I dont know about you but some songs just make me in the summer spirit.

What are some songs that just scream summer for you that you foten listen to on the way to the beach or at a pool party etc?

My favorite summer songs are
Jason Mraz - Remedy
Len - Steal My Sunshine
The Ataris - Boys of Summer

Im sure their are plenty more but those are from the top of my head. Does anyone have any others?

Hmm... good question...

The Ataris ~ Boys of Summer
Bon Jovi ~ Runaway
Our Lady Peace ~ Innocent

Yeah and a bunch of others that I just cannot think of right now

Sunday Morning by No Doubt. I'm not sure why, but that song always makes me think of driving around with friends, going to all of the outdoor summer concerts, pool parties, etc.

For forever...

Summertime - Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince

I got another one

Summer of '69 ~ Bryan Adams

GREAT summer song

Are You Gonna Be My Girl? - Jet
Alright - Supergrass

Those are some good ones...Road trips are so much fun in the summer..Especially when ur going to the beach and listening to summer songs.

Beach Boys - Surf in USA

Doin' time - SUBLIME (why no sublime thread by the way?!?!?)
Start of the summer - ASH
Groovy Kind of Love - THE HIPPOS
All Possibilities - BADLY DRAWN BOY
Little Fluffy Clouds - THE ORB
All Mixed Up - 311
L Train - Shootyz Groove
Cricklewood - SNUFF

There loads of others but sadly, I've just developed writer's block!

Ooooh wait, I remember...

Up and Down - SCENT Now those who know me know I hate dance music - but this song is sooo good - I almost feel like bosching a couple of pills right now !!! Brilliant!

Hey Beez, I agree with you why no Sublime thread?

Summertime ~ DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince
Wrong Way & What I Got ~ Sublime
Got the Life ~ KoRn
Battleflag ~ Lo Fidelity All Stars

The Reason by Hoobastank will always remind me of this summer because I hear it EVERYWHERE I GO!!

Crazy in Love by Beyonce will always remind me of last summer because I heard it everywhere I went.

Yeah I know!! Its an absolute travisty!! True Legends.

Willow Tree ~ G Love & Special Sauce
Hummer ~ Smashing Pumpkins
A Certain Shade of Green (acoustic) ~ Incubus

Pardon Me ~ Incubus They were playing that song when the EMT's released me back into the concert.

Beez, I say we open a thread for Sublime, what you think?

I say Okay...!!

just think of it - we could have a tribute thread for Bradley Nowell, another for Louie Dog, Side projects, gigs... awesome!!!

Lets do this!

I am so there!!

I'm almost afraid to say this but Gary Barlow; his first CD...only because one of the best summer holidays I ever had happened when I bought this CD... I think it was probably my last real childhood summer. So everytime I hear his stuff I remided of that summer.

LFO: Summer girl
Nelly: Hot in here (Nelly in general)
Beach Boys
and that about it

Anything by Sublime right now.

How 'bout some reggae?

You simply cant beat a bit of Scientist in this hot weather can you?

Or how about...

Pirate's Fate ~ Dial 7

Gary Barlow

who is he? never heard of him.

OMG! You don't wanna know!!

Or alturnatively... if you do want to know...

Do you remember the original British Boy Band called "Take That"?!?! (including such musical visionaries as Robbie Williams no less!!)

They were like New Kids on The Block but without a cartoon series!!

Anyway soon people realised that listening to powertools is more rewarding - so they mercifully split. Apparently a couple of those miscrients felt they had what it took to go solo! A clear mistake!! Gary Barlow was one such cretin...

He is worse then death, and twice as ugly. Sadly his music does not so much fill me with summertime joy, but blind me with rage.

Oh yeah Nelly Hot in Here is a definate...I never liked the song...but it reminds me of summer for sure.

Nope sorry, don't know Take That either. I do know who Robbie Williams is & I know New Kids.
Maybe you should include his name over on the secert thread!

I guess they never really made it over here!

Are you an Everclear fan also???

yeah i don't mind them...

I remember arguing with my mates which was the better album... I said Sparkle & Fade, they said ...Afterglow. I stand by my decision (alone maybe) but none-the-less...

I got a cool Summer song for you Scoobs... don't know if you will have heard of this lot, they are sort of like Coldplay (*cough - sorry I swore!*) except actually creditable...

Catch the Sun ~ Doves

See if you can download it from somewheres...

Nope, never heard of them. I'll see what I can find.

BTW, Sparkle was a kick a$$ raw album. Afterglow is a more polished version of Sparkle but still good none the less. There greatest hits album will be released in October i think.

Visit the SUBLIME thread!

The Doves are very cool. love what they did in 'the last broadcast'. exxcept m62 gets on my nerves after a while. Starsailor are another pretty similar band their lastest album is pretty good.

I always wonder why it took me so long to discover rock!
Bic Runga's 'Sway' is a very lazy summer's afternoon song.
Take me out- Franz Ferdinand
Alanis MOrrisette- hand in my pocket
Thirdeye Blind- Semi Charmed Kinda life
Foo Fighters- Danny says
and for some reason
Melissa Auf der maur Taste you

Love Shack ~ B52s (or is it the BC52s ) It was just playing on the radio... ah sooo many memories.

it's B-52's

Yeah I know Scoobs... I was messing with you! They did change their name to BC-52s for The Flintstones movie tho - which is what i was getting at...

kicking pigeons ~ (spunge)
sunny hours ~ Long Beach Dub Allstars

There's a good list of summer songs here.

Thanks for the link! I love alot of those songs!


Sweet Home Alabama! Always reminds me of summer

Ocean Avenue...its the first song I heard when summer vacation started.

The summer before seventh grade, "Mmmbop" came out. Enough said.

Also, every morning in the summer when I drive to work (I work at an amusement park), I still play Jason Mraz's "The Remedy". Even in the middle of the winter, I feel like sunshine is on my shoulders when I hear that song. Love it. And "Pink" by Aerosmith. Very much summer when I hear that. *Sigh*

staring at the sun - U2 (original version)

Will Smith - Summer Time

Boys of Summer - The Ataris

Will smith - Maimi

Boys of Summer - Don Henley
Sea of Love - The Honeydrippers

Las Ketchup - The Ketchup Song

Me tooo - I eard it all last Summer!

Boys of Summer -The Ataris
Blueside -Rooney
Ocean Ave. -Yellowcard
Swing, Swing -The All-American Rejects (my favorite band!!!)
Night Drive -The All-American Rejects

-EricFormansgrl

Jack Johnson - Flake

the first two are a little older and a little slow, but I just found out about them and they're really cool.

kool and the gang-summertime (which is the song Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff sampled from in their song "Summertime")

My #1 Summer Song of all time is Janis Joplin's "Summertime."
You know: "Summertime and the livin' is easy, fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high, you're daddy's rich and your mama's good-lookin', so hush little baby, don't you cry."

Other favorites:

I know it's been said by several others on the board, but I'll say it again: Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince "Summertime."

One of my very favorite bands, Self, has a b-side called "Summersound" - if you'd like to check it out, it's the third song on this page of their fansite: selfies.com. The mods there prefer if you hit "save as" (you'll use your right-click on a PC) and download the MP3 and then listen off your computer (rather than stream it off the site), and they and the band are so great to post all those b-sides for FREE that I want to be sure to respect their wishes.

There's a trio of female rappers called Northern State - who happen to be white and Jewish! - and I've been diggin' them - and they have a song called "Summer Never Ends" - you can hear a clip of it streamed at their site. Go to the bottom of the page and scroll forward to song #11.

For '80's nostalgia, I like "Suddenly Last Summer" by the Motels, and "Cruel Summer" by Bananarama...

And then I also like a couple classics: “Hot Fun in the Summertime” by Sly and the Family Stone, Alice Cooper's "School's Out" and “Summer In the City” by the Lovin’ Spoonful.
