History Highlight:

Today in 1966, the Lovin' Spoonful started a three-week run at No. 1 on the U.S. singles chart with "Summer In The City." The song features a series of car horns during the instrumental bridge, starting with a Volkswagen Beetle horn, and ends up with a jackhammer sound, in order to give the impression of the sounds of an urban summer.
