What song says “summer” to you? Y’know-the one playing on the radio when you’re sitting in the shade of that old oak tree early in the afternoon, sipping on a glass of iced heaven. Mine would be “In The Summertime” by Mungo Jerry.
- Hot Fun in the Summertime - Sly and the Family Stone
- Summer in the City - Lovin’ Spoonful
Summertime–Janis Joplin
Ode to Billie Joe–Bobbie Gentry
I Can See Clearly Now - Johnny Nash
Summertime (The livin’s easy) - Janis Joplin
Summer - War
Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden
I came this close to picking Janis.
Anything Beach Boys.
For some reason, I never listen to them in any other season.
There ain’t no cure for the Summertime Blues.
Kool and The Gang - Summer Madness…
And most music from the “Brown Sound” era…
What’s that song from the late 50’s that started “Summertime, summertime, sum sum summertime…”?
All the ones noted, esp. Janis Joplin and Beach Boys
Summer Nights - Grease soundtrack
Summer of 69 - Bryan Adams
Saturday in the Park - Chicago
MacArthur’s Park - Donna Summer (really, picture yourself at the park in the summer and a summer downpour ruins your picnic … and the cake with green icing!!!) Weird song; cracks me up.
That would be The Jamies’ Summertime, Summertime.
Summertime, Summertime - The Jamies
Thank you for one minute and fifty eight seconds of happy. 
For my daughter it’s The Eagle’s “Boys of Summer” and their Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac.
Nothing particular stands out at the moment for me. “Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer?”
Oh. And who was it sang, “In the summertime, I got fishin’, I got fishin’ on my mind?” Catchy little tune. . .
With a tall glass of real lemonade, of course.
Oh man. We’re under a heat advisory until sometime Wednesday here. Ice cold lemonade, in a tall glass…yeah, reckon that’d be about as close to Heaven as I’ll ever get.
Try it with just a dollop of clover honey. Trust me.
That Summer Feeling - Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers
See the OP - that’s Mungo Jerry…
