It’s perfect to sing right in the midst of summer, but I also highly recommend it as a track to blow away the muggy air when spring turns into summer.

Tropical nights where the stifling heat won’t let you sleep—that’s the theme of the love song “Nettaiya.” It’s a track by THE YELLOW MONKEY, weaving together the swelter of a tropical night with the rising passion between two people.
