Posted by: Shannon| May 15, 2008 at 12:54 PM "Boys of Summer" by Don Henley "Could you be loved/and be loved" by Bob Marley and Damien Marley. Perfect, laid-back, sun-drenched reggae tune. "This magic moment" by Jay and the Americans. Ahhh... even though I grew up in the 90's this tune reminds me of my childhood summer everytime I hear it. "America the Beautiful"-- the Ray Charles version. Reminds me of carefree 4th of July nights. Anything by the Beach boys but especially "kokomo"-- kind of cheesy, but a fun song "Summertime" both the original Porgy and Bess awesome soprano version and the Fresh Prince/DJ Jazzy Jeff version. So good. Cruel Summer by Bananarama Fly by Sugar Ray Great Balls of Fire - Jerry Lee Lewis i hear 'Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys and i'm back in my boyfriend's '67 Nova SS, cruisin with his arm around my shoulders! btw - we've been married for 29 years now! "In the Summer Time" by Mungo John. What's not to love about this kicky little upbeat tne! It always gets me and my little daughters up and dancing! It is a song that just begs for the shoes to come off! Sheryl Crow's SOAK UP THE SUN Shining star-The Manhattans I'm so glad you included John Fogerty's Centerfield as one of the songs to download because that is my favorite summer song. I'm a baseball FANatic and because Centerfield was inspired by Willie Mays and is played at my favorite ballpark-ATT Park in San Francisco, CA-whenever Willie Mays is in the house. Walking on Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves The GoGos singing "Vacation" always gets me in the mood for summer, and it's also a great mood-lifter in the middle of the winter. Check it out! "Six Pack Summer" by Phil Vassar Van Morrison - Domino and anything else by him for that matter! Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run, Jungleland, She's the One, Streets of Fire. Earth, Wind & Fire's "Fantasy", Marvin Gaye'S "What's Going On?" "The Boys of Summer" by Don Henley Sitting on the Dock American Pie by Don McClean In the Cool Cool Cool of the Evening (Rosemary Clooney) Bob Marley's music has a way of relaxing you: perfect for those lazy summer days. My favourite summer song: "Voilà l'été" by Les Negresses Vertes! "Dock of the Bay' by Otis Redding reminds me of the old Countrytime Lemonade commericial, and I really WANT to be "sitting on the dock of the bay, watching the time drift away." Who wouldn't? Anything by Jimmy Buffett! "Those Summer Days" and "Hot Fun in the Summertime" by Sly and the Family Stone both make me feel like I'm back at the beach, back in the day! |
