103 degrees in Dallas! Let's remember one of the greatest "summer teen love" songs!

We are in the middle of a Texas-style summer.

We are not complaining. It may be unbearable but our economy is doing a lot better than the rest of the country.

Today, we remember one of the best "summer heartbreak" songs!

This is a story of a couple of teen lovers who say goodbye at the end of the school year.....("Will I see you in September or lose you to a summer love....")

Actually, "See you in September" is a tune that goes back to the "doo wop" days of rock, i.e. the age of amazing harmonies.

The first version was recorded by The Tempos in 1959. It was revived in "American Graffiti", the 1970s movie about a bunch of teenagers spending their last summer before college:

The second version was by "The Happenings" in 1966. It was more upbeat and the harmonies are great:

"I'll be alone each and every night

While you're away, don't forget to write

Bye-bye, so long, farewell

Bye-bye, so long

See you in September

See you when the summer's through

Here we are (bye, baby, goodbye)

Saying goodbye at the station (bye, baby, goodbye)

Summer vacation (bye, baby bye, baby)

Is taking you away (bye, baby, goodbye)

Have a good time but remember

There is danger in the summer moon above

Will I see you in September

Or lose you to a summer love

(counting the days 'til I'll be with you)

(counting the hours and the minutes, too)

Bye, baby, goodbye Bye, baby, goodbye Bye, baby, goodbye (bye-bye, so long, farewell)

Bye, baby, goodbye (bye-bye, so long)

Have a good time but remember

There is danger in the summer moon above

Will I see you in September

Or lose you to a summer love

(I'll be alone each and every night)

(While you're away, don't forget to write)

See you (bye-bye, so long, farewell)

In September (bye-bye, so long, farewell)

I'm hopin' I'll See you (bye-bye, so long, farewell)

In September (bye-bye, so long, farewell)

Well, maybe I'llSee you (bye-bye, so long, farewell)

In September (bye-bye, so long, farewell)"

P.S. There was an instrumental version of this tune, too:
