single, 1962
Written by Dewey Terry and Don Harris
A doo-wop song with a fast-paced talking vocal that crams each line with a lot of syllables. The lyrics are a goofy play on how hot it is outside. "My wife told me to go out a cut the grass / I thought I'd lay down a bit just to let the sun pass / I saw an ant carrying a piece of bread as big as me / He was sweatin' so hard, so I put him out of his misery." It's not exactly earth-shaking music, but it's a fun song. Not everything can be U2 or Pink Floyd.
