The months of the year

[Pacion]

After "messing" about with GR in the Salsa or Mambo poll :lol: it occured to me that there are quite a few songs/poems with at least one month mentioned. Can you think of any/name any? Relevant extracts appreciated :D Movies titles will count to :wink:

[Genesius Redux]

T.S. Eliot, "The Wasteland":

April is the cruelest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing\
Memory with desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.

Chaucer, "The General Prologue" to "The Canterbury Tales":

What that April with his shoures soote.
The droght of March hath perced to the roote.
And bathed every veyne in swich licour
Of which vertu engendred is the flour...

Spenser, "The Shepheardes Calendar" (Has all the months)

Songs:

"September Song"
"April in Paris"
"How About You" ("I love NY in June...How about you?")
"The Christmas Song" never mentions the month, I don't think.
"I'll Remember April"
"Yankee Doodle Dandy"

All I have time for--off to rehearsal!

No particular month. But how about "Lazy, Hazy, Crazy days of Summer" ?

Made by many, but Nat King Cole is the one that comes to mind.

[pygmalion]

Oh yeah, then there'sthe Earth, wind and Fire song. Do you remember? "September"

Then there's the traditional American folk song "June is Bursting out all over"

There's that Chicago song that mentions "Oh what a night/late December back in 63". And there's a song by a great Kiwi group called Dragon :) called "April Sun In Cuba" which is all about escaping the dreary winter. But I think GR's got plenty of the April ones covered with his post! Oh, and there's that rock-n-roll kinda one called Calendar Girl that definitely mentions the first few months but I don't recall if it goes beyond March or April. Why do you want to know, IYDMMA?
