It was my daughter's Summer Concert this morning featuring adorable children belting out many sun- and summer-themed songs. Until today I'd never realised what pro-parent propaganda the lyrics to this song were...

Originally an aria written by the outstandingly talented George Gershwin for his 1935 English language opera 'Porgy & Bess'. This jazz version of the lullaby is the standout cover though in my opinion (alongside Billie Holiday, of course), as the amazing Ella & Louis pump it full to bursting with soulful emotion. An all-time great. #OperaWeek

If you can name another song that captures the lazy summer heat so well then you're a goddam liar you are.
