Not just songs with summer in the title, but songs that make you feel summer even if it wasn't.

I heard "Crazy" by Aerosmith yesterday and I could feel the heat. I was instantly back by the pool soaking rays, smelling the suntan lotion and checking out chicks through the sunglasses.

Everything about the song is perfect - the mandolin, Joe Perry's long searing guitar notes to start the solo, Steven Tyler's backporch bluesy harmoinica. The video, of course. Just perfect.

What songs take you back to summer or feel like summer when you hear them?

I always felt that "Interstate Love Song" by STP was a great summer song.

I believe I mention them in most all “nostalgia” threads, but semi charmed life is always straight ‘summer’ feelings to me.

It really comes down to songs you have specific summer memories and experiences with. Mine are probably that way because I may just remember listening to them at the beach or by a pool.

Space Age Love Song - A Flock Of Seagulls
Tomorrow People - Ziggy Marley
New Religion - Duran Duran
Freedom 90 - George Micheal
Paradise - Sade
Dancing In The Streets - Van Halen
