New Music Challenge: Summer Songs

You think memories of Richard Marx, Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, blue eye shadow, big hair and pink prom dresses might be 'good'?

 

"Cruel Summer" — Bananrama.

Released during a summer that for me was anything but.

 

Feeling a little lazy right now, but has anybody mentioned this one yet:

"Wild Summer Nights" - John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band (from the Eddie & the Cruisers soundtrack)

 

OK, summer is not in the title ... but the first word in the song.

Magic by The Cars ...

"Summer turns me upside down. Summer, summer, summer, it's like a merry go round."

 

It's the Summertime - Joe D'Urso & Stone Caravan

 

Lotsa Loaf love.
One vote for any instrumental by The Ventures, especially "Walk, Don't Run."

 

whoever said music never stopped, very nice

vivid summer song without using the word summer

just get ready for a lot of Donna screaming!

There's mosquitoes on the river
(ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Fish are rising up like birds
(ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's been hot for seven weeks now,
Too hot to even speak now,
Did you hear what I just heard?

...

great song

and RE: Meatloaf

Bat Out of Hell is a terrific piece of work, but I suspect the real geniuses in the project were Steinman and Rundgren

 

Don't ask why...
"Dirty Black Summer" by Danzig
