Getting In The Mood....For Summer

What are your all time favorite summer time tunes?

Ok Guys help me but the best summer time mix together for sitting by the pool sipping margaritas...driving with the top down to the cottage....throwing a back yard Bar-B-Q......what songs put you in the mood for summer.


Margaritaville - Jimmie Buffet

 

[Oil Please]

Summer of 69 B. Adams
Boys of Summer D. Henley
Not much more summer than those 2

Lovin' Spoonful - Summer in the City

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright

And babe, don't you know its a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city

Cool town, evening in the city
Dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright

And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city

Sasha,

Anything by the leader of the Coral Reefers is OK by me! I just wish he would come to Toronto again!

PS All 6 slots in my car CD changer at the moment are Mr. Buffett....

 

[Primetime21]

Beautiful Girls by Van Halen.

 

[Ben Hogan]

Obviously A LOT of Beach Boys are in order:

Surfin’ Safari
Catch A Wave
The Warmth Of The Sun
Surfin’ U.S.A.
The Girls On The Beach
All Summer Long
Sloop John B

Walkin' On Sunshine - Katrina & The Waves
Sunny Days - Lighthouse
here Comes The Sun, Good Day Sunshine - Beatles

Perhaps a reggae tune ot two as well is appropriate.

 

[LadysMan10]

bob marley tunes

nothing like a cold beer sitting on the dock with some bob marley playing

 

[soiree]

I also love Summer in the City and Boys of Summer. Boys of Summer is a great video, IMHO.

 

[Oil Please]

Will Smith's song.....Summer time is a great tune on a hot summer afternoon.

School's Out For Summer

 

[luv4lust]

anything by the beach boys

this is a fav of mine

California girls

Well, East coast girls are hip, I really dif those styles they wear,
And the Southern girls with the way they talk, they knock me out when
Im down there.
The Midwest farmers daughter really makes you feel alright,
And the Northern girls, with the way they kiss, they keep their
boyfriends warm at night.

I wish they all could be California,
(wish they all could be California)
I wish they all could be California girls.
The West coast has the sunshine and the girls all get so tan,
I dig a french bikini on Hawiian Island dolls,by a palm tree in the
sand.
I been all round this great big world and I seen all kinds of girls,
yeah, but I couldnt wait to get back in the states,
back to the cutest girls in the world.

[LancsLad]

I've been driving all night
