What song says "summer" to you?

[HughJackman'n'me]

"School's Out" by Alice Cooper

"V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N in the Summer Sun" (I don't know who it's by, but it's an 'oldie')

"[There Ain't No Cure for the] Summertime Blues" by the Who

ANY Springsteen song!

 

[missypie]

Towncrier, you used to go visit grandparents in Anna, IL? That's where my mom always said we would drive her to (as in "You kids are going to drive me to Anna!") because that is where the mental institution was!

I LOVE that song!!

How about Summertime Blues

I think we're alone now from the summer of 1967. That was a VERY good year.

Dirty Water from 1966 (another very good year)

Break my Stride from 1983 (yup, that was a great year!)

Connie Francis. A great singer and a great oldie!

Summertime in the LBC. It's a 90s song, and I can't remember who sang it.

I'm pretty sure that was done by Sublime.

Anything by Jimmy Buffet, Beach Boys, Sublime, and Bob Marley

and a cruise mix I made of stuff like "Up Up Up" and "Hey Baby" that they played a lot on last year's cruise

Man I loved that song. I downloaded that on my computer and now I listen to it all the time. I still remember most of the dance moves to it as well.

Here's a few more...

Under The Boardwalk by the Drifters..
I Love Beach Music
Up On the Roof
Carolina Girls
Sand In My Shoes
With This Ring (I Promise I'll Always Love You)


In SC, they call this beach music, and they do the "shag" to it.

It's the state dance, but I wonder if it will make it through the filter...

I always think Cruel Summer by Bannanarama...I know, I am so stuck in the 80's!

 

[jimmalru80]

"Independence Day" and "Jersey Girl" by Springsteen.

 

[Kim&Chris]

A one-hit-wonder called "Beach Baby" by First Class. Reminds me of trips to the Jersey shore (Wildwood!) as a pre-teen.

"Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves.

 

[orvilleair]

Well, thanks to MTV it has to be

"Be my sunshine" by Len.

I think the song came out four or five years ago, and the video was shot on some sort of Boardwalk.



At work, listen to some mellow music.

"The Sea" by Morcheeba

Left my soul there, down by the sea
I lost control here, living free
