The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the First Day o' Summer

"The cruel, hot summer
led into the long, hard fall,
becoming the dark, killing winter
until spring replenished us all."
—Bill Willingham, Fables

The Summer Solstice
Fountains of Wayne, "It Must Be Summer" from Utopia Parkway (Mike Papa Whiskey)

Commentary:

"It must be summer, 'cause the days are long,

"It must be summer, 'cause the streets are bare,
And I try your number, but you're just not there…"
