Summertime Songs ---> Let's post our favs
 

With Summertime rapidly approaching I am eagerly awaiting my favorite summertime songs to start airing.
Why not get a head start on that groove by posting your favs here too?

Here is one by Chuck Prophet ~ Summertime Thing
It got some airplay about seven summers ago and then it faded away.
I have always held on to it since then so I can trot it out this time of year.

Obviously the lyrical masterpiece Summer Girls by LFO.

Joe Satriani's Summer Song is a great one.

The Who - Summertime Blues

Seals and Crofts: Summer Breeze. The perfect summer lounging song.

Queens of the Stoneage - Feel good hit of the Summer

Allman Bros......Blue Sky

Ash - Oh Yeah

Totally just takes me back to Summers of my youth every time.

Husker Du - Celebrated Summertime

Okay, it was way overplayed in the year it was released, but I still enjoy Steal My Sunshine by Len.

Of course...

Boys of Summer - Don Henley

Going back a bit, Summer in the city & What A Day For A Daydream - The Lovin' Spoonful

Sheryl Crow - Soak Up The Sun

Last year's summer song for Portugal was undoubtedly this:


All the clubs pumping it out.

Sorry little tippler but the seeqpod bbcode doesn't seem to be working.
Can you try it again?

(Aaah thanks for fixing that darlin' ;))

heh. Me is trying...not working.

Ok this should work easier - though it takes up more space.

shazaaaaam! cyn, you rock.

Thanks little_tippler; I can appreciate the song even more with the video!

Anything Pop Punk.

Queens of the Stoneage, a good one

Mungo Jerry's "In the summertime", Lovin' Spoonful's "Summer in the City, and any Beachboy song.

et moi et moi et moi



comme un con de parisien
j'attends mon cheque fin de mois....

No one's going to say "Summertime" by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince? What the hell's wrong with you people? :)

I feel the same way about "Hot Fun in the Summertime" by Sly & the Family Stone!

"Chattahoochee" by Alan Jackson

and MY FAVE "Summertime Blues" by Alan Jackson The video is awe inspiring.

/me loves me big trucks. The muddier the better. My hubby is a fanatic about bathing the damn things, keeping them sparkling clean. I say a quick run through the creek is clean enough, and a hell of alot more fun! Especially if you can take a dip yourself with an overalls-clad man wearing a cowboy hat. Yum!

A dirty truck is a well loved truck.

Still looking for a t-shirt that has a picture of a big big truck that reads "Size Matters!"

Can't go wrong with a little Gershwin, reinterpreted.




Always makes me think of summers here. Hot and muggy, but things are good.

This always makes me think of summer as well. It's so languorous and sultry.

Toadies - Possum Kingdom

Ok, this one probably isn't considered a summertime song by anyone but me, but I always love to drive with the top down and crank it up, something that can only be done here in Michigan during the summer.

Janes Addiction, "Summertime Rolls" ... actually almost any Jane's Addiction is good for rolling the windows down on the first nice and warm Summer day.

Anything by Queens of the Stone Age, for some reason they remind me of summer.

This second one isn't about summer, but I can't think of any other season when I hear it.

i'm with you, this one rocks!

Might as well be winter without this track.



Classic.

Not too sure why the following list reminds me of summer, but it just does. Nothing like opening a window on a summer night with a cool breeze going through and putting on one of the following :).

Don't Fear the Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult
Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Anything by Alexisonfire
Anything by Blink-182
Anything by Rush

PS. How could I forget some Boards of Canada, my absolute favourite group of all time!

Favorite summer driving song:
Reelin in the Years by Steely Dan

I remember that! you're right. Weren't they from Woodbridge?


How about Sunny Days by Lighthouse:
