Summer Songs

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)

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

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)

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.

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!

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!!
