BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1984
Front Cover
“September Song” is an American pop standard composed by Kurt Weill, with lyrics by Maxwell Anderson. It was introduced by Walter Huston in the 1938 Broadway musical Knickerbocker Holiday, which enjoyed only moderate success and closed after six months. The song has since been recorded by numerous singers and instrumentalists. It was used in the 1950 film September Affair, and the popularity of the film caused Huston’s recording to hit the top of the 1950 hit parade. It was used as the music for the credits in the television series May to December (a quote from the opening line of the song).
Ian McCulloch, of Echo & the Bunnymen, released a version of the song as a solo single which reached number 51 on the U.K. Singles Chart in 1984 . McCulloch’s single was backed with a rendition of “Muscles And Cockles” also known as “Molly Malone”.
