since the 80s are back again, you GOTTA have the dj jazzy jeff and fresh prince song.

'summer' by war is also a great nugget. mellow track...

i'd skip the eddie cochran or who versions of 'summertime blues' and go for the crunching guitar mess of the version by blue cheer.

oh, and now you got me started...

'i can see clearly now'
'good vibrations'
'where's summer b?' - ben folds
'mozambique' - dylan
'let's live it up' - brian setzer orchestra
'ridin' on the back' - francis dunnery
'you make me feel so young' - frank, of course
'big mouth blues' - gram parsons
'let me have it all' - either by joe henry or sly stone's original
'kiss of life' - peter gabriel
'alphabet st' & 'gett off' - prince
'handshake drugs' & 'i'm always in love' - wilco
'summertime [ufo remix]' - sarah vaughn from verve remixed
'i just wanna have something to do' - ramones or the cover by garbage

i've had beck's 'hell yes' in constant rotation in my car. can't get enough of that one.

Oh, no, vado, say it ain't so....Bob Seger?!? Every one of his songs ends with the same chord and title lyric over and over and over and over....he is one artist who always prompts me to turn my radio off as fast as I can reach it.

How about:

"Sunshine" - World Party
"Sunrise Sunrise" - Norah Jones
and of course
"Take Me Home Country Roads" - Toots and the Maytalis

summertime by janis jopin is the first thing that comes to my mind.

I'll bid:
"Steal my sunshine" -- Len
"Starry Eyed Surprise" -- Oakenfold
"So Nice" -- Bebel Gilberto

not per correll- we have the same record collection. blue cheer i had that record man.

that list was what i pulled out of the catalog that i've bothered to save onto my computer. same record collection? you must have GREAT taste, vado.

first had blue cheer's 'summertime blues' on 45. then on a vinyl greatest hits compilation. now, yes, on cd as well as on my computer.

i remember that the flip side of the 45 was a whacked psyche-out called 'out of focus'. brilliant. i made sure it was on the cd.
