Songs of Summer? (dancing, jazz, genre, title, DJ)

Supersonic11 · 01-02-2007, 08:15 PM

I could use some help from any/all music lovers. I am writing a teen comedy screenplay which takes place over the course of a summer. Every list I have seen on the internet for best summer songs include mostly older songs or songs that I would have already thought of.

I am looking for some songs, that to you,remind you of summer. All genres of music are fair game. I listen to music while I write and I would love to be able to listen to some music that has a "summer" feel to it, in the hope that it can inspire me or put me in a summer mood.

Please dont list these songs, I am already well aware of their summer ties

1. Any Beach Boys song
2. Boys of Summer - Don Henley or The Ataris
3. Summer Lovin - John Travolta and Olivia Newton John
4. Schools Out - Alice Cooper
5. Summer in the City - The Lovin' Spoonful
6. Summertime - DJ Jazzy Jeff and Will Smith
7. Wipeout - The Safaris
8. Any surf music for that matter.
9. Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison
10. Dancing in the Street - Martha and the Vandellas

As you can see, I am looking for more songs that have a feel of summer, not just those that mention "summer" or have "summer" in the title. I would appreciate any and all suggestions. Thanks!

"Animal Fat" by Apostle of Hustle really makes me think of summer. "Too Young To Fight It" by Young Love, definitely. I'll think of more. If you'd like, I'll upload a few for ya.
