Hills Cop, Glenn Frey got his first solo, top ten hit when it reached #2.

Tomorrow:  The 90's!

Today's song was released in 1972 and was one of seven top ten hits (without ever reaching number one) for the duo Seals & Croft.

"Summer Breeze" was nominated for a Grammy for best Pop Performance for a Duo or Group with vocals,  It lost to Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack for "Where is Love".

Tomorrow:  The 80's!

This song today is a personal favorite.

The first (and only) number one single for The Lovin' Spoonful, it was released in 1966 and held the top spot for three weeks.

Tomorrow: The 70's!
