It's May 13th and I woke up to below freezing temperatures here. I thought I'd at least fire up some songs that made it feel like summer today.

So what songs stir up those special summer memories for you or just make you feel like it's a lazy hot summer afternoon and you're chillin' by the pool with a mojito in your hand?

Here's one that does it for me... Chuck Prophet and "Summertime Thing":

Alice Cooper - Schools Out For Summer

I'm 39 years old but I still think of this song every time summer kicks in.  It was our anthem through middle school and high school.

Boston, More than a Feeling. Almost anything from their first album, actually.

It came on Pandora yesterday while my BIL and I were painting his beach house and it fit the mood perfectly.

I'm going Sly and the Family Stone, "Hot Fun in the Summertime". Sorry the clip is mashed with "Wanna take you Higher". OK; I'm not sorry for the extra awesomeness! Boom-lacka-lacka-lacka!

Van Halen's "Summer Nights."  (off of 5150?)

That one tune that Love and Rockets did back in the day reminds me of Summer...and a stripper, but that's a different story.

"I'm Alive" or "No New Tale To Tell"?

Both are awesome songs.

Don Henley -  The Boys of Summer

 

During college, it was on the radio nearly EVERY time I made the two hour drive back to Madison late at night.   Just reminds me of driving on those late summer nights with the windows down

Already quite a few good ones listed but I'd like to add a couple of my favourites:

Mungo Jerry - In the Summertime

Canned Heat - Going up the Country

                    - On the Road Again

Eric Burdon - Spill the Wine

Deep Purple - Hush           And for something a bit more recent:

Jack Johnson - To the Sea

I don't think this is an all time best but it is a decent summer song, IMO anyways.

Yeah, was it So Alive?  It kind of oozes sexuality.  It reminds me of summertime.

Good call by Spottedcow too.  The Boys of Summer by Don Henley.  Great tune.
