*First line is the band name. 1966. This was this band's 5th song to break the top 10, but their only #1. The lyrics differ from most songs about the summer by lamenting the heat, contrasting the unpleasant warmth and noise of the daytime with the relief offered by the cool night, which allows for the nightlife to begin. The recording is an early instance in pop music of added sound effects, made up of car horns and a pneumatic drill to mimic city noises.
