Yes, Arlo; we have beer.
It is indeed hazy and lazy down here in Dixie. Summer here reminds me of a refrain in the song by the Oak Ridge Boys;
♬It’s just an ordinary story ’bout the way things go♬
♬’Round and around nobody knows but the highway♬
♬Goes on forever, that ol’ highway rolls on forever.♬
They’re eating some monster pretzels there.
Weird to think of Nat King Cole as classic music sometimes….. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OZrNDtRltg
I never ask that question when it comes to big, soft pretzels. I always ask that question when it comes to small, dry pretzels.
Oooh. Slice the pretzel in half, toast the cut side on the grill, and use it as a burger bun.
“It seems that summer will always be here!”
Global what?
Well, yeah, for me you need to let me know what the tune is. Sorry, you know I’m obtuse.
under the boardwalk, down by the sea…the people walking above sprinkle sand down on me…under the boardwalk, out of the sun, under the boardwalk…
Summer time and the livin is easy…
When this song was out I can remember standing on a ladder next to my father painting the house.
Are those soft pretzels? Where’s the mustard?
my summers were more of, Summer in the City by the Lovin’ Spoonful
One of my three favorite songs about summer along with “Summer Sounds” and “In the Summertime”

I hate summer, but Will Smith helps make it bearable:

One of my favorite summer tunes….Lovin’ Spoonful..‘Rain on the Roof’
Pretzels? One of the two major food groups! The other? Why, BEER, of course!
Buy him some peanuts and Cracker Jack, Janis.
That’s a very specific list of food items. I suspect Charles Tobias wrote this after (or perhaps even during) an event where that’s exactly what was on the menu.
Everytime I hear Seals And Crofts Summer Breeze I flash back to the early 70’s
I love that Nat King Cole song!
Sunday Cynical?…..Very Un-JJ …..Hey… All us ‘old-guys’ deserve a Mulligan once in a while… k
Sounds like a lament about global warming to me.
what about the other verse about girls in their bikinis? Arlo would appreciate that!
That’s what you get for living in the South. Been there Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Kentucky, done that. That’s why I retired to SoCal.
I’m sure you can scare up a burger or a hot dog somewhere.
Apologies to Nat King Cole
I would hope so….
Not according to the song.
Check your picnic basket. Should have sandwiches and weenies.
