What music do you like to listen to on a lovely summer day?
Scoobie Do - Beautiful Days
Perfect music for driving down a country road with the windows open.

ocean man by ween is the best summer-ish song ever. it doesn't matter what mood i'm in, i'm always happy by the end of that song.
and i know i keep plugging the new boards of canada (i know i've mentioned it a time or two, at least) but it is great summer evening music... i'm guessing. it hasn't actually been around long enough for me to listen to it during the summer, but it makes me think of warm evenings.

I like driving around with the windows down listening to Lush's Gala album, and Ben Folds Five's first album is a good one too.

the flaming lips, weezer's first two albums are great for driving in the summer.

Yeah, "Everything Has Changed" with the windows down and the night sort of hot and cool... amazing. Also Howe Gelb/Calexico/Giant Sand/Band of Blacky Ranchette.

Waterboys...
"Fisherman's Blues"
"Room to Roam"
"This is the Sea"
"with light in my head, you in my arms, whoo-hoo-hoo!"
Celtic-folky-rock-"big music" music. Works best while driving in the country. 8)

<b>Cake</b> is a really good band to listen to in the summer.
But then again, Cake's just a really good band to listen to in general.

In my opinion, the perfect summer song is "Jane Says".

why'd you open this in April, fer cryin' out loud?
now that we're on this side of the equinox and the offishul start of summer, let me posit Summer Madness by Kool and the Gang, that track DJ Jazzy Jeff lifted for "Summertime" by himself and the Fresh Prince. it is a nice, smooth groove. discuss!
also, insofar as songs with the season in their title, "a summer song" by chad & jeremy, "summer in the city" by the lovin' spoonful, theme from "a summer place," mungo jerry's "in the summertime," and that classic "summertime blues" are all good.
i think maybe for my radio show next week ... wait, i won't be there for it. all right, sometime in july on my radio show i'll do summer songs, with suggestions from this thread.

Summer in the title:
"Boys of Summer" - Don Henley
"Summer '68" - Pink Floyd
There's a whole charity album called "Songs for Summer" which includes something by the Jazz Butcher, Soul Coughing, Ben Folds etc. as well as a bunch of other people, although here "Summer" is a girl, not a season. edit : link Many songs have "Summer" in the title.
