Summer music.

Spoiler: Has nothing to do with summer, but it sounds...beach-y.

 

[Zandarck]

Well, this is the song I think of when someone says "Summer."

Love it.

Yes! That song is fantastic!

My preferred summer song is:

Spoiler: Reel Big Fish - Song #3

Wait... you can't have summer without beach.

Beach Boys to be exact.

/snob mode/ Spoiler tags are for suckers with low bandwidth. /snob mode/

Joking aside, I'll humor you guys. Here are some of my favorites:

Spoiler: Some The Cat Empire songs.

Excellent driving/touring/doing active summer things music.

Spoiler: Some Bonobo and Nujabes.

Just lay your ass in the sun and chill down.

Spoiler: Misc. music; Kula Shaker, Pepper, Black Seeds, more like that

I think that'll do for now. But this post will probably be lost in the crowd anyway.

Oh, there is a significant lack of Sugar Ray in this thread. C'mon guys.
The scene this song appears in is, like, the most generic summer setting of all time.

Now, here in the American Midwest, we're suffering an apocalyptic heat wave that just won't quit. So for me, this might be a more appropriate song:

Hiya escapists.

Summer has finally started to reach me here in the more chilly regions of the world, so I'm in a mood for some related music.

Southern rock always reminds me of Summer.

These guys are English, but they're still awesome.

Obligatory song with "summer" somewhere in the title.

Yeah, too bad the track's real name is Doin' Time

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

It's not summer unless you have some Red Hot Chili Peppers playing!

Love it.

Childhood nostalgia, thanks Marter!

OT: Summer music is happy music.

The happiest song of last year.

A great song for summer, if a little cliche.

The song of my Egypt holiday sticks with me as a Summer Song

Roadtrippin' by the chili peppers reminds me of Summer.

[Jonluw]

Lots o' snips.

You're pretty much the only one in this thread whose summer music I approve of.
All the rest is just annoying techno, remixes and dance music.
Way to go.

 

[Sean Hollyman]

I only just found this, but whatever.
Make that booty pop!

Summery music, eh?

Spoiler: Anything by Fool's Gold!!!!!!

Listening to Fool's Gold makes me think of being at some festival in an illegal state of mind.

 

[Vault101]

bah! what is it with the romancisation of summer? (I'm freezing right now since its winter)

to me..summer means (or used to mean)

heat, heat and more heat
family vactions to some little beach place
heat
dry wasteland like conditions
stress as its harvest time and the parents were stressing out or whatever
christmas..yay
flies..lots of flies
and heat

You start a thread asking people for what music they like and listen to in the summer. You then act surprised that people have different taste in music than you and proceed to slam said music. Seriously, what did you expect? I could call your music shit as well, but I don't, because I believe in letting people listen to what they like.

Also, way to generalize:

And what's with all the dance music, techno and shit that gets posted here? Are frat boys the only people who enjoy the summer in other countries?

Some of us enjoy forms of music, without adhering to stereotypes.
