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.

I agree with your first point. However, your second point is :wtf: . Summer= no school, vacations, relaxing=good times.

Dj Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince - Summertime

LFo - Summer Girls

I relax all the time and school is easy.

Ataris/Don Henley - Boys Of Summer

Sublime

The Libertines - Don't Look Back Into The Sun

New kids on the block had a bunch of hits, chinese food makes me sick

LA woman by the doors always reminds me of summer for some reason.

And there's always that song from Len. Steal my sunshine or something. I went to Venice Beach a couple of summers ago and that's all I heard. At restaurants, stores etc...
