The game's question
Take the story at your own pace. The name often shows up right behind the tune.
August 1966. The sidewalks are hot, the windows are wide open, and a fan hums in the corner. On the radio, a song about the heat of the city: “Summer in the City.” It reached No. 1 on August 13, 1966. Chances are you heard it with every window open. Circle the band’s name together.
- The Mamas & the Papas
- The Lovin’ Spoonful
- The Monkees
Need a hint?
Their name ends with a kitchen measure: as much as a spoon can hold. The first word is a warm feeling, sung the easy way.
