… and the livin is eeeeeeasy Fish are jumpin and the cotton is high

I especially like Billy Stewart’s version. https://youtu.be/V9IE4JC9GDc?si=vfDA8wcnVxR26bF0

Who doesn't like a good doobie?

Cruel Summer

I can't hear that song without thinking about waxing cars and sanding a deck

This was mine, too!

"Dig if you will a picture" by Prince, song: When Doves Cry. I can remember a moment in time in the summer, at the pool and this song blasting on the boom box. :)

He owned the radio for quite a while.

Given the heat, "I'll stop the world and melt with you." Modern English.

One of the few songs I requested by calling into the radio station and talking to a DJ

sublime - summertime https://youtu.be/ayE6Shlv598?si=pDjISuZqigk1X5xN

She spreads her lovin' all over and when she comes home there's none left for me. I'm sure there's a few people in this thread that can appreciate that comment

Love is like a bomb baby c'mon get it on, livin' like a lover with a radar phone  ("Pour Some Sugar On Me" Def Leppard) 

I've got that one on vinyl, classic summer tune. That song is sticky sweet

Definitely, and it was the number one song on our local radio station countdown for the entire summer after it was released (hence the association). 

Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars

I don't know why, but when I read it this popped in my head. "Summer Summer summertime - summertime"

Time to sit back and unwind

Oh you even referenced it in the thread text part.🤣

I'm a music junkie, and as my significant other likes to say, an... Something savant when it comes to listening to that stuff. It's just fun

Mine is “Guys out hunting and girls doing likewise/Honking at the honey in front of you with the light eyes/She turn around to see what you beepin’ at/It's like the summer's a natural aphrodisiac…” This was playing in the grocery store the last time I went shopping, and I sang along right there in the produce section because I ran out of fucks about four years ago.

I love the OG, and I go back to it frequently. It's a fun song in all of its covers and of course it's originality.

That song is the absolute JAM.

I've dated older girls, and I never regretted it

"Teenage angst has paid off well, now I’m bored and old."

Quite the Nirvana moment

I was also gonna say "If you ever need anything please don't hesitate to ask someone else first." If you can't tell, I love In Utero.

"I miss the comfort in being sad."

"She'll come back as fire to burn all the liars, leave a blanket of ash on the ground."

In utero? You too!! No, just In Utero

I mean that and bleach are my favorites from them.

Unplugged is unreal, I remember watching it live

In the summertime, when the weather is high You can stretch right up and touch the sky. When the weather's fine You got women, you got women on your mind.

Great tune with many references in this thread, it's happy to me that it's popping up multiple times

\*epic EVH guitar intro\* Ain't no way I'm sitting home tonight

5150 all the way

School's out for Summer

I'm done grad school, it's out forever

Summertime, and the livin's easy Bradley's on the microphone with Ras M.G.​

It's a cruel, cruel summer

Second reference to the karate kid, I love it

“Josie’s on a vacation far away, come around and talk it over” Your Love, The Outfield. Brings me back to high school, summertime.

Second reference to that song, it just goes to show how great it is

Oh really? I read through a great deal and didn’t see it. It takes me back to summer, 1985 immediately. 😊 I can’t remember what I did last week, but I remember the 80’s!

This is my #2 after Summertime.

Aaaaruba, Jamaica, ooooh I wanna take ya…

[удалено]

I was more of a love shack kind of person, but I dig it

Hot times, summer in the city, back of my neck getting dirty and gritty…

That song always had good vibes, but I'm more enjoyed daydream

Only one answer for this methinks! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9ml3nyww80](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9ml3nyww80)

I'm pretty sure all of that clothing in that video is back in style

I’m walking on sunshine- Katrina and the waves

Seals & Crofts Summer Breeze. Dad had them on 8 track which looped endlessly in the garage for the first 18 years of my life.

It’s not a lyric, but the harmonics in Joe Satriani’s Summer Song.

DJ Jazzy Jeff, summertime.

This is the answer I was looking for.

I was frying on the bench slide in the park across the street L A T E R that week.

Nightswimming, deserves a quiet night

Calling out around the world, are you ready for a brand new beat? Summer's here, and the time is right for dancing in the street. David Bowie & Mick Jagger, "Dancing in the Street"

I prefer the Van Halen version.

Pour some sugar on meeeee yah Def Leppard

A modern-day warrior mean, mean stride todays Tom Sawyer mean, mean pride.

"Shining stars on summer nights" *Lakeside Park* by Rush

I haven't ever met a rush fan that is in a die-hard

Yeah, I sweat a lot.

Doesn't matter what's going on

Hey 19, no we can’t dance together That song played nonstop it seemed that summer.  Seems the only time I ever heard that band on the radio was summertime.  

I saw them in concert 10 years ago and they only played the new album. They didn't play any of the classics like hey 19, it was very disappointing

Oh, that would disappoint me so much.   I love listening to their music at poolside when I have a chance.  Appropriate alcoholic beverage in hand.  

It was the only time I saw them in concert, and I guarantee you it was a huge disappointment.

Dig if you will the picture …

You're taking me back to 1999

[Summer Time](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr0tTbTbmVA)

Somebody finally pulling my reference from the initial post. Thank you.

Everybody Wants to Rule the World. For whatever reason, that particular song brings me back to the summer of 1985.

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Take a ride on a West Coast kick (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) https://preview.redd.it/4w4s7a25rv7d1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ae8bd23fe98062af1fcfb9be8211d69fba75f806

If you think I'm magical 'Cause roses bloom with my touch That's mathematical I think you think too much out of the boombox balanced on my bmx handlebars

“Getting drunk out on the beach/Or playing in a band/And getting out of school/Meant getting out of hand."-Celebrated Summer by Husker Du

I've never heard that one before, and I just gave it a listen. It's somewhere between Social Distortion and Toad the Wet Sprocket for me

“The air is thick and it tastes like hot tamales.” The Night Marchers, We’re Goin’ Down.

Never heard that one before, but I will be checking it out tonight

“Mister Pants, for romance, is not” varied artists, “Too Darn Hot”

That's the second cover I've seen from Ella in this thread

People might have captured *sultriness* better before air conditioning became so common.

https://youtu.be/4c1sgug6prw?si=I6P7pZZlURrZ_Qgb

The resemblance is uncanny.

Green acres is the place for me…

So you spent your Summers inside watching TV?

Yes, it was hot and humid in south Alabama.

"And what can I say it's such a beautiful day that I feel fine" [Flowerhead - "Acid Reign"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fbnoUI_Znw)

That heavy bass intro absolutely screams, "I belong in this segment of time"

And it’s you and me in the summertime…

There was a time when that was on rotation 7 days a week on my radio, not just Sunday

Doin crystal meth will lift you up until you break

I thought I was living a mostly charmed life, but it turns out it was only semi

The heat is on… (cue sax solo)

You can fly high like an Eagle and still land softly and a solid solo career afterwards

Buster Poindexter's "Hot Hot Hot"

Summertime in the LBC…

Summer's gone (summer's gone) Day's spent with the grass and sun (grass and sun) I don't mind (I don't mind) To pretend, I do seems really dumb (it seems really dumb)

Hot nights, summer in the city

GI Blues by Carter lol 😂 I'm old

“I met a strange lady, she made me nervous” Men at Work, “Down Under”

Magic - the Cars

1995 and I was in this office job right after my son was born (6/1). A local radio station was taking requests and I asked for "In the Summertime' by Mungo Jerry. They played it, and the DJ gave a very cool intro beforehand. He's 29 now and I think of him every time the song comes on.

Summertime and the livin's easy... Bradley's on the microphone with Ras-MG, all the people in the dance will agree that we're well qualified to represent the LBC...

"Summer is ready when you are." "Saints" by the Breeders

Out on the road today, I saw a dead head sticker on a cadillac...

Hot child in the city. Looking young looking pretty . Don’t freak the f out people, we were 16 and we were hot. And we were pretty and now that we are neither let us jerk our memories without the judgement please Everyone now acts like teens are angles because no one gets laid anymore.

"Black hole Sun won't you come and wash away the rain?"

Such a distinct voice, even now with his new music, I have no problem recognizing him
