What's the big deal about today?

Seriously..  why?  And someone needs to buy Neil Diamond a calendar.  He's 17 or 18 days off..

Yello - This is the third of June, nineteen eighty eight 

Neil Diamond - It was the 3rd of June, on that summers day..

Bobbie Gentry - It was the third of June. Another sleepy, dusty, delta day

Corey Hart - Oh, Dance with me, Under a bright moon, Third of June

Ian Hunter - Well, I was born on the 3rd of June, Hard labor, Gemini moon


 


Madness takes its toll.  Please have exact change.

I'm guessing simple poetry might be some of the excuse.

Re: What's the big deal about today?

Surprisingly, there aren't that many big hits that mention actual dates. A few others that come to mind:

Papa Was A Rolling Stone - It was the third of September, that day I'll always remember  (Temptations)

Saturday In The Park - I think it was the 4th of July (Chicago)

September - Do you remember, the 21st night of September? (Earth, Wind & Fire)

Neil recognizes that June is the only month with no left-over Boxing Month sales at Tom's place or pre-Christmas music on CHFI and AM-740, and cleverly moved summer to fit the void
