Song of the Day: Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days of Summer, music by Hans Carste, English lyrics by Charles Tobias, was first recorded in German (with lyrics by Hans Bradtke) by Austrian singer Willy Hagara. It is the Top Ten hit by Nat King Cole—the title track to his 1963 album—that is most memorable. With this song’s global roots, we mark the beginning of the XXXIII Olympiad, which opens today in Paris, France. Check out the original Hagara version and Cole’s classic rendition [YouTube links].
