September Sing-A-Long

Some folks have told me my taste for pop music is so ancient, it makes them cry. I admit to the fact.

But what the heck. On my last trip to P.I, some relatives were able to convince me to buy the Magic Sing Karaoke.

So from time to time, I would lock myself in the bedroom, and belt out some tunes, after having made sure that the doors and windows are all shut. I don't want no cops knocking at the door.

What I found is this. Four songs contained the word September in their lyrics? So, what's so special about September?

It's the end of Summer, a season so..ooo loved by North Americans, and the beginning of Fall, of going back to the routine of one's life.

September Morn - by Neil Diamond
September morn
We danced until the night became a brand new day
Two lovers playing scenes from some romantic play
September morning still can make me feel this way

Sealed with a Kiss - by Brian Hyland
I don't wanna say goodbye for the summer
Knowing the love we'll miss
Oh let us make a pledge
To meet in September
And seal it with a kiss

See You in September by Fabares Shelley
Bye, baby, goodbye (bye-bye, so long, farewell)
Bye, baby, goodbye (bye-bye, so long)
Have a good time but remember
There is danger in the summer moon above
Will I see you in September
Or lose you to a summer love

When Summer is Gone by Gary Lewis and the Playboys. Remember Gary Lewis who married a Fil girl, Jinky Suzara, but now separated from her? Here are the lyrics.

I'll see you in September when summer is gone
Have a good time but, remember,
I'll be waiting back home
And when you go out dating with some guy all alone
Just remember I'll be waiting when summer is gone
When a warm June night surrounds you
Don't fall under his spell
When he puts his arms around you
Remember that I love you so well
And I'll see you in September when summer is gone
Have a good time but, remember,
Come back to me when summer is gone
When a warm June night surrounds you
Don't fall under his spell
When he puts his arms around you
Remember that I love you so well
And I'll see you in September when summer is gone
Have a good time but, remember,
Come back to me when summer is gone

What about October, November or December? Still, they're Fall months, but rarely heard in songs.
