what do you think is the ultimate summer tune?

This may be best situated in the music forum but I'd like to hear the response all the same.

Considering the summer is not long away and it's the time of year everyone loves, what's the one song that really psyches you up and brings back fond memories of summers past.

Id have to say.. Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles!

Once Around the Block by Badly Drawn Boy, I'm too much of a tech nitwit to embed it but look it up! , Great Tune!!

Animal Collective - My Girls is a great summer sounding tune.

Also Youngblood by The Naked and Famous.

Logical Fallacy · 24-03-2012 10:53pm

This tune is something i will always associate with summer time. Heard it countless times at many a mid summer rave.

For me personally it has to be America's 'Ventura Highway' - to me the song seems so evocative of both long, seemingly endless, summer days and of the 70's themselves. Hope ye like it?

Whenever I hear this song, I always feel a pang of nostalgia inside for that tingly newness of teenage summers when everything seemed so exciting and all you had to worry about was some irrelevant summer job in between partying -I miss those days

Day We Caught the Train by Ocean Colour Scene,

or...

Local Boy in the Photograph by Stereophonics.

Very mainstream 90's, I know, but I don't care.

Latchy · 24-03-2012 11:46pm

So many to choose from over the decades and I had a few in mind ie, Summer Sunshine by the Corrs and while it may not be the ultimate summer tune, this instrumental 'Theme For Young Lovers ' is a big fav ...
