Music/Songs that make u think of summer

I wonder if there's any music out there that automatically makes you think about the summer.

One song that automatically makes me think of the summer is Santana's "Oye Como Va." To me that song just has a groovy, relaxing feel to it. I'm not a big fan of the Beach Boys, but I whenever I hear their songs I think of summer, and well... the beach. And some of Marley's music, especially "Jammin" makes me think of the summer.

 

"Summertime Blues"!

 

San Fransisco by Scott McKenzie and Daydream by The Loving Spoonfull. Yeah, summertime...

 

Any "summer of love" song... plus this huge list of songs in my "sunny summer compilation" I created on iTunes Some Grateful Dead... some reggae... and just random songs that remind me of summer, like San Tropez by Pink Floyd, or Who Loves The Sun, by the Velvet Underground, or Sun King by the Beatles...

 

There are so many!

Summertime - Sublime/Miles Davis/and all the other versions too
Boys of the Summer - The Ataris
Break you off - The Roots
La Bamba - Richie Valens
Tequila - Los Lobos
Summer in the city - Joe Cocker
Ibiza - Vengaboys

And lots of other songs too. Gloria Estefan, Gypsy Kings, Carlos Santana... And of course some reggae!

 

'A Summer Song' - Chad & Jeremy

 

peace train by cat stevens

 

That song's in my compilation!

 

The Kinks - Sunny afternoon
Paolo Conte - Via con me

 

The entire album california by mr. bungle, Do you realize-flaming lips, Summer Romance-Incubus, numerous king crimson songs.

 

This may sound really wierd, but Korn's "Y'all Want A Single" seems to remind me of summer now. Probably because I always blast it in the car with all windows down, and you only do that when its warm outside...

 

Oh what a night- the Four Seasons
Uncle Johns Band- Grateful Dead
Silent in the morning- Phish
Brown Eyed Girl- Van Morrison
Hey Girl- OAR


yeah none of these songs are particularly 'great' or anything, but they make me think of summer

dirty eyes by the ravonettes, and basically anything off of Chain Gang of Love, mainly because they use a lot of surf guitar on it


laid back alt.rock-folksy music reminds me of summer too, because its the kind of summer road-trip music i always listen to
