Yes, this was on in my car today.

NYT: Do You Remember the 21st Night of September? These Couples Will. “The weekend closest to Sept. 21 is always my busiest weekend of the year,” she said, “and that’s because of the Earth, Wind & Fire song.”

I love, love, love these, and I always think of Adejuyugbe and his utterly fabulous series when September rolls around.

Thank you for posting this, kirkaracha!

I am at Addams Family Jr right now and they had Granny singing the song outta nowhere. We screamed, we died!

This morning I was randomly singing this song because it popped into my head. I said to Mrs. Conifer..."Wait, what's the date?" Then I had to look up the song online because I convinced myself it was about the 23rd night of September. Imagine my surprise!
I've said for years that it should be a worldwide holiday with a big party because it's a great song by a better band and because...why not?

The song is also featured in an utterly charming fashion in Robot Dreams. Director Pablo Berger's daughter was born on Sept. 21 and while the rights were expensive, it was important to him.

Robot Dreams is great and you should watch it.

The last video Demi made is a good reminder that - September is just a really damn good song.

(Another fun callout to the song - when Earth, Wind, and Fire got the Kennedy Center Honors, they ended the whole ceremony that year with a bunch of stars singing it.)

Demi’s videos have brought ridiculous amount of joy into the world. I totally get why he’s stopped but oh man I’d be stoked to see another new one.

Because I love Adejuyigbe so much (he writes for all the best stuff! he wrote for The Good Place! he writes for Amber Ruffin!), I have these rejected lyrics to Succession in my pocket.
