I made myself another playlist for my iPod and thought I'd share.

For your iPod (or mp3 player of your choice) if you so desire, I have a little playlist of songs all about summer. Starts off sweet with Chad & Jeremy and as the summer ends and fades away to autumn, we're left with the Summer Wind and memories of the fun we had All Summer Long.



A Summer Song - Chad & Jeremy
Soft kisses on a summer's day
Laughing all our cares away
Just you and I.

Summersong - The Decemberists
My girl, linen and curls
Lips parting like a flag all unfurled
She's grand the bend of her hand
Digging deep into the sweep of the sand.

Summer Breeze - Seals and Crofts
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind

Summer In The City - The Lovin' Spoonful
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

Cruel Summer - Bananarama
Hot summer streets
And the pavements are burning
I sit around
Trying to smile
But the air is so heavy and dry

Hot Fun in the Summertime - Sly and the Family Stone
End of the spring and here she comes back
Hi Hi Hi Hi there
Them summer days, those summer days

That's when I had most of my fun, back
high high high high there
Them summer days, those summer days

In The Summertime - Mungo Jerry
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

Green Onions - Booker T and the MGs
Instrumental, wonderful, and no "summer" in the title, but had to put this here "just because."

Soak Up The Sun - Sheryl Crow
Okay, doesn't as well have "summer" in the title, but another "just because".

I'm gonna soak up the sun
While it's still free
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Before it goes out on me

Summertime - Janis Joplin

And okay so I could include as a bonus, even, the great Billy Stewart cover of this great Gershwin classic but I love me some Janis so hers is the "official" addition to the list.

Summertime and the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’ and the cotton is high
Oh your daddy’s rich and your ma is good lookin’
So hush little baby, don’t you cry

Summer Days - Bob Dylan
Summer days, summer nights are gone
Summer days and the summer nights are gone
I know a place where there's still somethin' going on

Summer Wind - Frank Sinatra
The summer wind came blowin' in from across the sea.
It lingered there, so warm and fair to walk with me.
All summer long, we sang a song and strolled on golden sand,
Two sweethearts and the summer wind.

All Summer Long - The Boys
Won't be long till summertime is through
(Summertime is through)
Not for us now
