For those not experiencing temperatures beyond 100 degrees, and with 85% humidify, excuse this indulgence.

Songs about “heat” that are really about lust, love, or a combination of both are plentiful. Finding a song referring to heat as an atmospheric condition is more difficult.
I love the song and the City Of San Francisco. Unlike LA's flat, hazy atmosphere, Francisco has a pure air...and the elevation; the numerous hills; and up and down (some at steep degree) streets...Twin Peaks...No need for a shrink!

maven's note:Thank you all for your appreciation and awesome comments. Some are straight shot to the heart...The unexpected attention for this image came as mixture of surprise and rewarding for I really busted my S taking over hundred exposures, while standing in the middle of the most crowded street (Market St.) in SF, receiving the "Get the hell out of the way, lens-eyes!" look from bus drivers and other traffickers. Where the Police has no saying in this situation you deal with Moffos who have no tolerance for such activity and, ignoring the fact that such activities promoting the city as a Global Tourism, stuffing their already-balloon-faces with BigMacs and Donuts with the money ungratefully earned from the tourists. However, I still think, we have it a lot better than most European cities i.e. London, where the Police is your worst nightmare. In the UK, a Policeman (City-donut-ass-cop is the US term) can confiscate your camera or pay a visit to your home...here, he'd be literally shot in his Donut- butt!

"Hot In The City"

Lyrics by Billy Idol

Stranger, stranger, stranger, stranger

It's hot here at night, lonely, black and quiet
On a hot summer night
Don't be afraid of the world we made
On a hot summer night

'Cause when a long-legged lovely walks by
Yeah you can see the look in her eye
Then you know that it's

Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight

Stranger, stranger

For all the dreams and schemes,
people are as they seem
On a hot summer night
Don't be no fun, don't forget you're young
On a hot summer night
