I've loved this song since I was young, but I couldn't relate to it because I never lived in a big city. Now that I live in Baltimore, the lyrics just remind me of summers here.
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
People really do walk around the sidewalks looking half dead because it's so hot. And there doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city because it's basically all blacktop with very few trees, sadly.
The most prevalent sound in the summer if you take a walk around my neighborhood is the din of air conditioners humming.
SHOUT OUT TO FUNMILOLA!
SHOUT OUT TO FUNMILOLA!
I love this song! I think the heat makes people crazy...hope it cools off soon!
