Songs for the summer...
 

I've just put together a summer CD for my car..(well, someone else did it for me..)..and although I love all the old summer classics, this is my absolute favourite one atm..I have it almost on a loop as playing it on the way to work lifts me into a great frame to start the day...

..what are your favourite summer songs...?....

i had a beautiful playlist before my itunes wiped itself :(

off the top of my head, these're songs that make me feel summery.

Sly & the Family Stone - Hot Fun in the Summertime
Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth
Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit
The Doors - Hello I Love You
Basement Jaxx - Romeo (or Jus 1 Kiss, or Raindrops)
Robyn - With Every Heartbeat (feat. Kleerup) - not necessarily summery, but was released Summer 2007 and reminds me a lot of it.
Groove Armada - Song 4 Mutya
Little Jackie - The World Should Revolve Around Me
Radiohead - Pyramid Song
The Who - Baba O'Riley
Mott the Hoople - All the Young Dudes
The Velvet Underground - Femme Fatale
The Beatles - Here Comes the Sun, obviously
The Kinks - anything by them tbh. 'Days' is quite fun.
Noah & the Whale - 5 Years Time
Iglu & Hartly - In this City

ok i could really go on all day, I need to rebuild playlists :(

Jesus just blew everyone out of the water with Jackie Wilson (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher. What a song.

..yeah, I agree with All The Young Dudes, Shaun..that's on my car summer song CD and one of my favourite driving songs...

Well billy rapped all night about his suicide
How he kick it in the head when he was twenty-five
Speed jive don't want to stay alive
When you're twenty-five
And wendy's stealing clothes from marks and sparks
And freedy's got spots from ripping off the stars from his face
Funky little boat race
Television man is crazy saying we're juvenile deliquent wrecks
Oh man I need tv when I got t rex
Oh brother you guessed
I'm a dude dad
All the young duuuuuuuuuuuuuudes (hey dudes)
Carry the newwwwwwwwwwwwwws (where are ya)
Boogaloo dudes (stand up come on)
Carry the news......


..that was me singing..if you prefer Mott the Hoople's version, here's the vid....

Most Beach Boys song's










And of course
