Let’s start with some quick Q and A about the golden oldie, “See You in September.”

Q: Re: that opening line, “I’ll be alone each and every night” – was that actually true in most cases?

A: Sadly, it was not. Frisky young people would head home from college for the summer and, well, I guess I don’t need to paint you a picture.

Q: Does the line “While you’re away, don’t forget to write” refer to text-messaging or to twittering?

A: Neither. You have to remember, this song was first recorded almost 50 years ago. That lyric alludes to something called letter writing. It was big in its day.

Q: What is meant by, “Have a good time, but remember/There is danger in the summer moon above”?

A: It means it is OK to play tennis and what not, but no doin’ the nasty.

Q: Is the line “Yes, it’s gonna be a cold, lonely summer” chiefly a meteorological allusion?

A: No. But that’s a different song.
