Re: To welcome summer of 2022, what are some of your favorite summer songs

Summer In The City - Lovin' Spoonful
Wonderful Summer - Robin Ward
Dancin' In The Street - Martha & The Vandellas ("Summer's here and the time is right...)
Summer Rain - Johnny Rivers
Why Can't You Stay & Love Me All Summer - Brian Hyland

And then there's one that I'm not sure many know about because it wasn't a huge hit (#28 on Billboard in 1978), but it's a magnificent bit of throwaway pop music - "Almost Summer" by a group called Celebration. It was actually Mike Love, and was a tune written by fellow Beach Boys Brian Wilson and Al Jardine for the movie of the same name. 

It's just a great upbeat song and it comes with an Easter Egg. At point, the lyrics talk about "riding in my little Deuce Coupe," at which point they briefly perform the old Beach Boy song.

I had to see that movie SO many times.  If you asked a girl out and it was playing somewhere you could bet that’s what she’d pick.  First ir was the feature at the theaters, then it was the feature at the drive-ins, then it was the B movie at the drive ins.  It didn’t make a difference if it was the same girl, she wanted to see it again, and again, and again, and again, and again ..

That Sunday That Summer - Nat King Cole
My Summer Love - Ruby and the Romantics - and favorite of all
Lazy Summer Night - Four Preps.

As for Summer Place, I prefer the divine vocal by the J's with Jamie.

I was thinking about this the other day and find it weird that my favorite summer songs are all Easy Listening.

Here in the heat of the Arizona Sonoran desert, we prefer to think about these kind of songs in the summertime.

"We Gotta Get Out Of This Place"  San Diego here we come. 
"Cold As Ice"  Thinking positive.
"(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66"  Roll down the windows.
"I Wish it Would Rain"  When it does, top story 6 o'clock news.
"Oceanfront Property"  Still waiting for Cali to get out of the way.
"98.6"  Finally, a cooling trend.
"The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore)"  Yay!
