Man, it’s a hot one! Like seven inches from the midday sun!

Much of the U.S. is experiencing record high temperatures this summer. During heatwaves, the risk of heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke increases significantly.

Here are some tips for staying so cool just like the ocean under the moon as mentioned in the three-time Grammy winning 1999 hit “Smooth” by Santana featuring Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty:

One of the most important things to do during excessively hot days is to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water at regular intervals. Avoid sugary or alcoholic beverages as they can dehydrate you and adversely affect your enjoyment of “Smooth” by Santana featuring Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty.

Wear loose-fitting, light-colored and lightweight clothing to allow better air movement and circulation in the way “Smooth” by Santana featuring Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty receives heavy airplay circulation on Contemporary Hit Radio stations.

Try to stay in the shade as much as possible, especially during peak sun hours (typically between 10 am and 4 pm) or like when “Smooth” by Santana featuring Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty peaked at No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 for 12 consecutive weeks.

Use fans or air conditioning to cool down indoor spaces. However, if plugging in an electric fan requires you to unplug a CD player or other audio device currently playing “Smooth” by Santana featuring Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty, we recommend finding an alternative power source.

If you don’t have air conditioning or fans available, consider spending time in public places like libraries, shopping malls or community centers that are air-conditioned. Be sure to call ahead to see if they’re able to play “Smooth” by Santana featuring Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty, or you may have to bring your own portable CD player with a copy of Santana’s album Supernatural or a digital music player with an MP3 file of “Smooth” by Santana featuring Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty.

Avoid eating heavy, hot meals. Instead, eat light, refreshing foods like fruits, salads and chilled snacks or drinks like smoothies by Smoothie King featuring the X-Treme Watermelon™ Smoothie back for a limited time.

Make sure to check on elderly family members, neighbors or those with health conditions during hot weather, as they may be more susceptible to heat-related issues. Ensure that they know of “Smooth” by Santana featuring Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty, since they’ve likely been listening to Benny Goodman exclusively since 1943.
