Favorite Summer Song

Here's mine. From my favorite summer in music: 1966.

 

Great thread!

I'm in a pub in Croatia watching football on vacation and hope this link sounds alright.

 

Jonathan Richman - That Summer Feeling

 

Quite sure i will be slammed for at least 487 reasons, and 488 of these will be right, but without going too back in time i like that:

 

Songs about summer, or songs that were released in the summer? "Boys of Summer" by Don Henley came out in the dead of winter in 1985, but the lyrics reflected that bleakness.

There are songs that mention summer and those that I associate with summer due to when they were hits. I did a post on Pop Culture Safari blog last year focused on summertime hits. Might be of interest to those here:

Radio Birdman - Aloha Steve and Danno

 

Going really back... that:

 

Summer 1985

 

A few years ago I read an interesting article on how the prognosticators try to determine the song of the summer. That year, most bets were on "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen, and of course, they turned out to be correct.

 

Summertime Blues ...

 

yo la tengo - the summer
hüsker dü - celebrated summer

Pretty good ones on this thread so far.
I'll add Joe Satriani Summer Song

 

The Cars Magic

 

A lot of Beach Boys songs belong here!

He gets mad when people say it's about baseball.

 

From one of the most pivotal and musically rich summers ever -- 1967 -- come on baby "Light My Fire".

 

Fun Fun Fun - The Beach Boys
