Almost Summer is a 1978 film directed by Martin Davidson, and produced by Motown Productions for Universal Pictures. It is the only Motown theatrical feature not to center on African-American characters. Though not successful at the box office, the film has since acquired a certain degree of historical importance because many observers consider it to be the first of a series of distinctive "youth-genre" films of which other, more prominent examples include Fast Times at Ridgemont High and The Breakfast Club.
Set in a generic Southern California high school, the plot of the film revolves around a student council election, which stirs up assorted petty jealousies among various characters. Most of the soundtrack was written by Mike Love of the Beach Boys and performed by a studio band assembled by Love known as Celebration. The title song, which became a mid-level hit single, opens with the lyrics "Susie wants to be a lady director, and Eddie wants to drive a hearse; Johnny wants to be a doctor or lawyer, and Linda wants to be a nurse" — reflecting a total lack of world-changing idealism on the part of the teenage characters, thus clearly marking them as the first wave of a new generation, which in the fullness of time would receive the label "Generation X."
Almost Summer is the first album release by the Mike Love fronted band Celebration. The album was released in support of the motion picture of the same name. The album included the bands only charting single "Almost Summer" co-written by Love's Beach Boys band mates Al Jardine and Brian Wilson.
Hey! where did you go? I say it's just your fault You can't escape from your fate, But you know that everything that happens is a book that you wrote Hey! where did you go? I know that life's too short Now all of your days are just full of cries But soon you will be able to make up your mind I don't want you to stay, satisfy your desire looking for better days I feel the same way of December Memories of me and you together It's almost summer but I feel way too cold The day that you'll be far From here seems like a star You need to know that you can be the one You are...you are...you are the one Say "I want to run away, I wanna see the dawn of another day" I don't want you to stay, satisfy your desire looking for better days I feel the same way of December Memories of me and you together It's almost summer but I feel way too cold Stay if you wanna, stay Remember why you used to cry You will get on in life It's almost summer but I feel way too cold I wanna run away, I wanna see the dawn of another day I don't want you to stay
