At 8:48 a.m. EDT in New York, it is 10 degrees outside with a -4 wind chill. So I don’t care how spectacularly literal-minded the selection might be: today’s FReedy FRiday entry is Pretend It’s Summer. I’m pretending, alright. Pretending like a FOX.

The song deserves a better introduction that my numb fingers, chapped nose and wind-whipped jowls can currently provide. So I’ll just present one of its lovely lyrical triplets and get the hell out of the way: “Now the ice has had its way/And you’re off somewhere who can say/I pick flowers in the snow all day…” Buy Pretend It’s Summer here.
