What's One of Your Favorite Summer Pop Songs?

Magic by ONJ

Dancing in the Street

I MUST that wig Martha is wearing at r2.

Love it.

Vince Gill singing The Beach Boys "The Warmth of the Sun."

I know this is blasphemy. So what. But I didn't use the BB's version because, I think Gill sings it better than they do.

"Hot Stuff" and "Bad Girls" by Donna Summer. She ruled the summer of 1979.

"Bad Girls" - #1 for five weeks in the summer of 1979.

Summer, 1981

Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ from Summer ‘83. Those teenage songs always stay with you!

Vacation by Connie Francis

End of Summer from a looooooong time ago.

Songbird (Barbra Streisand)

Where is my songbird ? Who sings his songs for me...

Summer, 1978

Grease by Frankie Valli. Just those opening chords and I'm on the beach.. At least in my mind anyway.

Samba Pa Ti evokes in me a Summer sunset or sunrise.

One of my all-time favorite instrumentals.

"She Works Hard for the Money" - Summer of 1983 as it was in the Top 10 and trying to get to #1. I was shocked it never did - kept in third place by "What A Feelin' " by Irene Cara and "Every Breath You Take" by The Police. Great Top 3 for the summer of 1983.

Tall in the Saddle by Joan Armatrading. I don't know why, but it reminds me of a hot summer night

This always makes me think of the summer of '77.

Other "summer" songs are Driver's Seat, Wild Night, The Boys Are Back in Town and this banger.

(I don't want to be that poster who takes over a thread with a dozen links in a row.)

an obscure one hit wonder

Hot Summer Nights.

It's obscure but if you know it you love it.

Pervy summer song about prostitots - the actual whore kind - not the early aughts Paris Hilton wannabes

Nick Gilder - Hot Child in the City

This one reminds me of being a kid in the 70s

Stumblin' In - Suzy Quatro and Chris Norman

Summer of 1984. I was 17, going into my last year of high school and this song and video exploded. The video was so glamorous in a spare sort of way and the lyrics were so hip that we felt cool just listening to the song. Everything felt beautiful and possible.

And here’s my correction post: Boys of Summer didn’t come out until October 1984, which now makes sense because I was screwing around with two golf pros at a country club and didn’t start there until September 1984. One of them and I used to quote this song all the time…in the Autumn of 1984, not the Summer.

Summery Pet Shop Boys

Stumblin' In is not just a great Summer song it is an all time great classic. I love that song.

& a remix to boot!
