Songs for Summer

[lvstephanie]

Every year a friend of mine has a summer bash, inviting a bunch of friends and family to her house where there is room to pitch a tent, eat the tons of food, and just party out. Once again, I'll be bringing my PA system and providing the music for the fest. So I'm looking for songs to fill a Summertime playlist.

A few off the top of my head are DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince's "Summertime", Kenny Chesney's "Summertime", and Sublime's "Doin' Time" (which most people mistakenly know as -- yeah,, you guessed it -- "Summertime").

But the song doesn't need to explicitly mention summertime or even summer... Jimmy Buffett has a bunch of songs like "Margaritaville" and "Cheeseburger in Paradise" which are always great ones to listen to in the summer. Or like the Zac Brown Band has a few, like "Toes", that just reminds you of summer.

What songs remind you of summer? Or songs you think would be great to listen to at a summer party?
