Summer sounds

[surreyman]

I am making up a CD with a summer theme (with the help of Limewire) for the guys at work and i am looking for suggestions. All types of music considered not just the old stand-bys (In The Summertime, Summer Nights, etc...). What are your personal favourites ?

Thanks in advance.

in the summertime mungo jerry

In The Summertime - Mungo Jerry has to be the ultimate Summer Song. But, perhaps if the songs don't need to mention Summer, then I think Crazy In Love by Beyonce is quite Summery.

I don't like the song by the way, just think it's summery =P

Crazy - Gnarls barkley

This is all good stuff, keep em' coming.

For me the two songs that completely evoke summer are "Daydream" by The Lovin Spoonful & "Dancing In The Street" by Martha & The Vandellas.
