June and the moon

English to Russian Art/Literary Music American songs of the first half of the 20th century
"That was when the Russians were our friends," she said. "When they stopped the Germans at Stalingrad." Rolling down the car window, she rested her arm on the sill. Cold evening wind rushed in, mixing with the warm air from the heater. "When I was growing up," she said, "we sang all the different pop tunes. What was the first one? 'Bei Mir Bist Du Schön.' I was in grammar school. And 'The Lambeth Walk.' We actually believed the different lyrics. Do the kids believe them now?"

"No," he said.

"About June and the moon?"

"No."

"I remember one 11 always thought was beautiful. Do they ever play it anymore? 'I'll Build a Stairway to the Stars.' I liked that about the best. The stuff Jim plays on 'Club 17'. . . I can't get used to Mitch Miller's echo chamber. It's so bloated. And the styles, you can't tell if it's a woman or a man. Like Johnny Ray. And it's everything mixed together, Western and Negro jump and sweet sentimental . . a mishmash."

"Some aren't so bad," he said.

Moon In June - "Июньская луна"

Я полагаю, речь вот об этом:

Soft Machine (103), one of the greatest rock bands of all times, started out with albums such as Volume Two (mar 1969 - apr 1969) that were inspired by psychedelic-rock with a touch of Dadaistic (i.e., nonsensical) aesthetics; but, after losing Allen and Ayers, they veered towards a personal interpretation of Miles Davis' jazz-rock on Three (may 1970 - jun 1970), their masterpiece and one of the essential jazz, rock and classical albums of the 1970s. Minimalistic keyboards a` la Terry Riley and jazz horns highlight three of the four jams (particularly, Hopper's Facelift). The other one, Moon In June, is Wyatt's first monumental achievement, blending a delicate melody, a melancholy atmosphere and deep humanity. Moon In June will remain in the essential canon of music well after rock music has disappeared.

Я о простой рифме тоже вчера подумала. Если время и правда не сопадает, то тогда нужно просто вставить что-то типа "любовь - морковь" или "розы - морозы", "грозы - слезы" или любую вариацию на тему.
Note from asker:
Наташа, я думал об этой версии, но в моем тексте речь идет о песнях первой половины 20 века. Есть версия англофонов, которые полагают, что имеется в виду просто типичное для лирических песен рифмование слов June и moon.

речь об одноименном мьюзикле The Lambeth Walk. Очевидно у песни был альтернативный текст....
Луна фигурирует в другой песне опуса Me And My Girl, но июнь - нет
