Summertime

[Purron]

Just another excuse to post vids Summer's here. What's your favorite song about summer? It's hot as [-]hell[/-] all get out here in Virginia.

On my list....

YouTube - Don Henley - The Boys Of Summer

 

[NW-Bound]

YouTube - Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong - Summertime

Summertime, and the living is easy
Fish are jumping, and the cotton is high​

This is one of my all-time favorites, although the livin' ain't easy in this dry heat of the AZ low desert. Yes, we have cotton fields outside of the metropolitan. But I don't see no fish jumpin'. Don't even have a river, man!

We need to get out of town soon, I hope. Temperature of 112F later this week.

Shall I post a French song?

Nah. I do not feel like spending time to translate the lyrics, particularly in a non-literal way to keep the poetic aspect of it.

Mais oui, certainment. Il ne faut pas que vous traduisiez.

So post it anyway, and trust us. I think it is free.

Summertime, Summertime by the Jamies. 1958? 1959? Too ancient for YouTube?

A time just for planting
A time just for ploughing
A time to be courting
A girl of your own
...
T'was so good to be young then
To be close to the earth
Now the green leaves of summer
Are calling me home​

Wow! Thanks for that! I've never seen that performance before.

Oboe and Janis - phenomenal and unexpected combo, cool having the Hammond organ in that too.
