All the parents of the children of December have a clutch
'Cause their birthdays are the hardest to remember
When you're born on Christmas or the day before New Year's
They can sing out your birthday, but but but nobody hears

I was lucky, I was born in the summer of Nineteen seventy five
It was as hot as an oven
Families that were lovin each other in November
By April were planning all the new family members, but

Save one for the empirical boy with his empirical toys
The hots wheels the autobots and the decepticons
Everyone's waiting to see what he's worth
But he is invincible like a breeze on the earth

I was holding something
In my hands so tightly
I was afraid to let it go
I was afraid to even know
I was holding something
In my heart so tightly
I was afraid to let it go

Oh when you're born in December
And no one remembers
Well the 90s have ended
So what do you call this decade

I hold every person I meet like a treasure,
I defend the ones I love to whatever the end is
And that's why I take it to you through the music
'Cause when the music's connected it's like everyone's protected

January is for Rosie, god bless Rosie
And February is for Tim
We all know about him
March is for my mama still winin' and dinin'
And April is for my my my my pop
May give the drummer some
June is for the bass
Mine's July July July July July

All the parents of the children of December have a clutch
When you're born on Christmas
Or the day after New Year's
They can sing out your birthday but but but but but but but
Make a little noise
Oh, won't you make a little sound

Oh when you're born in December
And it's hard to remember
Well the 90s have ended
So what do you call this decade

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
