Boys of Summer: Don Headly

Intresting factiod: my wife and I, working in a tourist shop one summer, noticed every time Boys of Summer was playing, everyone that was in the shop would buy something. It would seem some songs subconsciously manipulate people in such a way as this to be the result.
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.

In The Summertime - Mungo Jerry (and I have no idea if it was actually released during the summer..lol)

In the summertime when the weather is fine
You can stretch right up and touch the sky
When the weather's fine
You got women, you got women on your mind
Have a drink, have a drive
Go out and see what you can find

If her daddy's rich take her out for a meal
If her daddy's poor just do what you feel
Speed along the lane
Do a ton or a ton an' twenty-five
When the sun goes down
You can make it, make it good in a lay-by

We're no threat, people
We're not dirty, we're not mean
We love everybody but we do as we please
When the weather's fine
We go fishin' or go swimmin' in the sea
We're always happy
Life's for livin' yeah, that's our philosophy

Sing along with us
Dee dee dee-dee dee
Dah dah dah-dah dah
Yeah we're hap-happy
Dah dah-dah
Dee-dah-do dee-dah-do dah-do-dah
Dah-do-dah-dah-dah
Dah-dah-dah do-dah-dah

In the summertime when the weather is hot
You can stretch right up and touch the sky

Go out and see what you can find

Dee Lite!!

Anything and everything but in particular:

Walk with me until we find the right spot
Our little excursion picnic in the park
Feet in the grass until it gets dark
That’s when I saw the fire flies spark

The popsicle stick is finally smooth
Hop on a lily pad for the summer groove
Walking arm and arm, so glad you came along
Check out the curly vine
The blanket was too small
But you call me baby doll
I could kiss you all the time

Watchin people have a good time
Watchin people have a good time in the summertime
Flying picnic blanket in the summer groove

No interruptions we’re all alone
Cause I don’t have my cellular phone
Sweatin your pose, wiggling your toes
Come at me like a panther
Cause you know yes is my answer

My mind is in the dirty making mud pies
The heavy heat stretch opened my eyes
You don’t need a subway token
Nature’s fee remains unspoken
The sun is shining through the leaves
On the wild flowers in the weeds

Well, obviously Gershwin's Summertime. wink
Definately Beach Boys stuff. Warmth Of the Sun, it's beautiful.

'Lambada' by Kaoma. Very sad song in fact. But very summerish.
