Just wondering how many songs use the months of the year in their titles. Here goes. June In January (Bing Crosby), February Brings The Rain (Julie London), Melancholy March, (Julie London), April Love (Pat Boone), April In Portugal (Les Baxter) and First Of May (Bee Gees).Then there's June Is Busting Out All Over, (Rodgers/Hammerstein), August, October (Robin Gibb), September In The Rain (Frank Sinatra, Carole King) September Morn (Neil Diamond), November Twilight (Julie London), I Can See The Sun In Late December (Stevie Wonder).
Most of the songs were played over the radio, Rediffusion and in cabarets and hotel nightspots during the 60s in Singapore. They were available on vinyl too.
CALENDAR GIRL (N.Sedaka/H.Greenfield)
I love, I love, I love my calender girl
Yeah, sweet calender girl
I love, I love, I love my calender girl
Each and every day of the year
(January) You start the year off fine
(February) You're my little valentine
(March) I'm gonna march you down the aisle
(April) You're the Easter Bunny when you smile
Yeah, yeah, my heart's in a whirl
I love, I love, I love my little calender girl
Every day (every day), every day (every day) of the year
(Every day of the year)
(May) Maybe if I ask your dad and mom
(June) They'll let me take you to the Junior Prom
(July) Like a firecracker all aglow
(August) When you're on the beach you steal the show
Yeah, yeah, my heart's in a whirl
I love, I love, I love my little calendar girl
Every day (every day), every day (every day) of the year
(Every day of the year)
(September) Light the candles at your Sweet Sixteen
(October) Romeo and Juliet on Halloween
(November) I'll give thanks that you belong to me
(December) You're the present 'neath my Christmas tree
Yeah, yeah, my heart's in a whirl
I love, I love, I love my little calender girl
Every day (every day), every day (every day) of the year.
