This isn't really a video -- it's an audio track of an energetic reggae version of The Lovin' Spoonful's Summer in the City, which surprisingly lacks good cover versions. (Sorry, Joe Cocker.)

Yes, I've watched them all on this hot night. The strangest video of the tune, by far, is by the Danish group UFO Yepha...

Inner Circle made this tune their own in 1980. (The Jamaican band is best known for the song Bad Boys -- the theme song of the Cops TV show.)

Later: It's a good day to pretend to be in Jamaica, with Providence heading for August heat and humidity records. Waking up this morning, I played this ditty and stopped resisting.
