"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!

Summertime Blues was originallyh done by Eddie Cochran. But, I agree, it's a summer song.

Good Vibrations - Beach Boys

Any Springsteen song? Really? Even "Highway Patrolman"? "The Ghost of Tom Joad"?

"She's Real Fine, My 409 - My 4444400000099999....." Guess where I went to high school......

The Escape by Rubert Holmes (sp?) for some reason makes me think of summer as well.

They don't come on the radio, but songs I sang as a camp staffer.

Anything from Mannheim Steamroller - A Fresh Aire Christmas and "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" but then I am kind of a procrastinator. At Christmas I listen to "In the Summertime" by Mungo Jerry and "Magneto & Titanium Man" by Wings.

The song that says summer to me is that old Gershwin classic, "Summertime". Peter Gabirel does a really powerful cover of it on the "Glory of Gershwin" CD. Courtney Pine also does a cover on theat CD. I highly reccommend the CD for your listening pleasure, Sir EJ does two covers, Someone To Watch Over Me and Our Love Is Here To Stay.

I just heard another song I had forgot about, Sheryl Crow's 'Soak Up the Sun',, not sure that's the title of the song,, but I think everyone knows it.

Chattahoochee - Alan Jackson
Summertime - DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince
Young - Kenny Chesney
Someday - Sugar Ray
Boys of Summer - Don Henley (or The Ataris, which did a pretty good cover)
Pure Shores - All Saints
Soak Up the Sun - Sheryl Crow
Pretty Girls Don't Cry - Chris Isaak

There are a bunch of others, but those are the ones that stick out in my mind the most.

That is what I thought of immediately. Isn't summer without it.
