Yes, it is, again. 33 centigrades and rising. There is a classic jazz song about the dog days of summer. I never actually thought about the lyrics more than the chorus of the song but now I took my time and did some research. The song is about how men don't really want to 'coo with' their babies when it's too hot. The message is even supported by some scientific research called the 'Kinsey Report'. The word 'darned' is an old school swear word (a mild one). Nowadays 'damn' is used instead, although in some dialects you can still hear 'darned', especially if someone wants to sound a bit snobbish.
If you like tapdancing, check out this censored version (no mention of the good ol' Kinsey Report) for some excellent dancing.
