Nirvana covered the song during their 1993.01.19-21 session in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.


The song was originally titled "Le Moribund" by Jacques Brel. It became a hit in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom after Terry Jacks translated and retitled it as "Seasons In The Sun." The single was released in 1973 and an album by the same name came out in January 1974. (Amazon does not list the album, but Jacks' version of the song can be found on several compilations.)

Lyrics

A Modified Azrin And Foxx Rapid Toilet Training... -

Focus on daytime mastery first; nighttime control often develops naturally later. ⚠️ Important Considerations

The method relies on high-frequency repetition and immediate consequences. A Modified Azrin and Foxx Rapid Toilet Training...

Give the child fluids every 15 minutes to ensure they need to go frequently. The 15-Minute Cycle: Check pants every 15 minutes. If dry, give a small treat and heavy praise. Direct the child to the potty/toilet regardless of "urge." Focus on daytime mastery first; nighttime control often

Have the child help clean up the mess (if age-appropriate) to demonstrate that accidents create "work." 4. Maintenance The 15-Minute Cycle: Check pants every 15 minutes

Once the child initiates going on their own, move from edible treats to verbal praise only.

Use simple, consistent commands like "Keep your pants dry" and "Go pee in the potty." 3. Handling Accidents Neutral Response: Avoid shaming or anger.
