Song Lyric of the Day (The Lovin’ Spoonful, on the Heat and Humidity I Dread)

“Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty.”--“Summer in the City,” written by Mark Sebastian, John Sebastian, and Steve Boone, from the Lovin’ Spoonful LP Greatest Hits

This song which hit #1 on the charts in the summer of 1966, remains as vivid an expression of what it's like to endure the oppressive heat and humidity now as it was then.
