Best summer songs

Tut tut, you have to say what the link is. I'm not opening random stuff. This was decided at the 2007 chit chat a.g.m.
It could be a great tune but I'll never know...

A schoolboy error

Summer Breeze - Isley Brothers

Honestly pumps, iawn should know better.

beach baby--first class

Isn't it obvious?

It's a summer song by a band I rarely mention.

Sorry, but this tops them all. An unfashionable choice maybe, but this is a timeless gem.

The Bike Sheds - David Keenan

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A5MS-bJ2kg

I will paint rainbows in puddles of petrol for you, dissipate your troubles should you ask me to, if you ask me to...
I'll meet you at the Bike Sheds on a sunny day.

^^^^ Carol From Essex - 4th form signature tune

Calling EGNER…… MYMF…….. a superb choice….. Morcheeba's "The Sea"…… always a great listen…… and their 'Blindfold' not far behind it…

…… my dream for this Summer…. to go on a long weekend by the sea with my girls Emily M…… and Allegra S….  we walk the beach late at night….holding hands …. your humble author in the middle….. our stomachs satisfyingly full after large portions of haddock, chips, mushy peas (wrapped in newspaper)….. and a large 99 each….. the stars out and guiding us…… as we walk back to our Whitby static caravan park…..your humble author splashing the cash…. NOTHING but the best for my High Maintenance girls…… our cramped candlelit 'room' will surely be hearing sweet sounds all weekend…..and this one too

Groove Armada  "At The River"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb2HBDxqwIg

...now that is a plan alun.....

...I am packing my camera as we speak!!

aaaaaahahhaahahahhaaaaaaa

the birds and the bees will surely learn a lot from looking at the sumptuous results of that landmark photographic quest…...

..of course I will be needing an assistant.....will need another politico for background info etc...

Isabel Hardman fits the bill nicely.....

…… yes MYMF….. a sound business decision……. and I'm poised to watch her imminent TV contribution…… expectations high after your build-up…..

D That summer feeling
G That summer feeling
D That summer feeling G

When there's D things to do not beGcause you got to
When you D run for love not beGcause you ought to
When you D trust your friends with no G reason not to
The F#m joy I name shall A not be tamed
And that Em summer feeling is gonna A haunt you
One day in your life.

When the cool of the pond makes you drop down on it
When the smell of the lawn makes you flop down on it
When the teenage car gets the cop down on it
The time is here for one more year
And that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life.

If you've forgotten what I'm naming
You're gonna long to reclaim it one day
Because that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life.

And if you wait until your older
A sad resentment will smoulder one day
And then that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
And that summer feeling's gonna taunt you
And then that summer feeling is gonna hurt you
One day in your life.

When even fourth grade starts looking good,
Which you hated,
And first grade's looking good too,
Overrated,
And you boys long for some little girl
That you dated
Do you long for her of for the way you were?
That summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life.

When the Oldsmobile has got the top down on it
When the catamaran has got the drop down on it
When the fat of the land has got the crop down on it
Some things were good before and some things never were
But that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life.

Well when your friends are in town and they've got time for ya
When you're with them hanging round and they don't ignore ya
When you say what you will and they still adore ya
Is that not appealing?
It's that summer feeling.
That summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life.

It's gonna haunt you
It's gonna taunt you
You're gonna want this feeling inside one more time.
It's gonna haunt you
It's gonna taunt you
You're gonna want this feeling inside one more time.
One more thing...

When you're hanging around the park with the water fountain
And there's the little girl with the dirty ankles, cos she's
On the swings, you know, and all the dust is kicking up
And you remember the ankle locking
And the way she flirted with you
For all this time, how come?
Well that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life.

You'll throw away everything for it.
You'll throw away everything for it.
One more thing...

Well when the playground that just was all dirt
Comes haunting.
And that little girl that called you a flirt
Memory comes taunting
You pick these things apart they're not that appealing
You put them together and you'll get this certain feeling
And that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life.

It's gonna haunt you
It's gonna taunt you
You're gonna want this feeling inside
One more time.
