I realize it's a bit of a cliche to dust off this ol' warhorse here at the ass-end of July, but it fits the bill. Moreover, this particular video (not that they were called "videos" at the time, but rather nebulous, rarely-seen promotional film strips) fleetingly features some footage of Manhattan circa 1966. I want to say I recognize the park they're horsing around in as Riverside Park on the Upper West Side, but I might be wrong.
There have been myriad covers of this tune -- everyone from Joe Cocker through Regina Spektor. My favorite remains the one by the British indie band EAT from the early 90s (sadly no longer on YouTube). Either way, this one's the original.
In any case, .... stay cool.
