10. Summer In The City by The Lovin' Spoonful

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

All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright

And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city

Cool town, evening in the city
Dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright

And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city

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

All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright

And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city

7. "Hot Summer Nights" by

It's a Beautiful Day.

[Rambis]

8. I am the god of hell fire!

I am the god of hell f ire and I bring you:
Fire, I'll take you to burn.
Fire, I'll take you to learn.
I'll see you burn!
You fought hard and you saved and learned,
but all of it's going to burn.
And your mind, your tiny mind,
you know you've really been so blind.
Now 's your time burn your mind.
You're falling far too far behind.
Oh no, oh no, oh no, you gonna burn!
Fire, to destroy all you've done.
Fire, to end all you've become.
I'll feel you burn!
You've been living like a little girl,
in the middle of your little world.
And your mind, your tiny mind,
you know you've really been so blind.
Now 's your time burn your mind,
you're falling far too far behind\

Crazy World of Arthur Brown

9. "Long Hot Summer Night" by Jimi Hendrix

It sure was a long long long hot summer night
As far as my eyes could see
Well my heart was way
Down in a cold cold winter storm.

Well my darlin where can you be? where can you be baby?
Where can you be?

There was three sugar walls and a two candy cane windows
But the serious mood melted ah all those insight
Everybodys on fire but Im uh snowin in a cold blizzard.

Where are you on this ah hot cold summer?
Where are you on this ah hot cold summer?
Where are you on this ah hot cold summer night?

Around about this time the telephone blew its horn across the room
Scared little annie clean out of her mind and I tell ya
Roman the candle he peeps out of his peekaboo hide and seek
And grabbed little annie from the ceiling just in time
And the telephone keeps on screamin.
Yeah yeah yeah!

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Hello said my shaked voice, well how you doin I start to stutter look
Ah cant cha tell Im ah doin
Fine there was my baby talkin shes way down cross the border.

She says Im gonna hurry to ya Ive been a fool
And Im tired of cryin
Said Im tired jimi.

Yes a long long long hot summer night
As far as my eyes could see
But I can ah feel the heat comin on as my babys gettin closer.

Im so glad that my babys comin to rescue me
So glad that my babys comin to rescue me
So glad that my babys comin to rescue me
Rescue, rescue me, rescue
Rescue me, rescue
Rescue, rescue, whatd I say
Rescue me, rescue me
Rescue, rescue me, rescue
Rescue me

Cole Porter

12. It's Too Hot...

Too hot, lady
Gotta run for shelter, gotta run for shade...
Kool and the Gang

Heat Wave
We're having a heat wave
A tropical heat wave
The temperature's risin'
It isn't surprisin'
She certain can, can can...
From "Blue Skies"

In the Summertime
In the Summertime
When the weather is fine
You can stretch right up
And touch the sky
When the weather's fine
You got women, you got women on your mind...
Mungo Jerry
