All Your Summer Songs

It was over 80 degrees in LA today, and I spent it at the beach.  Don't worry--summer is well on its way for the rest of the country, too.  What are your favorite summertime songs?  To listen to while grilling, or on the porch, or in the car...?

West Coast Poplock by Ronnie Hudson is a big one for me.

Gotta love the 1-2 douche punch that is Dane Cook and Smash Mouth.

A few years ago it was Chewing Gum by Annie. Evan "Funk" Davies played it the other night; I was psyched.

Steal My Sunshine and Chewing Gum are two of the greatest.

Love that LEN song still - wonder if they knew all along they only had one in 'em?

I think that song is far away the leader in the "Song sung entirely in my native language and fairly clearly to boot but still has the most words I cannot for the life of me understand" category.

Sticky pons?  Maker's jars?
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

What is the new soundtrack for summer?  I'm feeling old and hateful and haven't the energy to search for it myself.  Help, please?  I want something blaring from my speakers to shame/impress the high school kids as I drive to work.
Sounds like someone was working as a conduit for nature's natural vengeance.  Just like Jesus.  And some of the others.

Janet Jackson's "Rhythym Nation" 1989.  Oh, and also, the video for "what have you done for me lately" is amazing.  Here you go:

In the Good Old Summertime John Phillip Sousa. My boyhood gem
