The song was written Sammy Cahn, who did the lyrics, and Jule Styne who composed the music, in the summer of 1945. It just happened to be a brutal heat wave in southern California that summer and Sammy comically imagined a cooler climate.

The song follows the Jazz Standard progression of AABA. Old jazz standards don’t follow a verse chorus format, they play something called AABA format. A is an 8 bar loops that will play two times before B, a new 8 measure harmony and melody before returning to A to finish the song. This format was very popular with old jazz standards think “What a Wonderful World" or "Can't Help "Falling in Love" which actually stretches it out to an AABABA format. The song is fairly straight forward in terms of harmony and melody, we are in the key of F but we also make us of the G major chord and the E minor, the rest of it is diatonic. Most people remember Dean Martin singing this song but it has also been preformed by Jessica Simpson, Micael Bublé and the cast of Glee as well.
