What are your favourite summer songs?

I love the soft rock stuff myself - Bryan Adams, Summer of 69, Broken Wings, The Eagle stuff

Moon

Mine is ".............Summer time when the living is easy"........dunno what the title is or who sung it.

Also I'm easy like Sunday morning (the Faith No More version)

oh oh oh - just downloading that one!! Just compliling myself my own compilcation CD.

Faith No More is definately on there.

Moon

What's that really cool old(ish) one - some nutter(ess) did a cover version...

you would have to be more specific Abby :o

Moon

it goes..

something, something, the boys of summer have gone...something

I think the orginal was 'poisoned summer' and I think it was by Bryan Adams but I cannot seem to find it.

Does anyone know the title of that song??

Yeah! I think that's the one!

What did the chorus go like...

I can see you
Your love just shines in the sun ?
You got your hair pulled back and your sunglasses on
Baby

That is all I can remember and I don't know if it is right either,

Moon

I can't work out whether he/she was singing

boys of summer

or

poisoned summer

but it's a cool track all the same

Thanks MM :D

The re do version was "boys of summer" to suit the singer I think

Moon

Voice of Summer???
Don Henley? - Ex eagles I think thats the one.

My faves summer songs are- no other reason than they remind me of summer

Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison - A hotel I stayed in in the Med used to play it all day long by the pool


Dignity - Deacon Blue - all about buying a dinghy and sailing off into the sunset

T' Bird - Beach Boys - not sure if this is the title, but I am sure you know the one

Sailing - Rod Stewart

For Ramona - Bob Dylan

and many more
Layla - Clapton
California Dreaming - Mamas and Papas
Come on Eileen - Dexys

No just checked - it does appear to be Boy's of Summer

Moon

The song you're after "Boys of Summer" was a Bryan Adams one I think but the new version is by DJ Sammy. Sorry if you've already worked this out.
Chloé

What about KNights in White Satin??? That is a nice one - reminds me of the periwinkle pub in Barnsley

Moon

It is Boys of Summer by Don Henley (Eagles) and was a hit in 1984 and the music video was rated one of the best of all time:)

Lovely Day by Bill Withers is a pretty good summer tune.

In fact, anything on Jazz FM. There's nothing like it on a hot day cruising in a cabroilet!

I can't get Jazz FM in Sheffield. I could in Liverpool (one of the few things that made life bearable) but not this side of the Pennines.

Staying Out for the Summer - Dodgy
What a Beautiful Day - Levellers
Tattoo You (entire album) - Rolling Stones
Albatross - Fleetwood Mac
......many more!

The Rain Song- Led Zeppelin A perfect British Summer Song

It’s my favourite ‘summer’ song too: from ‘Porgy and Bess’ (1935), written by George Gershwin and DuBose Heyward (lyrics). It’s one of the most recorded songs of all-time.

A second favourite is Mungo Jerry’s: ‘In the Summertime’
:)

What's this to do with summer M?

Beautiful tune, and interestingly still on many juke-boxes in the pubs around Sheffield. It's 36 years old next month.:)

I find guitar pop to be the best summery tunes.....here are a few:-

The La's - There she goes
Doves - Catch the sun
Levellers - What a beautiful day
Cardigans - Your new cuckoo
Coldplay - Green eyes
Wannadies - You and me song
Sundays - Summertime

Has to be .. Pali Gap - Hendrix - from the Rainbow Bridge LP.

Also how about ...

Summer Breeze - The Isley Brothers

The Who
Live at Leeds
Summertime Blues
(Still no cure.Experts baffled)

Hi Abby

You can listen to jazz FM over the web.

It's good.

The ultimate summer song has to be Perfect Day sung by Lou Reed (as in Trainspotting when he sinks through the floor).

Oh yeah! :headbang:

When I was 17 I went on a holiday to Majorca with a friend. The song they played over and over was "Won't you take me to Funky Town. A big disco number in those days and I don't remember who played it. Every time I hear it, which is not very often these days, it makes me remember my holiday to Majorca. We had a blast. Drank too much, danced all night etc etc........... say no more. Makes me feel good when I hear it. I start bopping around.

That song is by Lipps Inc. Great tune.

for me it would have to be Blue Sky by ELO. The one that the DJs always fade out before the actual ending...

Summer music to me is always that annoying amusement arcade crane toy thingy music at the coast. It makes me think of freezing beaches, donkeys and ice cream!! Yay!! :clap:
