CanAm Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 There are so many songs that bring back fond memories of summers past, but these are a few that come to mind: Take It Easy - The Eagles Nice To Be With You - Gallery Marrakesh Express - Crosby, Stills & Nash Southern Cross - Crosby, Stills & Nash Do You Believe In Magic - The Lovin' Spoonful Fun, Fun, Fun - The Beach Boys (almost all Beach Boys tunes would fit the bill for a summer BBQ) Ventura Highway - America Walking On Sunshine - Katrina & The Waves (This is a hate it or love it kind of song. I guess you know where I stand.) Happy Together - The Turtles Old Days - Chicago Groovin' - The Rascals Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes - Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville - Jimmy Buffett Sausalito Summernight - Diesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible_r Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 anything by bob marley is definitely a sign of summer, always makes me think of being on the beach in Greece, sipping a frappe and posisbly playing backgammon. Another favourite is Manu Chao, especially "king of the bongo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock4Life Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Hm . . . I listened to a lot of Bruce Springsteen during many summer vacations, so I suppose thsoe could be my "summer songs." My favorites then were "The River," "War," and "Backstreets." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Van Halen's - Diver Down. The summer of '82 was filled with this release; me and Kris, we did it so many ways in so many places to this 8-track, we even parked over night at Bitter Lake after returning from the drive-in seeing E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, what a magical night in the back seat of my Torino!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 There's a virtual slew of songs that I would label "Summer Songs" but this next one always sticks out in my mind whenever I think of the summer of 1970 . . . The Rapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otokichi Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I first heard "The Hang Glider Song" in the middle 1970's. If you're at "Beach 5" (Makapu'u beach), all you need do is look syward... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
