Hey folks. I’m getting bored of the songs on my “summer bbq” playlist and am looking for any recommendations. I’m into upbeat dance tracks like Summer (Calvin Harris) and also slow grooves like Summer Madness (Cool and the Gang) as well as rap like Phantom(Redux) (Shirt) all the way to upbeat pop like The Set Up (Favored Nations). Anything you feel is summerish really. As well as the ones I listed above, I also have: 31 seconds to Die (The Bloody Beatroots) Music Sounds Better with You (Stardust) More Than This (Roxy Music) Return of the Mack (Mark Morrison) I can’t Wait (Nu Shooz) Tinseltown to the Boogiedown (Scritti Politti) Veteran (The Dream) Superstition (Stevie Wonder) etc. ---

Nice choices everyone! Thank you. I have adapted your own songs’ to my mp3 player so that their technological and biological distinctiveness will service my bbq parties from now on. 😛
