So Summer solstice was yesterday...it was a freakin' 113 degrees & felt hotter today...share your fave Summertime songs. What brings back memories for you - care to share? what age were you? Today in my daughter's ballet class they danced to the Beach Boys so now I'm in that mood. Here are some of mine:

That is exactly the one that popped into my head when I read this thread title

I remember listening to that in the car with friends the summer it came out in high school. It still makes me think of those summers when I hear it.

Before I was converted to Rock by going to my first Journey concert in 81, I was working a Summer job in the inspection lanes at the Delaware DMV. When this song would come on the radio we would break out in dance looking like a bad rendition of Carwash.
I was so in love with Jodi Watley back then.

These songs do fit for a summer night...hey, looks like Malo is playing Sphagatini's tonight!

They always broadcast the Smooth Jazz station from there on weekends.

Here's some Santana & a very young Neal - Gregg looks like he never ages (oh, Lora -

HH is probably in there, too.

Santana always reminds me of my friend's much older brother when we were little. Salsa & chips anyone?

This was a big hit in the early 70's. My sister and I would be singing in the back of the station wagon during Summertrips to the Shore not understanding a single word. The closest we had come to spanish culture back then was from watching Chico and the man.
