OT: Songs About Summer

[meyers7]

You'd think Grant Park, but it's actually Central Park. Probably why it was "Eh Cumpari" instead of a Polka.

Saturday In the Park - Chicago

Fun global surf documentary....anyone remember?

 

[Ozimoto]

When I was a kid, there was always music in the house as the radio was always on when my mom was doing her housework. This one got played a lot.

 

[Ozimoto]

This one from Miami Sound Machine was featured in the movie Top Gun.

Keith Urban. Reminds me of Myrtle Beach - mid seventies.

 

[MdStang]

Chris Rea - "Looking For The Summer".

 

[MdStang]

Amos Lee with a beautiful ballad...

 

[Drumguy]

The Ataris!

This song may not mention summer specifically, but it certainly has summer vibe to it.

 

[Bigboote]

This song may not mention summer specifically, but it certainly has summer vibe to it.

I followed them early on, from when they were the Continental Drifters. I stopped following them when I moved and was no longer in touch with the brother of one of the members. It’s great to hear them again.

I was a mere 10 years old in '59, but I sure remember this great feel good tune about summer:

 

[Scud49]

Bad to Me - popular in the summer of '64, I remember hearing it while I was floating on a raft in this beautiful pond. It was being played from a jukebox in a small dance hall on the shore....and it drifted across the water to me way out there on this raft. Reminds me so, so, much of summer.

 

[Aluminny69]

Don't know if this has been posted, for us oldies, this is the ULTIMATE summer song.

 

[uconnfan68]

The Ataris!

Love the original, and recently heard Henley do a slower acoustic version, but I like this edgier version more than the slow one.

 

[Hoops66]

One of my favorites, yes, Jennifer O'Neill. On D-Day it's very nostalgic.

 

[Kaizen]

 

[Bigboote]

It’s not exactly about the summer, but I always associate being on the water with summer. I love this little ditty by Beach House.

 

[Scud49]

This one says summer to me also:

 

[cuzinvinny]

The best Summer Song EVER, from my youth! I was 18 in 1972...

 

[Drumguy]

Love the original, and recently heard Henley do a slower acoustic version, but I like this edgier version more than the slow one.

Thanks, me too, which is why I chose it over Henley's!

Late 80's club hit.

This is a bit of a stretch. But it's a great song and an even greater movie opening.

 

[Jackcatscal]

Obviously, and Beach Boys song would do. But this one is particularly apropos.
