July, 1984
As July, 1984 gets under way, MTV is airing a new video from California musician - and former keyboardist for the band 'Rainbow' - Tony Carey. The video, for the song 'First Day of Summer', is a great one, with plenty of 80s culture on display, as well as being a great song in its own right.
'First Day of Summer' was one of the tracks on Carey's 1984 album Some Tough City, which contains a number of other noteworthy tracks, too, such as 'A Fine Fine Day'.
Even today, some Midwest radio stations will put the song into rotation as Summer gets underway......
Well, the kid and me
Were the team to beat
We could stand with the big boys
Generate some heat
And we never thought nothing
'Bout living on the street back then
Yes, and we lied a little
And we maybe stole some
Saying, Southern California
Here we come
And we took off
Down the highway saying
Never going back again
It was on the
First day of summer
We were the number one
Out front runner
On the first day of summer
Nothing feels the same
And it feels so good
It was on the first day of summer
On the first day of summer
On the first day of summer
The whole world knows your name
And it feels so good
Now the kid was driving
And I rode shotgun
We were splitting up the money
From our number ones
Beating time to the radio
Yes, I'm gonna be someone
Camping by the road
Out in Santa Fe
The kid stole the keys
And then he drove away
And I wound up washing dishes
In a Holiday Inn
Sometime I wonder
What became of him
It was on the
First day of summer
We were the number one
Out front runner
On the first day of summer
Nothing feels the same
And it feels so good
It was on the first day of summer
It was on the first day of summer
On the first day of summer
The whole world knows your name
Don't it feel good
It was on the first day of summer
On the first day of summer
On the first day of summer
The whole world knows your name
