Top 10 Summer Songs


It is almost summer. How do I know? I know because for the last week people have been "studying in quad" in bikinis, the lobby is full of carts and people are moving out.

So what does this mean? Means we need to compile a Top 10 list of summer songs. Below I (with the help of my friends) have compiled a big old list of summer songs.

I was planning on using a voting/survey tool to narrow it down to 10. However most of the prepackaged voting tools max out before 25 entries - and even fewer allow multiple voting.

Top Summer Songs:
4 Seasons: Summer by Vivaldi
California by Wave
California by Phantom Planet
Cruel Summer by Ace of Base
Cruel Summer by Bananarama
Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding
California Girl by Tristan Prettyman
Here for a Good Time by Trooper
Heat of the Moment by Asia
Holiday by Madonna
In the Summertime by Mungo Jerry
Kokomo by Beach Boys
Mexico by James Taylor
School is out for Summer by Alice Cooper
Steal my Sunshine by LEN
Summer Day by Cocunut Records
Summer Girls by LFO
Summer Nights by Grease Soundtrack
Summer of '69 by Bryan Adams
Summertime by Will Smith
Summertime Summertime by The Jamies
Sun is Shining by Bob Marley vs Funkstar de Luxe
Surfin' USA by Beach Boys
Itsy bitsy teeny weenie polka dot bikini by Brain Hyland

Is your fav summer song in the list? If not add it to a comment.

Thanks for the link back, and for adding to your list. So funny to see the Sex Pistols circa 2007 doing "Holidays in the Sun." They're way too old for that stuff these days! :)

"Summertime Blues" has been covered so many times. After Eddie Cochran, Blue Cheer and the Who cover it best. Stay away from the Alan Jackson version.
