What music makes you feel like Summer has officially arrived?

This song, this song, and this song because I have summer memories tied to each of them.

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard Barenaked Ladies is another good summer band. I think for me because I saw them live at festivals several times, and of course that was in the summer.

1979 by Smashing Pumpkins. It’s like the anthem for being a teenager..

I always play this song as we back out of the boat launch!

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard I was so ready to put Pinch Me and then I saw your comment!

But right now I am really into this song.

Summer Breeze – Isley Brothers
Summer Breeze – Seals & Crofts
Either one:D

Ooh, I love all of these songs. I suddenly want to make a Fluther-inspired summer mix CD.

@ANef_is_Enuf Summer of Fluth ‘11?

Woot, and now it has a name!

Any music by The Beach Boys.

Surfer Girl, Help Me Rhonda, I Get Around, Don’t Worry Baby…......and the rest of their beach songs.

How could you ever forget California Girls?

The Beach Boys music will be forever.

95, hot and sunny today in Music City.
Where is my suntan lotion?

something by the Beach Boys…

“Every Morning” and “Someday” by Sugar Ray. I have lots of summer memories attached to those songs.

“Let Your Love Flow” by The Bellamy Brothers

And, last but not least, The Beach Boys will always represent the sounds of summer.

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard Holy crap, I hadn’t heard the Sugarcubes in forever! Good tunes!

Here’s one that makes me think of my adolescence. And this.
