my number one song of the summer would honestly have to be hotel california by the eagles. Thats one of my all time favorite songs to begin with and even when i listen to it i can still feel the heat of summer and it makes me think of hanging out with friends and having fun.

another song that i love to listen to in the summer is temperature by sean paul. its also another song that i can just feel the summer heat and it reminds me of spinning poi with my sister

My all time summer song would have to be We used to be friends by Dandy Warhols
you can see it here:

A few summers ago, I had a new group of friends, we were all new to each other and we discovered that we all loved the same song and it was amazing, everywhere we would go we would play it all the time in the car.

My # 1 song for the summer:

Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams

My # 1 song to say goodbye to the summer:

Sealed with a Kiss - by Bobby Vinton or by Brian Hyland

Every time I hear the song "Africa" by Toto, I drift back to a dreamy summer in my childhood.

Of all things, I was on a school trip to the seaside. My best friend Katrina and I were about 11 or so, and it was my first time on a big Ferris wheel. The two of us were in the seat, laughing and looking at the view out over the beach, and that song was playing...

"I bless the rains, down in Africaaaa......"

as we went round, and round, up and down. It felt so perfect, the warm breeze and the laughter. Incidentally, I'm still friends with Katrina now at the age of 37, and both of us are mothers! But we still go out sometimes, carefree and filled with laughter like we were that day.

Thanks for making me think of that, I feel happy now!

My song is Kokomo by Beach Boys.

It reminds me of gorgeous beaches and of a special summer I spent with friends relaxing and enjoying life.

Hot town, summer in the city
back of my neck getting dirty and gritty.....

Ok, not the prettiest start but it gets better.

blahblah....but at night it's a different world
go out and find a girl...

THAT song marks summer to me!

maybe this is not my fave summer song, but it is funny, and totally takes me back to my first gal pal holiday to Crete!! We just spent the whole time drinking at night and lounging by the pool or ocean at day... at nights the pubs were slammin! It was the summer of 1994, and we had just spent most of our summer working so hard as chambermaids and hostess's and were doing a little final fling before Art College started up again.
So almost every night the song that would be played at every bar at some point, that would have EVERYONE, up on the tables, all sandwiched together... was.. drumroll....
STUCK IN THE MIDDLE WITH YOU, BY STEELERS WHEEL.
I can even taste the Ouzo when i listen to it.. here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMAIsqvTh7g

There are so many good summer songs! My favorite one of all times is maybe a little too obvious, but it's Boys of Summer by Don Henley. Everytime I hear it I flash back to riding in the car as a little kid with my parents..windows rolled down.

I am totally "old school rock".
Nazareth "Whiskey Drinking Woman" and AC/DC "Back in Black".
I always think of summer in the early '80's sitting in the park with all of my friends and rockin out.
And when possible sneakin some beer!
Nowadays I'm rockin with my 4 year old grandson in the back yard with some Lady Gaga!

pd

I think of Queen "bicycle"

My favorite song of summer is Home by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros. It just screams summer and just makes you want to breathe it all in. Here's a link to the youtube video, it's amazing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HNY0rx2fw4

My favorite lyrics from the whole song are:

"Moats and boats and Waterfalls, Alleyways and payphone calls
I been everywhere with you
Laugh until we think we'll die, barefoot on a summer night
never could be sweeter than with you"

Every single time I hear it, I get chills. I'm definitely going to miss this summer, but I guess we'll file it away with the summers past and look forward to next year.

Awesome choices! Eminem has also been one of my favorites for this summer. I love his new album.

I don't know anyone who doesn't love Hotel California as a favorite summer song.

One song that always takes me back to summer is Free bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Four years ago I had my first road trip. A couple friends and I drove to California, mid summer with no air conditioning! Free bird was a song that we all stopped to sing along and rock out to. Such an amazing and classic song. That road trip was one of the best memories of my life!

One of my favorite summer songs is "I Like It" by Enrique Iglesias. The first day of summer (last day of school) the local radio station played this song for the first time and asked listeners to call in and give their opinions on it.
I called in and sang in a very high pitched voice "Oh Michelle (name of DJ) I LIKE IT, YEAH BABY I LIKE IT!" Not only did they play it back on the radio, but again and again and again, everytime they played that song for the next month.
The next day, everyone was texting and calling me about it, saying they heard me on the radio.

Hi Taylor... i love your Blog!!
my favorite song are..

Alejandro Lady GaGa

Take it off Ke$ha

We are golden Mika

Dark side of the sun Tokio Hotel

California Girls Katy Perry

I love you

jack and diane by john mellencamp-it reminds me of my childhood beach days w/ family.

and anything by bob marley!

This is such a hard one bc there are so many good summer songs. If i had to choose one all time favorite it would have to be here comes the sun by the beatles......

but...if i could choose a few....
welcome to miami--will smith
its getting hot in here--nelly
pour some sugar on me--def leppard


LOL they make you want to party so

I would have to say my oldie but goodie random! summer song would be Rock Down to Electric Ave. but I must unabashedly announce that this summer it was Teenage Dream. I found mine and am happier than ever and Katy's song reflects the giddy lil girl inside. *swoon* xo k

For me summertime music is all about old Blink 182 and Sublime. It brings me back to my middle school and high school days when these albums came out and life seemed so much more carefree and with less responsibilities. And theres nothing better than feeling free and wild in the summer!

My #1 song for driving to the beach with my girlfriends, windows down, and rockin out is "Dammit" by Blink 182 . It's such infectious pop-punk you can't help but get into it! Especially if youve just had your heart broken by some guy, the lyrics make it seem so much less important by showing that everyone goes through this kind of stuff and its all part of growing up!

California Love by 2pac - it is the perfect summer jam.. always makes me get up and dance. it NEVER gets old and will remain one of my top all time faves for years to come. The song says it all.. California knows how to party!

Hey Taylor,
My favourite songs for this summer have been related to the wonderful vacations i have spent with my boyfriend who unfortunatly had to leave to study in another country. So i have songs of joy and happiness
1- Goldfrapp- rocket, this amazing disco inspired song was playing on the radio when me and my boyfriend were driving at night along the Greek coast with mojitos in our hands and walking on the beach
1- Florence and the Machine - rabbit heart , what a brilliant band, and singer !!
(On my mp3 player depeche mode,marina and the diamonds and regina spektor have featured a bit as well ) hehe
Enjoy

lay me down by the dirty heads- heard it at the beginning of summer for the first time and it carried through being the best summer song EVER

Maybe I'm dating myself here, but when I was a kid (like 17) my friend and I LOVED cruising around Sunset Blvd. to L.L. Cool J's song "GOIN BACK TO CALI" this song was also featured on the soundtrack to one of my favorite movies and commentary on California youth and disallusionment Bret Easton Ellis' "LESS THAN ZERO" My friend and I would play this song over and over again and still not be sick of it!



Now my favorite summer song is "LIMB BY LIMB" by Cutty Ranks. It brings me back to Dancehall and Reggaeton that I would hear thumping all day and night when I spent 3 months is the Carribean. They sure know how to party there and have some rad songs with infectious beats that get in your head and make you want to dance!

"Cruel Summer" by Bananarama. It's been a summer jam for longer than I've been alive but it will never get old for me. Especially perfect for the waning days of summer, when fall threatens the air.

One of my favourite summer song is "cruel summer" by bananarama (1983).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGYNvx9lqDQ

It remembers me of my childhood summers, when school was closed and I went to the beach everyday and the jukebox played this song again and again.

Another song I love is "One day" by Chris Isaak.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl7drCJfK3o

It remembers me of the 2002 summer, when I met my boyfriend. He gave me the LP "Always got tonight" (containing this song) by Chris Isaak as first gift for my birthday. I'll never forget that summer.

A recent song that remeber me of summer is "All summer long" by Kid Rock.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwIGZLjugKA

This song was played everywhere on 2008 summer.

XXX

Is your take on the Emmy fashions!

Actually, Going Back to Cali was by LL Cool J. I remember having this song on cassette. At one time, I owned everything he came out with.
My favorite summer song is Summertime by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. I love old school music so I am also a fan of Dancing in the Street by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing by Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell, and Signed, Sealed, Delivered by Stevie Wonder.

I know I'm completely dating myself when I admit that the first song that comes to mind is "Afternoon Delight" by the Starlight Vocal Band. I can remember being really little on my cousin's hot, summer lawn, mostly dirt and burnt yellow grass. That song is playing on someone's car stereo and we're running through the sprinkler, drenching ourselves in happiness. Ahhhhh...

For me it is Cruel Summer by Bananarama. Mainly because when it is nice out, I'm inside working. And when the weather is terrible, I'm off work.

Definitely the whole album "Idols of Exile" by Jason Collette. An amazing album still, 5 years later.

Particularly this song for summer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYdeNlnLyoI

anything by the Beach Boys - and Bob Marley - makes even rainy Seattle feel like summer

Summer Nights from grease
reminds me of when i was little and would rock out to grease summer nights with my friends! i love grease
its a classic summer love movie!

My favorite song that reminds me of summer is "Nothin on You' by BOB & Bruno Mars. My girlfriends and I went on a road trip this summer (it was awesome) and every single time that song came on the radio (which was like every 10 minutes) we would start dancing and singing along. Fun memories

I don't know where to even begin! There is so many that I love! However, I would have to say that my all time favorite is 99 Red Balloons by Nena. It's the original version which is so much more amazing. My best friend and I always cruise around with her top down and take in the sunshine on those beautiful summer days. We turn up the speakers and still try to sing louder than it!... and we sound soso terrible.

For this Summer the song that I Love at the first hear is "Hey Soul Sister" from Train!
I said "This is my perfect Summer song!" as I listened it when I was to my hair stylist.
And I haven't changed idea I simply love it!

But If I have to choose I definetly will say "Estate" from Negramaro.
I know I'm a strange voice in this post choosing an Italian song from all the others, but this is just my favourite!

The title "Estate" is the translation of "Summer" in italian.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU5ceDPWL1w
You may listen the lovely rhythm also if you can't understand all the words

And of course there's a story behind it!
It was summer '05, my graduation year.
I woke up early in morning, pick my car and then pick up my school friends and all togetrher went to my friend Enzo's Home.
The purpose was one "Studying for the exams" but we've done lots of other funny things that will remain forever in my heart.
In spring I had a car accident, I was really scared from driving again but thanks to my friends I started drive again, because they asked me to pick them up and go.. everywhere!

I remember that summer with Me driving (!! driving well ) My closest friends, good exams results, and a summer that.. as the song says, " I don't want to ever end! "

xoxo

For me, summertime is about warm weather, the beach, and having a lot of fun with friends. Some of my best memories stem from summer fun and its carefree days. If I can choose only one song that reminds me of these happy summer times, I would have to pick the jammin', freestyle song Summertime, Summertime by Nocera. Every time I hear that song I instantly feel happy and lighthearted and want to get up and dance. It's a totally feel-good song. When I was in school, the last two weeks before summer vacation always brought about a change in the literal and figurative air. My friends and I could just taste the freedom coming. We laughed harder and played more and maybe got into a little more harmless trouble. Finals week didn't seem so bad because there was no homework and we knew that as soon as our final exams were completed we were home free. Woo-hoo! One memory in particular is of one of those last days of school one year. One of my friends brought his CD boombox to play during lunch and after school, which we were allowed to do. He had dubbed a CD of one his uncle's old school, freestyle albums and brought it to share with us. We were hanging out after school waiting for a few friends who had an extra class. One of the songs that played was Summertime, Summertime. The music was so jammin' and just got into our feet. Everyone in the quad was dancing and laughing and having a good time. A couple of administrators walked by and eyed us more than once and we weren't sure what to make of it. Finally, one headed our way and we wondered if we were breaking some rule by being so happy. At that moment, a really cool history teacher entered the quad and started trying to sing. He came over and danced with us for a few minutes, which made us laugh even more. He was so good-natured and everyone in the whole school, students and staff alike, could not help but love this guy. The administrator that was heading our way changed his mind and left us alone. We then walked/danced our way to a nearby ice cream shop. The weather was so warm and so the ice cream treats were even more refreshing than usual. Our other friends met up with us about a half hour later. We decided to take our party to the beach. Some of the guys thought it would be fun to dunk some of us girls in the water and get our hair wet, thinking that we would mind. Most of us welcomed the cool water and we had such a great time talking, joking, laughing, and splashing each other. Later that evening we all pitched in and built a bonfire and made s'mores. All the while, we listened to music on our friend's boombox and we enjoyed the song Summertime, Summertime a couple of times more that evening. Whenever, I hear that song I am not only reminded of that playful day, but of every summer season that brings its own new adventures and special memories. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Summertime, Summertime - Nocera

Gee...
It's raining again
And it's so hot
I wish you'd come for me
And take me away
Take me away

[BEGIN CHORUS]
Take me
Take me to the water
Summertime, Summertime
Maybe, we can fall in love
Summertime, Summertime
[END CHORUS]

I listen to the rain outside
Please come and take me for a ride
I really want you
To come and take me far away
I want to say

CHORUS

I was dreaming lying on the sand
You turn to me and take my hand
I can't believe it's true
But you call me out today
I hear you say

CHORUS 2X

Take me baby

Summer Nights by lil rob reminds me of the summer of 2005 it was my favorite song of that summer while we got ready to go out, cruise around, and have fun.

I would choose Peter Andre and the song mysterious girl.

it is a reggae song, really cheesy, he had his shirt off showing off his abs, the location is gorgeous.

it has a really summer vibe, really catchy tune.

and yes, i fancied him, thought he was brilliant, i had his pictures, taped him anywhere where he performed the song.

I want to be with a woman just like you
No doubt i'm the only man
Who can love you like i can
So just let me be with the woman that i love
Baby girl... Shine like a looking glass
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Mysterious girl


lol, nice lyrics.

The Dead Milkmen always remind me of summer 'cause one year my bff and I went on a roadtrip and my Dead Milkmen tape got caught in the tape deck so we listened to it for 14 days in a row!It got annoying but now every time I hear it I think of driving across Canada and camping out with my best gal. Great memories.
Anyways their ULTIMATE summer song is called "Beach Song" I think it's a catchy punk classic , even for this lady who LOVES to lie on the beach.

The Dead Milkmen - Beach Song
Sand is hurting my tender feet
The air smells like rotting fish and solarcaine
I hate the people on the beach
With their towels and umbrellas, they're so insane

I don't wanna be on the beach! No! [x2]
I don't wanna be on the beach!
I don't wanna be on the beach! No!

I hate my girlfriend, she-she-she
Lies on the beach like a barrier reef
Soaking up the stupid sun
While the radio is blasting fun, fun, fun

I don't wanna be on the beach! No fun! [x2]
I don't wanna be on the beach!
I don't wanna be on the beach! No fun! No!
[x2]

This is no way to spend a summer
I've got sand caked on my feet
I gave my ice cream to a shark
And now I've got nothing to eat
No fun!

I don't wanna be on the beach! No fun!
I don't wanna be on the beach! No fun! No!
I don't wanna be on the beach!
I don't wanna be on the beach! No fun!

Another summer classic for me and my pals is Water Park by Royal Trux - it's a total sexy rocker!

I love this song because the beat is chill, upbeat and the words make me imagine my bf and I running away to a beach somewhere in the tropics, bonnie and clyde style! haha!

It's so catchy and upbeat, definitely my summer jam!

Mr. E's Beautiful Blues is definitely one of my favorite summer songs for driving along to in the car on a nice day Also love Show Me What I'm Looking for by Carolina Liar or Born to Run by Springsteen
