Songs that make you think of summer.

Summer songs! Summer is most peoples favorite time of the year. Chillaxing, and doing nothing all day, but more importantly, the music.

List your favorite summer songs that take you back to a particular summer in your life.

OMC- How Bizarre...I don't know, but hearing this song immedietely takes me back to the summer of 97' when I was going to Jones Beach on an August day.

"summer music" is usually just shitty pop music.

And summer is too hot to be any sane person's favorite time of the year.
