This has probably been done before, but what songs make you think of summertime? I can hear Peaceful Easy Feeling by the Eagles and think of hot summer nights camping with a campfire. What songs do it for you?

An oldie called “Red Rubber Ball” and of course music by Jan and Dean and The Beach Boys.
Summertime – The Jamies
Wild Summer Nights – John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band from the soundtrack of Eddie and the Cruisers.
Girl Don’t Tell me – The Beach Boys
@Dr Lawrence, ”...and the morning sun is shining like a red rubber ball.”
The Beach Boys “Do it Again”
The Lovin’ Spoonful – ’‘Summer in the City’’
The Drifters – ’‘Under the Boardwalk’’
The Beach Boys – ’‘I Get Around’’
and my all time favorite…
Harry Nilsson – Put the Lime in the Coconut
@cruiser I did not know Harry Nilsson sang that. I love that song, and it does remind me of summer and beaches.
If I hear anything from Back In Black by AC/DC, I’m immediately reminded of summer parties from high school.
Spielhur from Ramstein.
It has absolutely nothing to do with Summer, but it’s got extreme emotional value for me, for things that happened on a Summer some years back.
@Cruiser We must have been riding in the same car.
I agree with @filmfann and @wgallios: Will Smith Summertime and Sly and the Family Stone – Hot Fun in the Summertime.
@janbb ‘68 Matador Red Camaro??
@janbb No…No way!! I had my colors mixed up…it was Candy Apple red! ;D
@Dr_Lawrence….Red Rubber Ball! By the Cyrkle! I cited that song in Fluther a few months back (one hit wonders). It does remind me of summer.
“Happy Together” by the Turtles.
“Lady Willpower” by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap
“Indian Lake” by the Cowsills
“Sitting On the Dock of the Bay” Otis Redding
“Summer Wind” Frank Sinatra
“Sealed with a Kiss” (cover) by Gary Lewis and the Playboys (“Well, it’s gonna be a cold, lonely summer, but darling, I promise you this, I’ll give you all my love…every day in a letter, sealed with a kiiiissssss..”)
“Georgy Girl” by The Seekers
All these songs are from summers when I was waist high to a garden gnome. But the radio was always on at our house and I remember these being played a lot.
Most things by the Beach Boys.
“Summertime” – Bon Jovi
“Summer Nights” – John Travolta and Olivia Newton John
“Long Hot Summer Night” – Jimi Hendrix
“Hot Fun in the Summertime” – Sly
“Summer Days” – Dylan
Joe Cocker’s “Summer in the City”
“Sandy (Fourth of July, Asbury Park)” by Bruce Springsteen – set on my native soil.
Anything by the Beach Boys.
Summer may be coming to an end, but I couldn’t let summer pass without posting this song. It just oozes that good ole summertime feel. Enjoy the rest of your summer Jellies!
@rpmpseudonym Thank you! I had forgotten about that song, but I really liked it.
