Good Summertime Songs

[Benji]

Okay, I have tomorrow and Thursday off and intend to just go out at least one day and totally relax with a book and a good load of music, so I'm making a playlist, I want some positive and upbeat songs, not necesarilly about summer, but with that summer, so far all I can think of is...

"Steal My Sunshine" by Len

"Summertime" by Shaggy

"King For A Day" by Green Day

"Paradise City" by Guns 'N' Roses

[9 to 5]

Well, you stole my thunder Benji. I was going to say "Steal My Sunshine" too.

[reyrey619]

"Doin' Time" Sublime

"Summertime" Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff

[YI]

I could come in here and make a massive post, but I can't be arsed. So my suggestion is;

All of "Everything in Transit" by Jack's Mannequin. It's like a perfect summers album. Plus I believe you once said you like Something Corporate, so you may already know of Jack's Mannequin (As it's McMahon's side/solo-project), but it's fucking brilliant.

"AM 180" by Grandaddy

"Shake What Ya Mama Gave Ya" by Skank

"Song For Dot" by Space Raiders

"Prince Charming" by Adam Ant

"Green Onions" by Booker T and the MGs

"Tangerine Speedo" by Caviar

"Surfin' Atari" by Console

"Da Funk" by Daft Punk

"Mr Blue SKy" by ELO

Pretty much anything by Fatboy Slim

Who did the song "Summer Breeze"? I only have the Aphrodite remix.

[ClaRK! Kent]

That new Gnarls Barkley track, "Smiley Faces."

Any of the Beach Boys' 'surf' tracks. Or any of their tracks full stop, really.

Not really traditional summer music, but it works for me - Queen.

And if you take that smart-mouthed, talentless bitch Lily Allen's song, I'll kill you with a rusty nail file.

Don't Fight The Pimpin' by Suga Free

"Summer Breeze" is by Seals and Croft.

Give me a break, she's the poorest excuse for a songwriter since an analogy I'm too lazy to come up with.

Jack Johnson "Banana Pancakes"

[Skummy]

LND (I think that's what it's called) by Lilly Allen is alright, Smile is just a bit rubbish. There's far worse stuff out there.

Good Summer music...Nouvelle Vague, Beach Boys (as mentioned earlier)...can't go far wrong with Os Mutantes, either, especially not A Minha Menina or She's My Shoo-Shoo.

[King Ellis]

Summer Sunshine by The Corrs

[therockbox]

"In the Summertime" - Mungo Jerry

[ClaRK! Kent]

Skummy - there's worse out there than Lily Allen, sure. My problem with her is that she clearly thinks she's the shit, when in fact she's just the drizzling shits. If she didn't have such an ego, and such a mouth, I don't think I'd mind her as much.

[Skummy]

Eh. I know nothing about her, other than the two songs I've heard when a friend of mine recommended her to me a couple of months ago. I've never read an interview or anything like that.

Bear in mind, I've only heard Gnarls Barkley three times. Modern music and me have a distant relationship at best >_>

[The Chronic]

anything by andrew wk

anything by heron

[therockbox]

You only have to get one Andrew WK song, because they all sound the same.

[Bigal]

Summertime - Robbie Williams

One of my guilty pleasures.
