I may have missed this one scrolling through, but I can't believe this one hasn't shown up yet!

And a melancholy song by Jan and Dean about the end of a summer romance.

all this 'brasil bossa nova' stuff sounds like summer to me. lol. english kix in around 1:20.

lotsa politics, but no one shoveling snow here, so it makes my cut. I have low standards. lol.

'let's shoot the fat guy on the piano...' hey, I didn't say it, they did.
'let your body feel the heat.' Gloria owns this summery sound.

and another one with a sound as cool as an ocean breeze rolling into the coastal forest on a Connecticut summer's day.

Did this one make it into the list yet?

Yep, it did, I posted it. But its good enough to do an instant re-play.

It might not have a direct summer reference, but this certainly has a summer vibe to it.



And, it was featured in a "Batman" episode!

And here is another from the back of the rack!

This was my jam at the clubs.

Freestyle! What an era for music.

Here's an even more obscure summer-themed freestyle jam.

soooooo nice

After graduating from UCONN I was a bartender at the Holiday Inn in Hartford in the early 70's. Walter worked the lounge all summer. I grew up in Hartford and was into soul music but he was actually pretty entertaining.

In reply to @Hope , I really enjoyed your Walking in the Sand post. But here is the one I remember from way back in eighth grade. They followed this up with "The Leader of the Pack". A truly forgettable classic!
