It's interesting what a person will write a song about.
In the Lovin' Spoonful's Number One hit, "Summer in the City," John Sebastian complains about how hot a summer day can be in a big city:
- Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
- Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
- Sidewalk hotter than a match head
But then the sun goes down and the fun begins:
- Go out and find a girl
- Cool cat looking for a kitty
- Gonna meet you on the rooftop
But hey, fantasizing about romantic encounters is better song material than actual big-city nightlife:
Sinatra was right: If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.
