Cheerful pop lyric analysis of the week: As the singer of Chad & Jeremy's "A Summer Song" is saying goodbye to his summer love, he pictures himself in the winter months ahead, looking back on how happy he was in the summer, a real telescoping, time-travelling moment of seeing the ultimate demise of something while it's still alive, quite a deep topic for a seemingly wimpy pop song. And you thought the Cardigans were bleak.
