Old Stonewall wilts when the mercury climbs.
He holds a penny when he should have a dime.
The magic number is seventy-nine
But its too darn hot.
The temp in zip 20005 reached 98F today. Thank you other regional participants--Southwest and Midwest--for sending your heat my way. I tried to ponder the implications of Israeli raids into NE Lebanon today where the temps are over 100F, but ... ya know. I am pondering now but will ponder better in a few days when we send this weather to Europe. Doesn't mean the gen'rul don't care, it's just ... too darn hot.
Thought some of you warm ones might enjoy revisiting a Cole Porter classic "It's Too Darned Hot" penned in the days before A/C and recorded in a number of versions as detailed in the comments ... May it cool you off. Below ...
Its too darn hot !
Its too darn hot !
I'd like to sup with my baby tonight
Refill the cup with my baby tonight
But brother you can have my baby tonight
Cause it's too darn hot !!
I called into the Kinsey report
Every average man, you know,
Prefers his lovey-dovey to court
When the temp-per-ture is low.
Cause when the thermometer goes way up
And the weather is sizzling hot
Mister pants (wheeze, wheeze)
For romance
Is NOT.
It's too darn hot !
I'd like to sup with my baby tonight
Refill the cup with my baby tonight
But brother you can have my baby tonight
Cause its too darn hot
Its
Too !
Darn !!
Hot !!!
