Favorite summer song

[Bossy Monkey]

As summer begins to fade, let's pick a favorite summer song from yesteryear. I'd add ones from todayyear, but they don't seem to make them anymore. I thought about putting on "Steal My Sunshine" by LEN, but it didn't quite seem to qualify. Still, gimme nominations in the form of replies and I'll be happy to stick em on the poll if I remember to look in within an hour. Still, you know one of the first two is going to win this.

Edit: Summer Breeze by Seals & Crofts replaces Summer Nights, Grease; Gershwin Summertime replaces Magic, The Cars

1. Other - Chuck Prophet

"Summertime Thing"

[fudge stripe cookays]

10. I was just gonna post that!

I LOVE that whole album.

Who else could rhyme "how could she not wanna" with "hear help me Rhonda"?

Thank God for KFOG in SF or I'd never hear anything decent in the home of Clear Channel.

15. He's Supposed to Have Something New Coming Out

Might already have been released, don't know. Haven't heard anything more on it since early summer.

and I agree about the album, it's grand. ("I Bow Down ..." is my fave :))

[soothsayer]

2. This time of year, Bananarama's Cruel Summer. Otherwise, I love

Sublime's Doin Time

[Spinzonner]

3. Summer Breeze

Seals And Crofts

[Magrittes Pipe]

4. When Sly is an option...

[Lancer]

6. Moonlight Feels Right

by Starbuck

[Richardo]

24. I'm hip, my brother...

9. Okee, both Spinzonner nominees have been added n/t

[MrScorpio]

11. I like the Isley Bros. cover of Summer Breeze

Much more than I like the S & C

It's much more funkier

[Bossy Monkey]

19. I bet that would be cool-- better guitar, too

Never heard it, though. However, I just put up the artists' names to remind folks what songs I'm talking about. Notice I didn't limit the Gershwins' Summertime to a single singer; you can still vote Summer Breeze and mean the Isleys.
