There's a song and video that inspired today's heading, one that I can never resist at this time of year (fanboy hat firmly on) so here once again is the video for of the song that contains the refrain.... June, June, June, June, June, June, June, July, August. Winter Months... and here it is;

Classic Video:
Skeptics - Agitator　

The Skeptics were a postpunk/experimental band from 1979 to 1990. Their music combined traditional instrumentation with electronic and machine-based rhythm and sound. The Skeptics were pioneers in recording with electronics in New Zealand and as such commanded a devoted listnership through their experimental and innovative musical form.　

Agitator is from the now out of print Skeptics album III, from 1987.
