The Summertime Music Throwdown!

Hey gang! Three cheers for summer being ripped up and thrown away for a few months!
Hip!
Hip!
Hooray!!

So summer's almost over, but today it was a hundred and some-odd degrees coming back from the dentist and I was thinking about some of the summer songs that I like. They were:

Summer Breeze - Seals & Crofts
Suddenly Last Summer - The Motels
Cruel Summer - Bananarama

So then when I got home I thought of some other summer songs, and even pulled some cds down to check for summer songs I might have forgotten. Came up with:

Summer Nights - Grease soundtrack
That Summer - Garth Brooks
Boys of Summer - Don Henley (The Ataris did a popular cover a few years ago)
Summer in the City - the Lovin' Spoonful

So then I decided to search Youtube for other songs I had heard but couldn't remember and came up with some gems:

Summer Girls - LFO
All Summer Long - Kid Rock
In the Summertime - Mungo Jerry
Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams

I'm going to post a few videos... What's your favorite summer song?



Now let's take a second... there may have never been a song, ever, EVER, worse than this. Listen to the verses. Jon Stewart would call this a Moment of Zen. None of the verses even have anything to do with summer.
"Billy Shakespeare wrote a bunch of sonnets." Word.





"Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind..." 'Nuff said.


Now, I wanted to put a third video up but I don't know who deserves the honors. There's a Lego version of Summer Nights (from Grease) but I think I like the real peoples better. Who wants to play? There's a pretty good chance that this post will have no comments, like usual, but it would also be fun if people posted some fucking summer videos to entertain me! Right? And entertain you! And themselves! It's all a lot of fun. If you use Youtube, you just copy the "embed" line (if you're legally allowed to!) and then paste that in your comment. WHAM! It's a video! And NO Rick Astley videos! Okay, one.
