months in songs
lirazel
new song on my outgoing answering machine message every month but some
months don't have songs that I have been able to find.
December, January and March have been very difficult, in fact, I have
found none, and November only yeilded depressing songs like The Wreck
of the Edmund Fitzgerald and November Rain. February wasn't easy. Any
help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Lirazel

How about "A long December" by the Counting Crows
and Tori Amos has a song on her new album with January in a song, and for
some reason I can't remember the name of it, but it goes, "She was a January
girl, never knew how insane it was, in that tiny kind of scary house by the
woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woooooooods" *smile* ;) Good luck!

Or "Long December" by Counting Crows. The song taken as
a whole can be considered kind of depressing, but just the
chorus ("maybe this year will be better than the last ...")
isn't so much so.

I see someone's already suggested "Calendar Girl" by Neil Sedaka.
I'm curious -- what songs have you decided to use for the other
months of the year?

There's always 'January' by Pilot, and doesn't 'American Pie' by Don
Maclean have the line 'February made me shiver...'?

there is also April in Paris, with a classic version by Count Basie.
"April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom, holiday tables under the trees
April in Paris, this is a feeling no one could ever reprise."
For March, in the song, These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You) there is
the line:
"the winds of March that made my heart a dancer,
a telephone that rings, but who's to answer?
A fairground's painted swings,
these foolish things remind me of you"
For September there is September Song, by Kurt Weill, which also
mentions May, December, and November. It starts out:
"Oh, it's a long, long while from May to December,
but the days grow short when you reach September
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time for the waiting game
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
September, November, December . . ."
Then there is September in the Rain
"The leaves of brown came falling down, do you remember?
That September in the Rain . . ."
Stevie Wonder had a song called Hotter Than July, or maybe it was a line
in a song. Master Blaster? It was kind of a funky reggae beat, but
Hotter Than July was in there somekindofwhichway.
In the song by Cole Porter called You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To there
is a line about August:
You'd be so nice to come to
You'd be so nice by the fire
While the breeze on high, sang a lullaby
You'd be all that I could desire
Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon burning above
You'd be so nice
You'd be paradise, to come home to and love
A really old song, but I remember Zero Mostel was singing it in a very
funny film called The Producers about some crooked producers who wanted
to make a musical on Broadway so bad that it would flop, and they would
pocket all the money from the investors, who owned 1,131% of the
profits. They thought they had a sure fire flop, and Zero and Gene
Wilder were singing it in the bar after the first act of "Sprintime for
Hitler."
"In the light of the silvery moon I want to spoon
With my honey, I'll croon love's tune.
Honeymoon, keep on shining 'til June..."
For Ferbruary, you could use My Funny Valentine, though it doesn't
specifically mention the month, everyone knows Valentine's Day is in
February. It is by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, and now that I
mention it, ironic that a man named Hart wrote the lyrics to My Funny
Valentine.
That is all that I can think of off the top of my head. Hope that helps.
Ciao,
CRC

Calender Girl By Neil Sedaka mentions months
keizer
which classifies 21,000 songs by over 800 subjects, including months of
the year. You'll find 18 about November, 15 on December, 11 on January
and 8 on March. There are many more about the popular months of April,
September and October, as well as hundreds of seasonal songs. You can
order the GB from amazon.com or any major bookseller. The database is
also going online very soon. Hope this helps!
