"Summer In The City" #1 8/13/1966

Perhaps one of the all-time great summer songs, this was the only #1 record for the Lovin' Spoonful. It contains various sounds of the city, like a jackhammer and a Volkswagen Beetle horn. Our video has scenes of wild chases through crowded city streets and features silent film comedian Harold Lloyd, known for such things. He was a Mason and a Shriner (as am I) and Harold was Past Potentate of Al-Malikiah Shrine Temple in Hollywood. That building is now owned by Disney and is currently used for Jimmy Kimmel's late night TV show.
