Here is one example, It Might as Well Be Spring. Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein wrote the song for the movie State Fair in 1945. Frank Sinatra sings about having spring fever. This is not a real sickness. It is a feeling of restlessness or excitement brought on by the coming of spring.
Im as restless as a willow in a windstorm,
Im as jumpy as a puppet on a string,
Id say that I had spring fever,
But I know it isnt spring.
I am starry eyed and vaguely discontented,
Like a nightingale without a song to sing.
Oh, why should I have spring fever,
When it isnt even spring?
I keep wishing I were somewhere else,
Walking down a strange new street,
Hearing words I have never heard,
From a girl Ive yet to meet.
Im as busy as a spider, spinning daydreams,
Im as giddy as a baby on a swing,
I havent seen a crocus or a rosebud,
Or a robin or a bluebird on the wing,
But I feel so gay in a melancholy way,
That it might as well be spring,
It might as well be, might as well be,
It might as well be spring.
A sad side to Spring...
