Okay, I do this with some reluctance, but I am sick of cold weather, and this song, California Dreaming by the Mamas and the Papas, came to mind. I know they are something of a cliche, but the song brings back pleasant memories. I searched in vain for a non-lip synched version, but could find none. There was no attempt, in this video, to even try to match the words with the action. The advantage, I guess, is that the audio is excellent. In looking around I caught a portion of an interview with John Phillips in which he said that they were a studio band, which may explain the lack of a good concert version. Anyway, here they are:

Now, I can’t resist reproducing this comment that was on the youtube page where this video is displayed:
