Oh, yeahhhh Jackson Browne…I don’t like his newest CD tho, “The NAked Ride Home” …
OMG Bunny!!! Don’t feel bad, now that song, in its entirety is ringing in my head…next thing you know we’ll be reminded of “Hungry like the Wolf” and such lol
Neil Young - Live Rust
Perfect for a Friday night when the windows are open to a warm breeze.
Every song on the Men at Work albums Cargo and Business as Usual.
Why? Who knows?
I have to second “Summer Song” by Chad and Jeremy. Brings back some bittersweet memories of my teen years.
Loveshack… actually, the entire Cosmic Thing album. My dad always used to play that one on the outdoor speakers out by the pool in our old house, and now when I hear one of those songs I can practically smell the chlorine and hot concrete…
Hot Child in the City by Nick Gilder.
My best friend and I used to listen to that 45 up in his (non airconditioned) room, over and over one summer.
I thought of some more–
“Whenever I Call You Friend” by Kenny Loggins & Stevie Nicks
“Dreams” by Fleetwood Mack (and most other songs off of their album “Rumours”
“Just a Song Before I Go” by C S N & Y
“Every Breath You Take” by the Police
“Sick of Myself” by Matthew Sweet
“Love is a Drug” by Roxy Music
Ah, yes, some excellent Aussie stuff there. I completely agree with you regarding “Sounds of Then.” It’s the quintessential Australian summer song.
Others that come to mind for me (Australian and otherwise) include:
“Say Goodbye,” by Hunters and Collecters
“Rock Lobster,” by the B52s
“(Sittin’ on) The Dock of the Bay,” by Otis Redding
“Summertime,” by George Gershwin (sung, preferably, by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong)
“December '63 (Oh, What a Night),” by The Four Seasons
“Flame Trees,” by Cold Chisel
…and “Dreadlock Holiday,” by 10CC
Good call! Reminds me of my first summer at UGA. Plus “Dirty Back Road” by the B-52’s.
And “Cannonball” by The Breeders.
Anything by Leon Redbone.
It makes me want to sip lemonade on the front porch and say “my oh my,. the heat”
Spill the Wine ~ Eric Burdon & War 
Albatross by Fleetwood Mac
Saturday in the Park by Chicago. I used to have Sunday season tickets for the Orioles, and they would play this song before the game while showing video highlights of the previous days’ games. Very pleasent memories.
Feelin Groovy (I think thats the title)- by Simon and Garfunkle
